Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – January 22, 1994

The directors of the art field [Islamic Propaganda Organization] came on the occasion of the establishment of the art field education institute. Mr. [Mohammed Ali] Zam, [head of the art department] reported and I gave a speech and encouraged them. More than fifty percent of accepted students are women.

Mr. [Masoud Roghani] Zanjani, [Head of the Program and Budget Organization] and the deputies came. They gave a report on the status of the organization of the program and vice-chairs, councils and affiliated institutions. Technical and Informatics Deputy and Mapping Organization gave explanations.

The meeting of the Supreme National Security Council was not held due to the absence of some members. Instead, the first meeting of the heads of the three powers [with the presence of Mr. Ali Akbar Natiq Noori, Speaker of the Islamic Council and Mohammad Yazdi, the head of the Judiciary] was held in my office. We put many topics on the agenda of negotiations; Such as the issues of authority, groups, radicals, extremism in foreign and domestic politics, which leads to the deprivation of job security, planning and investment, and extremism in the special court [Clergy] and revolutionary courts, and the issues of the teachers' community [Qom Seminary] and ignorance of some of the scholars about the basic issues of the country. We agreed to have a meeting once a month. It seems that we agree on all issues.
