Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – October 2, 1991

Mr. [Syed Ali] Ghayuri, [representative of Wali Faqih in the Red Crescent] came. He gave a report on their contributions to the construction of schools and asked for help to complete the schools in the areas of Zemezzadeh, which I accepted. Red Crescent managers came. Dr. [Sifullah] Vahid [Dastjardi], head of the Red Crescent Organization, reported. I also spoke and encouraged them.

[Executive Vice President] Mr. [Hamid] Mirzadeh came. He said about the reconstruction and establishment of single units in Mahan Kerman and the islands of Kish, Hondurabi and Farur. The head of Shahid Beheshti School of Dentistry came. He complained about the replacement of Dr. [Ferydoun] Azizi and condemned the movements of radical students in opposition to Dr. [Syed Mahmoud] Tabatabai, [President of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences] and consulted on the issue. I said that for now Tabatabai should stay until we deal with it later.

A group of representatives of the war-torn areas came and told the problems of the people of these areas related to the reconstruction and the problems of the war immigrants, and in front of Mr. Mirzadeh, he said about the successes of the reconstruction; I promised more speed. Mr. [Syed Hossein] Marashi, the governor of Kerman, came and gave a report about the delegation's trip to Bardsir; He is satisfied with the result.

In the evening, I attended the meeting of the government. We checked the regulations for the use of government cars. It was also emphasized on expediting the transfer of the purchased grains to the warehouses to protect them from the rain. I worked in my office until eight o'clock at night. I came home; No one was at home. I ate and slept.
