I cannot provide exact information now. Within the shortest possible time (48 hours) I can provide a detailed report.

I can say even now: there are omissions, but I must add: just today I gave my consent to such an organizational structure (a troika of representatives from the Supreme Council of the National Economy, the Commissariat of Agriculture, and the Commissariat of Food Supply), which will exclude the possibility of omissions previously allowed. I would consider it best not to decide the question of an audit now, postponing it until I present my report.

To Tsyurupa

×To whom?

××Already appointed?

Of whom? When? By whom?

Why not appoint this troika here immediately?
