[December 1, 1920]

Recognising the necessity, in connection with the improvement of the external
and internal situation of the RSFSR, to shift the centre of gravity
of the work of the Council of Labour and Defence to a greater extent than heretofore
to the tasks of economic construction, The Council of People's Commissars
petitions the All-Russian Central Executive Committee for the legalisation of
the following measures:
a) 1. To supplement the Council of Labour and Defence with the
People's Commissar of Agriculture.
2. To instruct the Council of Labour and Defence to discuss dividing its
meetings into regular and special economic ones *.
c) 3. The scope of the
Council of Labour and Defence department shall be expanded,
to include within this scope:
1) (a) the unification of all work of the economic People's Commissariats;
2) (b) the approval
and implementation of a unified economic plan for the RSFSR;
3) (c) the direction of the work of the economic People's Commissariats
in accordance with this plan, as well as the establishment, when
necessary, of exceptions to this plan.
To instruct the subcommission to elaborate in more detail
§ 6 of its draft (in its final form), and to compose an exact
replacement.
