Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – December 5, 1984

I was studying in my office until nine o'clock in the morning. The person in charge of motor pool [= vehicle affairs] came to the parliament. He told his needs and problems. He wanted to receive information about overtime, spare parts, setting up a repair shop, and punishing and encouraging drivers [Majlis service provider]. Mr. Ahmed Beheshti [representative of FASA] came; He said about Fasa's problems and incompatibility with Imam Juma Fasa.

We had a meeting of representatives of Tehran. There was a discussion about the pastures, and the representatives and officials of Tehran discussed about the boundaries of the pastures. The representatives talked more about the extremism of forestry in terms of restricting ranchers and farmers. They said, we have 90 million hectares of pasture which only produces 10 million tons of fodder; They were worried about the destruction of pastures.

At noon, Mr. [Hasan] Rouhani came and gave a report on the construction of boats and bridges and the progress of the war. In the evening, the presiding committee of the parliament had a meeting. At night, the heads of the forces in the parliament were my guests. Part of the discussion was about the quality of dealing with hijackers. They want the freedom of Muslim mujahid prisoners of Kuwait, and to take revenge on the Kuwaiti government for their cooperation with Iraq, they have brought the hijacked Iranian plane to Iraq. Then we discussed the distribution and employment of Towab prisoners and other issues. At night, I stayed in the parliament. I watched a movie.
