V. I. Lenin

Comrades!In reply to your inquiry as to whether or not we
are willing to have our names published in the minutes of the Second
Congress we inform you that, for our part, we have absolutely no objection
to it, but cannot undertake to decide to what extent this is permissible
for reasons of security in the interests of our comrades in Russia. It is up to the
competent Party body to decide on this question of secrecy.

Geneva, October 4, 1903
