Dear Rendel,
I am writing with reference to your letter (E.6311/61/34)
of 3rd December to the legation at Tehran regarding the
question of providing foreign exchange for certain British
subjects in Iran from official sources.
2. I can see no immediate way of helping British
subjects in Iran who are either employed there and wish to
remit funds abroad for the support of their families or who
wish to leave Iran and take their capital with them except
that of taking up each case with the Exchange Control
Commission and the Ministry of foreign Affairs. /presumably
the Legation are taking full advantage of Article 15fc) of
the Regulations governing the application of the exchange
Control Law which provides for the issuing of exchange
permits for the payment of one-half of the salaries of the
employees of public institutions in Iran^y
3. In considering the question of exchanging the
Legation's sterling funds into rials for the benefit of these
two groups of British subjects, I presume that regard will
be had to Article 7 of the Exchange Control Law which provides
Rendel, i^sq., C .M. 0.
