Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – September 28, 1997

Dr. [Mohammed Ali] Kaynejad, [Secretary of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution] came. He gave the report of the work of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution after me and requested for the preparation of the building. It is expected that we will give them the house of Prof. Adl, which we have taken for the secretariat of the assembly. Consulted for future work.

Mr. Dr. [Mehdi] Akbarzadeh, [Deputy Minister of Agriculture] came. He gave the report of the work in the production of different kinds of weed poisons, which is an important work, and he told his plan for the production of other main materials, and asked for the credits that have not been given so far, and he said that the taxi driver on the way told him that no one can move the country forward except for Mr. Rafsanjani.

Mr. Timsar [Reza] Saifullahi came. He said, he is unemployed in the leadership consulting position. He moved his house to Qom and wants to study. He is ready to work in the assembly secretariat. In the evening, Mr. [Ruhullah] Hosseinian, [the head of the Islamic Revolution Documentation Center] came. He brought a number of books published by the Islamic Revolution Documentation Center, including the memoirs of Mr. [Mohammed Taghi] Philosopher and a draft of my memoirs, and asked for permission to publish them. I said I will check, but I don't know if it is expedient. He said, in the circles of the leftists, it is believed that Mr. Khatami's government will not succeed in fulfilling its promises, and therefore they have decided to spread the word that the leadership and the council have decided to sabotage the work. [Mr. Mohammad Shariatmadari], Minister of Commerce, has expressed doubt in the meeting of the population of values, in the power of the government's success in solving economic problems, especially the recession that has recently occurred in the country's economy. He himself mentioned examples of the severe stagnation of the market and expressed his opinion that Mr. Khatami cannot work and does not go beyond the slogan; I said that about 45 days have passed since the life of the new government.

Meanwhile, at the end of his speech, he said that until a few months ago, he had a negative opinion of me, but he saw Imam Zaman in a dream, and because of the ambiguities that occurred to him regarding the election issues, he is asking Imam Zaman to guide and enlighten him. Imam says, refer to Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani. He is surprised and asks for guidance with disbelief, he hears the same answer and the same question and answer are repeated for the third time. He wakes up with fear, while he is sweating profusely, and from then on, he changes his mind. He said that he had already narrated this dream to Ali Akhwazadeh, and he also complained to the leadership office about the pressure to leave the [Islamic Revolution] document center's business by importing mobile phones.

Mr. [Mahmoud] Golzari, [psychologist] came. He expressed appreciation for my recent statements regarding the absence of a specific guardian for the culture of the country and also that the science of ethics, together with new psychology, can determine the principles of the science of ethics. He presented examples of his own research in combining the foundations of Islamic ethics and the opinions of new psychology. It was decided to cooperate to promote Islamic ethics and constructive science.

I was the guest of the leader. He praised Zulfiqar's maneuverability and the weapon that has a range of more than 250 kilometers, with four times the speed of sound; In my government, it was purchased from Russia, and the first Azarakhsh bomber plane, which was built with Shahid Sattari's design and my help, was flown. We talked about Mr. Hosseinian's words, as well as the regulations of the assembly and my trip to Russia.
