At the meeting of the OC on April 24, 1905, I forgot to submit a proposal for inviting Comrade Arnatsky (NB — his actual surname) to the congress with consultative voice, a member of the Kazan Committee{47}. I request that the commission consider this proposal.

Comrade Arnatsky is abroad, in France, and has expressed to me his agreement to come to the congress at his own expense. He is leaving for Russia very soon and would be able to quickly report to his committee about the congress. Despite all efforts, the Organizational Committee has been unable to obtain a response from the Kazan Committee. There is now almost no hope of the Kazan Committee's participation in the congress. Our attempts from here to get in touch with Kazan through foreign channels have also failed — our letters received no reply. Arnatsky too has failed to establish contact with Kazan from here. Should we not, given the impossibility of having a delegate from the Kazan Committee at the congress, invite Comrade Arnatsky with consultative voice as a member of the committee?
