Full Text of the Daily Memo:

Mr. [Hossein] Mirashi, [the representative of Kerman], came to discuss the travel plans for Kerman. Mr. Kazem Estadi arrived with a letter from his father [Mr. Reza Estadi-Moqaddam]. He has written a book on the history of the revolution; he provided explanations and requested me to write the introduction. I told him I would review it, and if the book is good, I will write it. He has organized good materials by interviewing a number of resistance forces and compiling their memories and statements.

Mr. [Mohammad Hassan] Gholi, the former representative of Aligoudarz, came. He complained about his life difficulties and homelessness in Tehran, stating that he wants to return to Aligoudarz due to these problems. I suggested he contact Mohsen at the [Metro] company.

In the afternoon, Mr. [Mousa Hashemi] Golpayegani, the new ambassador to Belarus, came for consultation. He was previously the ambassador of Iran in Uzbekistan. Belarus shares a common perspective with Iran due to its opposition to NATO's eastward expansion. Mr. [Yadollah] Rahimian from Isfahan came to discuss the situation of the city, the conditions of seminaries, and scholars. He also spoke about the resolution of the Expediency Council regarding land reforms during the Shah's era.

Today, Palestinians attacked an Israeli military center in southern Gaza, killing three soldiers and injuring several others. Israel has begun retaliating. Some of the Zionist extremists are talking about war.

In the news today, both domestic and international media expressed surprise at the intense and opposing discussions in Parliament regarding the cabinet, followed by a unanimous vote in favor of all the proposed ministers.
