TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO F. E. DZERZHINSKY

Secret

Comrade Dzerzhinsky,

I have received your note setting forth the two schemes.¹¹³ I fully agree with you that we must uphold the scheme of the People's Commissariat for Railways which retains the post and independence of the Chief Director. I have been informed that Rudzutak is arriving about August 15; his arrival should be hastened. Drop me a line to say whether you are satisfied with the present Chief Director of Railways and what other candidates you have in reserve for this post.
