Dr. [Mohammed Hossein] Adeli, [CEO of the Central Bank] and the jury of the Central Bank building project came. They brought the results of the tender and the important plans and gave explanations to get my approval.

It should be forty floors. Anyway, they left without getting results.

In the evening, the government board had a meeting. Mr. [Mohammed] Saeedi Kia, [Minister of Roads and Transportation] informed that the result of the examination of the black box of the plane crash shows that the Sukhoi plane was at fault; It has exceeded the prescribed speed and has flown above the prescribed level.
