Comrade Lezhava
Copy to Comrade Frumkin

21/VI.

Comrade Lezhava! I request that you accelerate the meeting with Frumkin (on the question of Optorg) so that no later than tomorrow, 22/VI, the matter is brought before the Council of Labor and Defense.

Without a decision of the Council of Labor and Defense do not cancel the agreements, but only prepare everything as quickly as possible for a decision in the Council of Labor and Defense on 22/VI.

The preparation must be joint with Frumkin.

I request that you transmit this to Comrade Voikov or to that member of the collegium to whom you entrust it.

With communist greetings, Lenin
