Comrade Kritsман, I propose that you examine within 24 hours on the merits the application from Turkryba for two excavators of the "Parsons" system and four of the "Arthur Koppel" system, and for a lathe and milling machine for the Aral repair workshops for ships.

I call your attention to the extremely important significance of the successful work of Turkryba. At the sitting of the Commission for utilization, it is necessary to invite the representative of Turkryba, Comrade Safonov.
