On the occasion of my travel to London and the expectation of my absence from Iraq for a period
that may exceed several months, it has become difficult for me to perform the task of Secretary
for the Hospitals Committee, therefore I request the acceptance of my resignation.
On this occasion, I would like to thank your esteemed council for the trust that
you have shown towards me, and I also thank His Excellency the Chairman of the Hospitals Committee,
my fellow members, and the administrative staff at Meir Elias Hospital
for the assistance and cooperation I encountered throughout the duration of my work with them.
I wish them luck and success in their mission of serving humanity
during these difficult circumstances.

To the Presidency of the Hospitals Committee
Greetings
With reference to the resignation letter submitted by the member Mr. Naim Bikhor to the Lay Council dated
22 / 9 / 1950, and a copy thereof to the committee presidency.
Please note the following: -
1- It appears the resignation was submitted to the Lay Council pursuant to Article (9) of the Bylaws of the Israeli Hospitals Committee
in Baghdad. The Council has not yet decided on it according to Article (10) of these bylaws.
2- Since the filling of vacancies is among the rights of the Council according to the procedures set forth in Article (10) of said bylaws, the committee's action
requesting the resigning member to withdraw his resignation as per its letter dated 18 / 10 / 1950 and a copy of it to the Council was not
consistent with the provisions of Article (10) mentioned.
Therefore, under these circumstances, I hope you will wait for the Council's action on the matter and obtain its specific decision in this regard.
With respect.
