1) Instruct the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs to delay a break with Georgia, systematically collecting precise material on its violation of the treaty and more insistently demanding that supplies be allowed through to Armenia.

2) Ask the Caucasian Front how prepared our available military forces are in the event of an immediate or early war with Georgia, and instruct a commission consisting of Comrades Trotsky, Chicherin and Stalin to formulate this request, with an indication of Georgia’s extreme insolence.

3) Give a directive to the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic and the Caucasian Front to prepare for the eventuality of war with Georgia. Instruct the Supreme Council for Supply to submit a report to the Council of Labour and Defence in the shortest possible time on the possibility of increasing the transport of troops to the Caucasus and within the Caucasus.
