Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – May 1, 1982

I stayed at home; Studying, walking, and doing things on the phone. I studied the plan of the banking system and the legal bill of Article 49. The first is good and the second is badly written and destroys economic trust. I spoke with the Karbala camp on the front. We were supposed to recapture Khorramshahr last night, but it has been postponed until tonight or tomorrow night. They have also had an operation on the Fake front and captured seven hundred Iraqis. Imam had a meeting with the workers on the occasion of Labor Day and had a good talk. I went to the Imam's office at night. 

We saw the video of the interview with Mr. Shariatmadari, conducted by Mr. Rishahri. He admits to informing and giving money (not as a coup, but to buy a house) and asks the Imam for forgiveness and a reduction in advertising. One opinion is that a part of it should be removed, and the same opinion is quoted from the Imam; Another opinion is that it is more authentic if it is broadcast without censorship. It was scheduled to be broadcast tomorrow night. Mr. Colonel Salimi, the Minister of Defense, asked for an opinion on sending an intern to the Soviet Union to see the Sam 6 anti-aircraft missile course over the phone, and I agreed. In the evening, I answered the questions that were sent from the party by Fati about the Hojjatiye Association and the rewards of groups and mid-term elections. Mrs. Motahari wants a message from the imam for the anniversary of his martyrdom, but the imam was content to speak at the meeting ceremony.
