Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 22, 1988

It was not important in the reports. I stayed in the public session of the parliament until half past ten in the morning. It was proposed by the representatives that instead of three public meetings, there should be two meetings a week. We also have an agenda. Mr. Majid Ansari came to my office and discussed government issues and other current issues.

At noon, Mr. Mohammadi Gilani and [Khosro] Bijani from the Guardian Council came. They demanded to strengthen the Guardian Council and provide the cars they needed. In the evening, Mr. Samsami came to Beshagard to get help. Mr. [Syed Mohammad Hassan] Nabavi, representative of Bushehr, came. He complains about the strictness of Bushehr customs regarding boatmen.

Timsar [Mansour] Sattari [Commander of the Air Force] came. He reported on the work of the Air Force and received help for the construction of the F-5 aircraft. I asked about Dr. Rouhani's house, he said it is Khatam's house. The place of interrogation of the accused was in a residential area and we did not want them to be there. have been moved to another place.

They came from the Ministry of Information. They reported the discovery of a spy team of the hypocrites in the army and the ministries, who were arrested. They have sent important information to Iraq. I did office work until seven o'clock.

A group of representatives of Line 3 came. They discussed the government because of the importance of its future and sought solutions to make the government more active. The result was that the government should have a plan to solve people's problems and receive serious support. I went to the Expediency Council. Government punishments were in order. Some of them were approved.
