Further Budget Reduction- Advise plan two. Urge, however, maintain permanent entrance ways, vestibules and metal doors. Also permanent rubber tile or terrazzo floor. Considering soaring prices, shortness of period, weighty issues involved, approve still more drastic reduction of budget, complete suspension during two years of appropriations for activities unconnected with European project, Latin American work and assembly consolidation in United States. (65:1) Curtailment of Some Activities- Budgets for activities in Europe, Latin America and consolidation work in United States should not be reduced owing to their vital relation to Second Seven Year plan. All other activities, whether connected with proclamation of Faith, publications, Baha'i Magazine, Baha'i World or schools, should either be drastically curtailed or suspended during two years. Holding Annual Convention and maintenance of Baha'i News essential. (65:2) Divert Contributions to Temple Fund Advise that you divert contributions for International Fund to Temple Fund, and suspend World Order Magazine. (65:3) Suspend World Order Magazine- Advise you to suspend magazine for next two years. Appeal on my behalf to subscribers in East and West to devote their subscription fee to Temple Fund. Owing to present emergency such action would be highly meritorious.
