In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Dr. Mustafa Chamran (May God be with him),
On the basis of article 110 of the Constitution, a National High Council of Defense is to be formed. I hereby appoint you, in my representation, as the adviser to the High Council. Since we are in exceptional circumstances, it is necessary that every week you brief me with the report of the run of affairs in the military departments towards which you must be vigilant and careful.
