To the Eminent Leader Imam Khomeini- may his sublime presence endure,
What the Mustad`fan Foundation understood from the government decree of Your Eminence, «1» as has repeatedly required Your Eminence to clarify our duty, is that all the confiscated movable and immovable estates such as barren lands shall absolutely belong to the Mustad`fan Foundation and are not included as government properties. Up to now it has thus been observed. Every now and then, however, the Urban Land Organization creates problems in this regard and despite your explicit and binding edict, it has a different interpretation and excludes the barren lands from the scope of your Eminence's decree.
You are, therefore, respectfully requested to clarify and settle this issue. Should such lands be at the disposal of the foundation to use for cases you have determined earlier or will determine in future or shall we turn them over to Urban Land Organization?

In His Most Exalted Name
The lands that are barren are outside the jurisdiction of my decree.
