I went to the parliament at half past nine in the morning. [Mr. Majid Ghasemi] the head of Central Bank came. He gave an opinion about the payment method between us and the Soviet Union; There are some problems. In the reports, the issue of the execution of [William] Higgins and the kidnapping of Sheikh [Abdul Karim] Obeid is at the top. It seems that the Americans have not found a cure. They are deadlocked and it seems that they don't want to spread propaganda against Iran in the current situation.

Mr. [Gholamreza] Aghazadeh [Oil Minister] came. The report gave preliminary agreements with South Korea, which are supposed to provide us with adequate credits on good terms for reconstruction, and a good way of carrying out the plans is considered. Regarding the export of gas to the Soviet Union, he pledged to deliver three billion cubic meters of gas in the first year and five billion cubic meters in the following years, and to complete the second pipeline in two years.

Dr. Velayati came. He reported the negotiation with Shevard Nadzeh. The Soviet foreign minister came. In this meeting, we discussed the development of relations, the issues of Afghanistan, Lebanon, war and the West. He brought Gorbachev's congratulatory message and finally requested a private meeting to discuss Lebanon and relations with the West. Then we discussed the cabinet and plans with Dr. Velayati.

Dr. [Abdullah] Jasbi [President of Islamic Azad University] came. He reported on the approval of a part of Islamic Azad University bylaws and criticized [Dr. Mohammad Farhadi] Minister of Science. In the afternoon, Dr. Ganjovian, Dr. Tabatabai and Dr. Jazayeri came. They examined my back and leg pain and gave new orders and medicines.

Mr. Mazaheri came from the Ministry of Information. He criticized some of the managers, deputies and the minister. Mr. Abdullah Nouri came. He gave comments about the presidential and cabinet formations. It was decided to continue the negotiations. In the evening, the Expediency Council had a meeting. We had resolutions about the fight against drugs. I consulted with the leadership about intercession in the current issue of Lebanon [= the hostage crisis]; We were supposed to wait.
