I went to the parliament first. I stayed in the meeting until nine o'clock in the morning and then I came to my office. Speeches before the order of the representatives regarding the elections and line disputes have intensified. Mr. [Mohammed Ali[Hadi] and] Hossein [Mahlouji came to the Security Council to advise on the continuation of Mr.] Mohammad Javad [Larijani's mission. Mr.] Ismail [Sahmi] Hesari], the representative of Torbat Heydarieh, came to complain about the replacement of the governor of this city. He has many criticisms and wants to resign as a protest. I advised him not to resign. He expects me to press for the return of the governor.

Mr. Morteza Fahim Kermani came. He reported his arrest and trial in the special clerical court. Dissatisfied with the procedure. Mr. Ali Akbar [Speaker] Nouri] asked them to take action to end the issue of accusations. He did not expect to be arrested and wants to resign as the head of the Article 90 Commission.

In the afternoon, Mrs. [Maryam [Behrouzi], the representative of Tehran, [came and consulted about the topics she wants to discuss in the upcoming World Congress] between the assemblies. I did my office work.

In the evening, Mr. Sanjaghi came and told the time of the upcoming operation and set the travel time. Mr. [Syed Mansour [Razavi] head of the administrative and employment affairs organization of the country] came. He asked me to participate in the administrative and employment affairs seminar.

I went to Ayatollah Khamenei's office at seven o'clock in the evening for the meeting of the Assembly of State Interests. In this meeting, we completed the bylaws of the assembly to be sent to the imam for signature. The Guardian Council is unhappy with the limited decision-making power. I said that this situation has arisen as a result of excessive rejection of the parliament's approvals in a way that created a deadlock. I arrived home late. it is raining
