Mr. [Mohammad Hossein] Rezaei, [head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization], reported by phone from Makkah and said that in the Mina fire, 95% of the Iranians' tents were burnt and the Saudis are renewing them, and the food is contaminated and cannot be consumed. Two Iranians who worked there were missing and were found today. He said that the dead are more than the number announced by the official authorities.
The directors of the Ministry of Industries and the directors of the cement industry came. [Mr. Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh], the Minister of Industries gave a progress report and presented a gift from the managers. It took all the time and I made a short speech in appreciation of the progress of the industries and introduced the future with hope.
Expediency Council had a meeting. Some of them are on a trip to Mecca, but the official quorum has reached. Some of the anti-narcotics law was amended and left unfinished, and some of the regulations and work place of the assembly were discussed.
In the evening, Mr. [Hossein] Kamali, [Alireza] Mahjoub and [Ali] Ebad [= Rabiei] came in the evening. They thanked me for my support to the workers and development programs of the country and expressed concern about the possible conditions after me. They asked my opinion for the election, for the position of the Labor House. They are hesitant to choose Mr. [Ali Akbar] Natiq [Nouri] or [Syed Mohammad] Khatami as an independent candidate or remain silent; I did not want to express an opinion. I was supposed to talk with Mr. Kamali later.
I returned to my office from the meeting of the government board, after some resolutions. I did the work and went to the office of Mr. [Mohammed] Yazdi, the head of the judiciary, for dinner. Mr. Natiq [Nuri, Speaker of the Parliament] also came and gave a report on his trip to Russia. He is very satisfied with the position of the Russians against the blackmails of the West; It is interesting and for our benefit.
They talked about the [presidential] election. Mr. Yazdi reported that the community of teachers [Qom Theological Seminary] is not ready to make a statement to confirm Mr. Natiq, but agreed that Mr. [Reza] Ostadi should tell the news in an interview. They are worried about the progress of Mr. [Syed Mohammad] Khatami's work, considering the [construction] agents' approval of him, and they are complaining about Mr. [Syed Reza] Zavarahi and [Mohammed Mohammadi] Ray Shahri, who [by running in the elections] have split their votes, and they expect me to help them and, considering that a part of the people consider the agents to be in harmony with me, to remedy it in some way. I slept in the office.
