In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dr. Ibrahim Yazdi, may God assist him,
The press media plays an important part in building a society. More than a year has elapsed since the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran. But it is noted that many of the papers are not in the service of the Islamic Revolution. Fundamental reformation should take place in that sphere. The deviated persons who cause these things should be dismissed from this complex of public media. Therefore, you are appointed as the head of Kayhan Organization, which is one of the oppressed peoples. You have the ability and administrative efficiency for this sensitive job and reformation. You may manage things with the cooperation of the respected staff as you deem necessary and fit congruous with Islam as the Islamic Republic. I wish prosperity to you from God.
