Comrade Kolegaev, The materials of the agricultural and urban census of 1917, according to a statement from the Supreme Council of the National Economy, are located in the census department at the Commissariat of Agriculture. A report on these materials is necessary in the Council of People's Commissars.

Could you not come to the Council of People's Commissars today? I would very much ask you to come and answer precisely whether you will.
