The draft decree on improving railway transport in connection with
military freightages was discussed at a meeting of the C.P.C. on December
2, 1919. During this discussion Lenin introduced his motion, which was
incorporated in § 10 of the decree. With this addendum and other
amendments the decree was adopted by the C.P.C. and published in part in
Izvestia No. 281 for December 14, 1919.
