Your telegram No. 137.

to him in the sense of your telegram No. 145. I also
read out to him paragraph 2 of your telegram under
reference beginning at the 3rd sentence.
2. Kis Majesty said that he had already convened
Hakimi, Taqizadeh, Tabatabai Saied and Mansur and had
consulted them on the lines you suggest and that he
was having a joint meeting with them and the Cabinet
this evening. It was not yet decided whether a new
Government Would be formed or the present Government
strengthened. The plan now under consideration was on
the lines suggested by Hajir and would involve
convention of a Constituent assembly exclusively to
examine methods of
(a) ^mending the Constitution and
(b) dissolving the Parliament.
The Majlis would be asked to pass Senate bill and
the new electoral law. If these two measures were
rejected by the Majlis they also would be submitted
to the Constituent assembly. This programme had
been suggested by Taqizadeh. It was clear from what
His Majesty said that there is no longer any question
of a dissolution^
3. Before I left him, the Shah said that he hoped
it would be possible to constitute a Government able
/and willing to carry
