1. To issue, not later than two days from now, a printed statement on the Control Commission,{149} very detailed and solemn. To entrust this to Bukharin and Dzerzhinsky.

2. To request Dzerzhinsky and Preobrazhensky to work not less than three hours a day in the Control Commission, so as really to make it a genuine organ of Party and proletarian conscience.

3. To start immediately a “Discussion Sheet”, to pay special attention to it, and to entrust it specially to Bukharin and Preobrazhensky.

4. As a special task of the Control Commission, to recommend an attentive and individualising attitude, often even a sort of direct treatment, towards representatives of the so-called opposition who have suffered a psychological crisis because of failures in their Soviet or Party career. One must try to calm them, explain matters to them in a comradely way, find them (without the method of ordering) work suitable to their psychological characteristics, give advice and instructions on this point to the Orgburo of the Central Committee, etc.
