The Draft Decree on the Procedure To Be Followed by the Various Commissariats in Sending Their Commissars and Agents Out to the Provinces submitted by the People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs was discussed at the meeting of the CPC on April 1, 1918.

On April 5 the decree was endorsed with Lenin’s addenda and on April 11, 1918, it was published in Izvestia (see Decrees of the Soviet Government, Vol. II, Moscow, 1959, pp. 58-59).
