[In His Most Exalted Name
To His Holiness Great Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini- may his benign existence endure,
With greetings and best wishes, Your Eminence is kindly notified that one of the honorable deputies in the Islamic Consultative Assembly( may God Almighty assist him ), has mentioned a subject in opposition to Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimin Mr. Muhtashami, the Minister of Interior. He has quoted your letter to the cabinet in which you have observed that every minister should act within the bounds of his authorities. The deputy argues that the letter is addressed to Mr. Muhtashami. Now, the question has arisen for the honorable deputies including me what our duties are. The command is with you.

In His Most Exalted Name
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Mr. Muhtashami (may God Almighty assist him) is among my old friends. He is a religious, devoted and combatant person with political acumen and has always been among the good servants of Islam and Iran.
Mr. Muhtashami is not what I meant in my letter to the cabinet. God willing, the gentlemen should be cautious in attributing things to other; they should observe religious considerations.
