Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 24, 1989

I was tired in the morning because of a bad sleep last night. I swam in the pool, I felt a little sick. I went to Ahmad Agha's house at half past eight. I saw the Imam's residence with the additions there. Ahmad Agha suggests that we settle there. It has three separate buildings. Its owner is [Mr.] Khosrowshahi, who is abroad and left it at the disposal of Beit Imam. They are supposed to talk to his lawyer about this. After the family sees and likes it, let's decide; It is more than housing needs.

I went to the parliament. Messrs. [Rasoul] Mutjab Nia and [Mortaza] Katirai came. They brought their opinion about cabinet ministers. They have met very linearly. Mr. [Ali] Aghamohammadi came and explained about this.

Zahor Mohsen came, had lunch with me and talked about the issue of missile manufacturing and the conflict between the plans of the IRGC and the army and about the costly renovations, which I said would end with the merger of the two ministries [defense and IRGC]. Salmani came to reform. I did physiotherapy in the evening. Mr. [Syed Mansour] Razavi [head of the administrative and employment affairs organization] came and brought the plan of the presidential establishment; not bad

Dr. Velayati, Lavasani and Tabatabai came and discussed the trip to Yugoslavia to participate in the non-aligned conference. They believe that we should participate. They came from Resalat newspaper for an interview that lasted until eight o'clock in the evening. I came home at night.
