FOR MEMBERS OF THE POLITBURO OF THE CC RCP(b)

17/VI.

Comrade Molotov!

I have just come to an agreement with Bogdanov on the following decision of the Politburo:

To leave Sapronov as deputy chairman of the VSNKh, instructing the chairman of the VSNKh to find another person from among the construction workers for the position of chairman of the Komgosspor.

Sapronov will not object, according to Bogdanov's words.

I am entirely in favour of such a decision (in place of the one adopted).

I request that you poll the members of the Politburo by telephone or in writing regarding decision 414.

Lenin
