d in every way possible by the National Assembly.

2. Every application for pioneering must be expedited, and not allowed to
drag in any way, either in the handling of the NSA, or any Committee
working out the details for the NSA.

3. The National Assembly must make the settlement of their virgin areas,
the first order of their business. In other words, nothing is more
important at this time, than settlement in the 131 virgin areas.

4. More than two pioneers should not be sent to any one place; unless, of
course, they are members of one family. In fact, what is wanted is to
settle each area with Baha'is, and therefore, one Baha'i will fulfill the
initial task.

The specific suggestions which the Guardian makes, are: a. Areas close at
hand and easy of settlement should be filled first. Then the areas more
difficult, and finally, the difficult ones.

b. Whenever a pioneer enters a new territory, a cable should be sent at
once to the Beloved Guardian, giving the name, place and any pertinent
information.

c. A report should be sent each month by your Assembly to the Secretary
General of the International Baha'i Council, giving the progress of your
teaching work in the virgin areas of the Plan, particularly the
development of your plans for settling them. This does not mean your
Assembly should correspond with the International Council concerning
administrative matters; as all administrative matters should be handled in
the usual manner, directly with the Guardian. It simply means that reports
and data concerning the development of the plan should be sent to the
International Council for consolidation with other reports, for the
Guardian.

d. The Guardian feels the following areas should be easily settled and he
would appreciate your arranging to send pioneers there at the earliest
possible date. Portugese Timor, New Hebrides Islands, Admiralty Islands;
and then the other Islands as you can place pioneers on them.

As his dramatic cable indicates, the Guardian is preparing an illuminated
"Roll of Honor", on which will be inscribed the names of the "Knights of
Baha'u'llah" who first enter these 131 virgin areas. This "Roll of Honor"
will be placed inside the entrance door of the Inner Sanctuary of The Tomb
of Baha'u'llah.

From time to time, the Guardian will announce to the Baha'i World, the
names of those Holy Souls who arise under the conditions outlined in his
message, and settle these areas, and conquer them
