- ↑ This document is part of a decision of the CPC adopted on October 26, 1920, following a discussion of the question of establishing contacts between the economic commissariats.
This question was raised in April 1920 at the Ninth Congress of the RCP(b), whose corresponding resolution read: “The Congress directs the CC to devise in the immediate future a system of organisational connections between the Supreme Economic Council and other commissariats directly engaged in economic affairs (the commissariats for food, railways, and agriculture) in their everyday work with the aim of securing complete unity in the fulfilment of the economic plan approved by the Congress of the Party” (The CPSU in Resolutions and Decisions of Congresses, Conferences and Plenary Meetings of the Central Committee, Part 1, 1954, p. 490). In pursuance of the congress decision, Lenin, at the meeting of the Council of People’s Commissars on October 26, 1920, made a report “On Unifying the Work of the Economic Commissariats in Framing an Integrated Economic Plan” and tabled his draft resolution. - ↑ This trio was appointed by the Council of People’s Commissars on October 26, 1920, to collect information regarding the interdepartmental commissions.
