Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – March 15, 1994

I signed the marriage contract of one of the office staff. Mr. [Bijan Namdar] Zanganeh came. He gave a report on the water status of the dams and said that the recent rain in Fars has provided water for the dams. Mr. [Gholamreza] Faruzesh, [Minister of Jihad Construction] came. He complained that Ayatollah Khamenei canceled his meeting because the meat company went to the open market to secure foreign currency. Mr. [Syed Mansour] Razavi came. The applicant is an executive. I gave a radio and television interview for the moments of the year. I read the reports and did the office work.

The age of brotherhood of Muhammad came. He had suggestions for foreign policy and more economic activity of embassies. [King of Saudi Arabia] asked Iran for permission to work towards Mr. Fahd's arrival. In the meeting of the government board, the issue of emblems was left unfinished; We had a plan to give [Mr. Hossein Mahloji, Gholamreza Aghazadeh and Bijan Namdar Zanganeh], the Ministers of Mines and Metals, Petroleum and Power, a government seal for the launch of Golghar Mine, Bandar Imam Petrochemical and Panzdeh Khordad Dam, but it failed; It must have caused them dissatisfaction.

Dr. Adeli, [President of the Central Bank], announced that the negotiations with the Austrians regarding the arrears have been concluded. I told [Mr. Gholamhossein Karbaschi], the mayor of Tehran, to clean the writings on the walls as part of the city cleaning week program. I read some reports about Lorestan for tomorrow's trip. I finished all the work by 8:00 pm and came home.
