In a letter to Imam Khomeini, Mr. Mir Husayn Mousawi, the Prime Minister, said:
"With greetings and salutations. Your Eminence is notified that following the recent evil acts of the bloodthirsty `Aflaqi regime of Iraq in and bombardment of cities and residential regions and the ensuing damages, inspired by the Prime Minister responsibility its shoulder toward this great nation and to support the families inflicted by the bombardments, formed the Supreme Protection council of the bombarded regions with the membership of some ministers, who meet once every week with my presence. Following that, the protection headquarters of the bombarded regions has been formed under the responsibility of the executive department of the Prime Minister's Office and the active presence of fully authorized representatives of the ministries and the concerned organs and institutions. It has taken actions whose daily reports have been systematically submitted to Your Eminence" In the letter, he also presents a report on the credit square of the government and the current problems and asks Imam to allow the government to- in cooperation with the heads of the three branches- use the banking facilities in order to meet its financial needs. In reply Imam Khomeini wrote:
In His Most Exalted Name
In case of necessity and with approval of the heads of the three branches of government, it is agreed upon. God willing you are successful.
