Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 12, 1987

I read the reports in my office until half past seven. The conference of Arab leaders in Amman condemned Iran regarding the continuation of the war and the occupation of Iraq's lands and the firing of missiles at Kuwait and the Hajj issues, and allowed the Arab governments to establish relations with Egypt individually, and Libya called and condemned the resolution as American.

MPs are angry with Syria for signing the statement. I was in the meeting until half past ten.

The review of the labor law was completed in the second half of the year, but it is believed that the Guardian Council will find many objections. In breathing, I spoke for a group of female students from Khorasan who came to the parliament.

I went to the meeting of the Supreme War Support Council. It was agreed about a letter to the Imam to equip facilities for the war in order to get his signature and compensate for their silence.

In the afternoon, Mr. Seyed Hossein Mousavian came to get my opinion about the administrative and construction affairs of the parliament. Mr. [Mohammed Ali] Ansari informed that the imam has agreed with the content of the letter given by the president and Mr. Khamenei and I had agreed on the wording of the letter over the phone.

In the evening, Mr. Sanjaghi and Kangerlo came for war affairs and relations with France. The Minister of Jihad Construction came for the affairs of missile and fisheries and the needs of Jihad. They came for an interview from Omid Elkhebal magazine.

I negotiated and consulted with Beit Imam regarding the Imam's answer to the letter of the Supreme War Support Council and with Mr. Khamenei about the Council's statement after the Imam's answer. I reached home at half past eight.
