Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – October 7, 1989

I came to my office at half past seven in the morning. I read the reports. I told [Mr. Asghar Ebrahimi Asl], CEO of Tehran Metro, who is supposed to help in the construction of guard houses, to check the plans of the buildings. Each one is about a hundred meters; It seems that they have grown up and are unable to pay the expenses. Mr. [Abulfazl] Tawakuli Bina came and said something about the affairs of the guilds.

Mr. [Mohammed] Zahiri [Minister of Post, Telegraph and Telephone] came. He opposes the decision of the previous government that gave the satellite receiver center to the Program and Budget Organization; It is now in parliament. Mr. [Bijan Namdar] Zanganeh [Minister of Energy] came. He brought a note to be included in the program regarding the permission to create a commitment for the construction of large dams and the permission to install Tehran's water deputy.

Mr. [Hamid] Mirzadeh came for current affairs. I talked with the Minister of Commerce about controlling the price of food and providing people with tea. Asr Mohsen came for special inspection. Mr. [Ismail] Shushtri [Minister of Justice] came and talked about the financial and equipment needs of the judiciary.

Mr. Noorbakhsh, Adeli and [Hadi] Nejad Hosseinian came for the issue of producing cars that heavy industry has a commitment to people and organizations; It was decided to pay a part with a preferential price and a part with the government currency. The night of the meeting of the heads of the three powers was in my office with the presence of Ahmad Agha. They talked about solving the justice problem [Rafsanjan] and the security situation in the east and west of the country. I slept in my office at night.
