TO THE CPSU CENTRAL COMMITTEE

Cde. Radmanesh, General Secretary of the CC of the People's Party of Iran (NPI), has turned to the CPSU CC with a request to give monthly material aid to NPI member Khatibi, a first-year student of Ashkhabad State University.

Khatibi is an Iranian Army colonel, one of the leaders of the NPI military organization. In 1954 he fled the persecution of the Iranian authorities for active participation in the national liberation struggle of the Iranian people.

We consider it possible to grant the request of Cde. Radmanesh and give Khatibi material aid at the expense of the Executive Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent of 500 rubles a month beginning in May 1955, and to also give him one-time aid of 3,000 rubles to obtain personal effects.

The issue has been coordinated with Cde. Miterev.
