FOR THE POLITBURO OF THE CC RCP(b)

28/X.

Comrade Mikhailov, I request that this be submitted through the Politburo. Confidential.

The matter concerns a sum of 500-1000 million Swedish crowns.

I have appointed a preliminary commission (Lomonosov, Radchenko, Litvinov) and on the basis of its favorable conclusion I request approval.

We shall also add Sheinman (People's Commissariat of Finance), but without the obligation to travel*.
