Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 22, 1986

I stayed in the public meeting until half past ten in the morning. In my office, I dealt with the current affairs of the war. Mr. Amrullahi [head of the Atomic Energy Organization] came and announced that in the negotiations with France, they have reduced their claim for compensation regarding the cancellation of the Darkhovin power plant contract. He complained about the interference of the municipality regarding atomic energy works in Ahvaz.

Mr. [Ahmed] Vahidi [Deputy Intelligence of the IRGC] came. The release of one of the American hostages in Lebanon was negotiated. We do not have serious influence on the hostage takers. they

They have raised obstacles and it seems that they will delay.

Mr. [Abd al-Mohammed] Raofi, the commander of the Wali army, came to Khuzestan in the evening and had some support from the province for the herd army. We decided to help. It seems that the resources of the province are spent on war through other channels and other provinces focus more on their respective armies. Usually, each province supports its respective army units with people's aid.

Aligoders representative came at noon. He wanted a car and bodyguard. Rohani Dehdasht came. He complained that some officials of the region oppose him because he is an imitator of Mr. [Sidabul Qasem] Khoi.

In the evening, I participated in the High Council of Cultural Transfer The statutes of Tarbiat Modares University were discussed and Mr. [Mohsen] Qaraati and [Gholam Ali] Haddad Adel came to discuss the religious books of schools and universities.

Mr. Karaati complained bitterly about the available books. He thinks that people such as the community of teachers [Qom Theological Seminary] can write these books. Mr. [Gholamali] Haddad Adel and Dr. [Ali] Ahmadi gave good answers. The president of Tarbiat Moalem University was also appointed. I stayed the night in the parliament.
