Lenin’s draft was incorporated completely in the decision of the CPC passed on February 15, 1921, in connection with the report of the Import Plan Revision Commission (points "2" and "3")

1) The CPC does not endorse the plan of imports submitted to it, as this plan is exaggerated at least fivefold.[1]

2) The CPC directs the Council of Labour and Defence immediately to set up a General Planning Commission with the participation of experts and charge it (or its subcommission) with cutting down this plan and revising it with an eye to the practical use to which the purchases can be put under our present economic conditions. Final approval of the plan by the CLD

3) Pending revision of this plan the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Trade must restrict itself to one-fifth of this plan on each of the 71 main orders; to one-tenth in the case of the military department; with the indispensable condition that priority be given to the requirements of the fuel extracting and metallurgical industries. Exceptions with the permission of the CLD
