[In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful]
One of our important problems is the economy. We must try to become powerful and self-sufficient from the aspect of the economy. Agriculture, for which during the former regime plans were made to destroy it, in order to make us dependent, should be given more attention. Of course, we must also move towards industry, but if we divert from agriculture, it will result in the destruction of what we already have great potentials for it. The objective, followed by the previous regime, from the propaganda of" Great Civilization" lead to destruction of agriculture, consequently, country possessing water, and land resources, made its water waste and the land was rendered barren and unused. The people must make the effort not to waste the water, make use of the land, and become active in the sector of agriculture and small industries. The focus of the government on large industries should not result in the destruction of small industries and the government must make use of all its energies for agriculture. The reason that religious authorities supervise the Economic and Planning Council refers to paying attention to the religious affairs. Their supervision can lead towards the plans that you present for approval to the Islamic Consultative Assembly, subsequently, it will not be rejected by the Guardian Council, hence task is facilitated and your plans are not kept pending. I pray for all of you who assist the Revolution and Islam. I am optimistic for your success.
