First thing in the morning, Ms. Afshar came. Two of her cold storage facilities fell under Clause "C" and were seized by the government, as their bank debt exceeded the permissible limit.
First thing in the morning, Ms. Afshar came. Two of her cold storage facilities fell under Clause "C" and were seized by the government, as their bank debt exceeded the permissible limit. Under the previous regime, she was a close friend of Moghadam, the head of SAVAK, and apparently once helped save me from prison through the mediation of Mr. Movahedi, head of Bank Pars, and now she expects help from me; but as a matter of principle, I do not do anything contrary to regulations.
Then I went to Parliament. Mr. Jalili came from Kermanshah and objected to the fact that the local ulema there want to build a new seminary, asking why they do not use the Boroujerdi Seminary, which is at his disposal.
We had a Bylaws Committee meeting. At noon, Mr. Nasrallahi, representative of Abadan, came and spoke of the shortage of ambulances and motorcycles on the Abadan front for the IRGC (Sepah). I spoke with Mr. Rafiqdoost, and it was agreed that they would be provided.
Mr. Khajevi came. He wanted more personnel for legal counsel; but so far they have not done any effective work. The expectation is that extensive and rapid measures will be taken in reforming past laws.
In the afternoon, [members] from the Islamic Association of helicopter manufacturing came and spoke of a plan under which a board of directors of non-ideological (ghayr-e maktabi) individuals is set to manage the vast company and technical aviation work, and they complained about the representative who was commissioned by the Defense Committee to investigate.
Mr. Sadeq Tabataba'i came and complained about Mr. [Mohammad] Montazeri's criticism of him in Parliament, offering responses as well; he heads a company acting as an intermediary for purchasing arms for the military (Artesh). He complained that Mr. Rajai and Mr. Khamenei had stated in the Defense Council that he had hired an Italian secretary in Europe, saying it was not true. He provided information regarding a $56 million fraud in arms purchasing.
Mr. Sadri Afshar came together with Hamid Mar'ashi. He complained that the Cultural Revolution Headquarters and Dr. Arefi were not utilizing him and his peers in translation work. Apparently, he has been accused of being a Tudeh [party member], and he also introduced his other comrades for this work.
Engineer Bazargan came and spoke of the monopolism of the ruling faction (the opposition's usual wrong claim) and asked me, "What do you want from us?" And I said, "Do not engage in obstructionism; that is enough." I have had three long meetings with him; nothing important was achieved.
The Palestinian ambassador came and warned about the Israeli and Kataeb [Phalangist] offensive, asking for political assistance, and was not without complaint that we do not allow volunteers to go to Palestine due to the war.
The Libyan ambassador came, spoke of the results of Qaddafi's trip to Moscow, sought greater cooperation, requested C-130 aircraft, and spoke about retaining Iyad Thabit, who is scheduled to be expelled.
