Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – December 14, 1989

I arrived at the parliament at half past seven in the morning. It had rained last night. The reports reflect the lack of progress in Iran-Iraq negotiations and indications from the [UN] Secretary General regarding Iran's cooperation. [Mr. Abdullah Nouri] Minister of Interior came. They talked about the expenses of Jamshid region [Tehran] and the needs of intra-city transportation and elections.

[Mr. Ahmed Zamaniyan and Hassan Jafari] representatives of Nahavand and Babak city came. They complained about the line of three parliaments and told the needs of their constituencies. [Mr. Ahmed Derari] the representative of Rozan Hamadan came. He said the needs of the villages in the region. Mr. [Abbas Waez] Tabasi [Tulit Astan Quds Razavi] came. The foreign exchange needs of Astana and the endowments of Astan Quds in Tehran and the transfer of purchased cows to Mashhad by plane and the current issues of the country were discussed.

In the evening, the anti-narcotics headquarters had a meeting. A decision was made regarding the evacuation of some border villages in the east of the country that are in the service of smugglers, as well as the regulations for the sale of smugglers' confiscated property. The report of dismantling corruption centers in Zahedan was given by [Mr. Mahmoud Hojjati] the governor [of Sistan and Baluchistan]. I worked in my office until eight in the evening and came home.
