In view of the need for especially careful use of such [resources] for loading, in accordance with the resolution of the Council of Labour and Defence No. 386 of October 13, I propose for precise execution:

1) to immediately take the most energetic measures to unload military cargoes on all railway lines of the front;

2) to take all measures to ensure that military transportation within the limits of the front is carried out strictly according to the approved plans of the VSNKh, allowing for their increase only in case of military necessity and under the condition of prior agreement on this increase with the corresponding railway authorities.

The Central Committee of the RCP is proposed to submit weekly reports to the VSNKh under the Council of People's Commissars on the progress of unloading the rolling stock.
