TO MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF LABOUR AND DEFENCE PERSONALLY FROM COMRADE LENIN.
February 17, 1921.
In submitting tomorrow (February 18) to the Council of Labour and Defence a draft decision on a General Planning Commission, I propose for your information the draft of the main clause of the decision and a preliminary list of members (drawn up after a conference with Comrade Rykov and Comrade Krzhizhanovsky). Please prepare amendments or a counter-draft for the Council of Labour and Defence meeting of February 18.
A General Planning Commission shall be set up under the Council of Labour and Defence for the purpose of drawing up a single state economic plan on the basis of the electrification plan approved by the Eighth All-Russia Congress of Soviets, and for the general supervision of the implementation of this plan.
The economic tasks of the first priority, and particularly those which are to be carried out in the immediate future, specifically during 1921, must be worked out by the General Planning Commission or its sub-commission in the greatest detail, with full account taken of the existing conditions of concrete economic reality.
