Comrade Molotov!

I propose we try to hold a written vote:

In my opinion: 1) suggest developing for print the ideas in the first part of the letter; 2) think over a plan for a “commission on foreign policy” and establish it under the chairmanship of Joffe, but more modestly; 3) appoint as a member of the Presidium of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee; 4) send to Turkestan before Sokolnikov.
