1. Appoint, in agreement with the People’s Commissariat for Health, one or two doctors to periodically examine Sokolnikov, Tsyurupa and other comrades who have returned from treatment, instructing them to give a written opinion on the necessary regimen. Make this doctor personally responsible. Oblige him to submit a brief report to the C.C. Secretariat or, if the C.C. Secretariat agrees, to the C.C. Secretariat of the Council of People’s Commissars.

2. Make a definite person responsible for seeing that Sokolnikov observes the regimen.

3. Oblige Tsyurupa to spend three days a week (Saturday, Sunday and Monday) at his brother G. D. Tsyurupa’s place in Kashira, under his supervision, with a view to complete rest and good feeding.

4. Oblige Tsyurupa to reduce the volume of his work, in particular, to free himself almost entirely from work on commissions, concentrating his activity on supervising the practical implementation of some of the most important decisions of the Council of People’s Commissars and the Council of Labour and Defence.

5. Oblige Tsyurupa to fix the general time-limit for sittings of the Council of People’s Commissars and the Council of Labour and Defence at not more than three hours. 196
