I propose that the Politburo discuss this plan 132 and appoint a small commission for its preliminary development, say:

Radek

Trotsky

+ ?

Perhaps it would be better to start with just two. They will involve in the work both Steklov and Béla Kun (and many others), will summon to Moscow the candidate for the position of head of the bureau, and then will determine the budget and submit the entire plan to the Politburo in developed form.
