It is understood that he would have the responsibility of revising the entire police organization and of preparing the Iranians for the various duties connected with the Department throughout the country. As the position is, without doubt, very important in every respect, and the person chosen should have every appropriate qualification, capacity and knowledge, the Minister of Iran would appreciate it very much if The Honorable The Secretary of State would be kind enough to suggest a suitable man to the Minister in order that he may present his name to his Government.87
