I studied until ten thirty in the morning. A group of artists came. They displayed several miniature paintings by Master Mahmoud Farshchian, and he explained them to me himself. He has hundreds of important works. He resides in the United States and is working on designing the shrine of Imam Reza (peace be upon him).

I studied until half past ten in the morning. A group of artists came. They showed some miniature paintings of master Mahmoud Farshchian and he explained to me. It has hundreds of important works. He lives in America and is busy designing the shrine of Imam Reza (AS). He says that because he was healed by Imam Reza (a.s.) for his crippled hand, he became an honorary servant. In the meeting that was held to give him the government badge, Mr. [Abul Qasim] Khushro, [Art Deputy of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance], gave a report on the [Biennial Iranian-Islamic Painting] exhibition and Mr. Alaei reported the reason for choosing him for the badge, and I awarded the badge and spoke to the crowd about art. He also spoke briefly. He gave a collection of his paintings, which he had collected in a book, as a gift and said that he would give the coins to the threshold of Imam Reza (a.s.).

We had a market regulation headquarters meeting. Mr. [Abdel Ali Ali] Asgari, [Advisor to the President on Distribution Matters], gave a progress report on the construction of Refah chain stores, and I expressed my dissatisfaction with the slowness of work. We had approvals. In the evening, in the meeting of the government board, the implementation of public health insurance was discussed and left unfinished.

Then I had an interview with CNN. Ms. [Christine] Amanpour, who is Iranian, was the interviewer; With another Iranian female assistant, named [Parisa] Khosravi. The interview was broadcast live. They have advertised since yesterday and the whole world was waiting for an interview. The questions were not mischievous, but skillful. After the 28-minute interview, people complained to my office because of the translator's weakness. Mehdi called from Moscow and said that he had listened to the interview in a group of foreigners and it was very interesting for them. He is satisfied with his itinerary. He was allowed to stay two or three days longer to see Russia. I told him to request a meeting with Yeltsin.

I was the guest of Ayatollah Khamenei that night. We negotiated about new rights, nuclear energy, Russia, information and the society of militant clergy, etc.
