Copy: To the Book Chamber

I propose that you instruct the Book Chamber to carry out, by way of experiment, the following work:

1) From the most important newspapers (Izvestia of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee, Pravda, Economic Life, Petrograd Pravda) and

SUPPLEMENTS

of the central regional newspapers—Ukrainian, Caucasian, Siberian, Urals, etc. (altogether, including the central ones, not more than ten newspapers)—make clippings for the month of May of all materials dealing with economic, economic-management and production questions, including also all reports and statistical materials, classify them in detail and paste them into albums; from such albums compile four parallel sets.

2) Compile a most detailed systematic and alphabetical index to the monthly set of the said newspapers, which would cover all the materials appearing in the newspaper, including advertisements.

For the said work fix piece-work rates and, provided it is well done to the satisfaction of the Council of People’s Commissars, award a bonus, with partial payment in kind, in agreement with the Bonus Department of the All-Russia Central Council of Trade Unions.

Send me a report on the fulfilment through the Business Manager of the Council of People’s Commissars, Comrade Gorbunov.

Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars,
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
