Comrade Gorbunov:

1) The pamphlet must be returned to the author (after noting its title and the author’s place of work). 308

2) Try to find out in which libraries this book is available.

3) Write to Engineer N. S. Vetchinkin, asking whether he could contribute an article to *Economic Life* or *Izvestia* on this question.

Write a small pamphlet, adding conclusions from the new (1914–1921) foreign literature.

4) Propose to the Presidium of the Supreme Economic Council to establish:
(a) a correct inventory of the road-building machines we have, in agreement with the War Department; (b) persons responsible for the inventory and utilisation of these machines (probably these responsible persons should be in the Committee for State Structures?); (c) discuss whether it would not be advisable to put at least a small number of tractors to this work and to carry it on systematically.

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