Before noon, I spent most of my time reading the memoirs of [William] Sullivan [the last U.S. ambassador to Tehran]. It provides a great deal of information about the history of the Revolution and the internal developments within the Shah's government and in relation to the United States. Books like these are useful for us. Professor Hossein Salmani had come from Nowq. His house is rented by the National Bank, and they will not vacate it; he wanted help. By telephone, I emphasized to the prime minister and the president the need to submit the proposal for the new ministers to the Majlis.
In the afternoon, I went to the Majlis. The presiding board had a meeting. As usual, we arranged the weekly schedule and took care of administrative matters, and we also discussed political issues and the war. The issue of IRIB is still sensitive in the Majlis. I stayed at the Majlis overnight. I read the reports; I went to sleep late. At night, the prime minister informed me that this afternoon the Iraqis had bombed Gilan-e Gharb and about five hundred people had been wounded and fifty had been martyred; I suffer greatly from the fact that our defenses against Iraq's air attacks are weak; but what can be done? The superpowers do not provide us with modern defensive capabilities and do not honor the agreements, and the logistics for our important weapons, which is their responsibility, is being withheld from us.
