Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – December 31, 1988

At 8:30 in the morning, I went to the IRGC's information protection location at the former American embassy. I visited the exhibition, works and programs for an hour. Then I spoke for them in the group of security officials who are having a seminar. I went to the parliament at half past one.

In the evening, Mr. Behzad Nabavi [Minister of Heavy Industries and Chairman of the Joint Industrial and Economic Committee of Iran and Libya] and [Syed Kazem] Khansari, our ambassador in Libya, came. They wanted a refueling plane for Libya and they insisted a lot. It was decided to negotiate at the summit meeting; The night was negotiated. According to the contract, we do not have the right to hand over some purchased weapons. It's easier to refuel an F-14 that we've refueled ourselves.

The night of the meeting of the heads of forces was in my office. They talked about the Afghan camp in Zahedan. In his meeting, Mr. Burhanuddin Rabbani requested that some Afghan refugees be sent to the camp with coordination. For now, they are free in the city and causing problems. It was agreed and it was decided to notify the governor of Sistan and Baluchistan.

We discussed about providing currency for the central bank. The Prime Minister said that oil has been pre-sold and an amount has been obtained and this work continues. In order to fast, I stayed in the assembly. At the end of the night, Efat called and expressed his regret for not going home. He doesn't think about the problems of commuting and getting up at dawn and not sleeping after that and being in the assembly early in the morning.
