Comrade Gorbunov:

This business of a draft CPC decision on collective supply (of food to enterprises) in connection with the closure of inessential establishments and concentration of production at the major enterprises has been pickled.

Larin and Holtzmann (All-Russia Central T.U.C.) tabled the draft in the Politbureau. On 10/V, the Politbureau resolved: redraft and introduce in the CPC[1]

There was also a resolution by the trade union congress.[2]

Yet, it’s been pickled!

Phone Larin and,the All-Russia Central T.U.C., take the text of the Politbureau resolution of 10/V, and speed up the business to the utmost. I fear that it has been hushed up because of the change of the All-Russia Central T.U.C.

It must be moved forward at a faster rate.

Be sure to phone me the results of your efforts and reconnoiterings tomorrow, Monday, 13/VI.

Greetings,

Lenin
