Full text of the day: 

Mr. [Mohsen] Mehr Alizadeh, the head of the Physical Education Organization, came. He said that he is thinking of compiling a comprehensive plan for sports and strengthening the private sector and the club. Hamayesh Stadium, a religious government, came. Mr. [Mohammad Javad] Abu al-Qasimi gave a report on the activities of two years of interviews and numerous investigations and consulted on the compilation of the demands in seven prepared paragraphs; Fundamental problems seem to have arrived. We will discuss it at another meeting. 

We had breakfast with a large number of guests. Mr. Khatami reported on the successes of the government without mentioning the failures, which were not acceptable, and they preached to the leadership, and in the end they called for unity and threatened some people who were stirring up sedition. 

Before the meeting, in private talks led by the leadership, I proposed that they take steps to create harmony in the Islamic world on the solutions of the lunar months so that religious ceremonies are coordinated. They have no hope of success, nor do they know it. I told Mr. [Ali] Meshkini [Chairman of the Assembly of Experts] who was present at the meeting about the problems in translating prayers that they had brought in the Mufatihaljnan. They said it was not their own translation. Mr. Khatami also said that his disc pain has finally returned. In the meeting of radical students at Amirkabir University, loud slogans were also given against Mr. Khatami; In addition to anti-judicial slogans. 

Conflicts continue in Palestine and talk of removing [Yasser] Arafat is repeated. In Afghanistan, the news is that the government has taken control of the Torabura Heights, without the capture of bin Laden and Mullah Omar, and the possibility of the surrender of the remaining members of Al Qaeda. 

Newspapers reported that a young woman had thrown herself from the top of the Christmas Tower and died. The second suicide is of this type, using the Birth Tower under construction; It seems that technical problems prevented the completion of the tower.
