Text of a statment by Mohammad Riza Pahlevi

I am going on vacation because I am feeling tired. First I will go to Aswan, Eqypt. With the vote of confidence, given in Parliament today, I hope the Government will be able to make amends for the past and also succeed in laying the foundation for the future. This work needs a long period of cooperation and patriotism in its utmost meaning.

Our economy must start rolling again. We must have better planning for the future. I have no other words to say but: preservation of the system and performamce of duties based on patriotism.
