Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – May 22, 1990

I had breakfast with Hajiya Waldeh and the nurses-Fateme and Siddique-. I told Yasser and Mehdi to deliver them and I went to my office. In the reports, the unity of North and South Yemen and the attempt to form a [conference] of Arab leaders in Baghdad, which is facing the opposition of Syria, draws attention.

Mr. [Hamid] Mirzadeh, [Executive Vice President], came for reconstruction and running affairs and complained about the non-cooperation of banks and ministers with him. The seven-member delegations came and gave a work report. I spoke and encouraged them. Land documents were given to a group of farmers.

Mr. [Mohammed Ali] Sadoqi, [representative of the religious jurist and Friday imam of Yazd] came to Yazd and expressed concern about the process of the parliament and thanked him for activating the factories and approving the transfer of water from Isfahan to Yazd. In the evening, the Cultural Revolution Council had a meeting. Most of the time was taken up by the differences between the leadership representatives in the universities and the Office of Tahkim Vahdat and Academic Jihad. It was decided to prevent interference of duties by regulating their statutes.

In the evening, the Expediency Council had a meeting. Article 61 of the Labor Law was amended; It is going well. I was very tired. I stayed in my office at night. Yasser also came. Efat called from Mashhad; He is satisfied with the condition of his trip.
