G. M.:

I have had a call from Kritsman.

I enclose his notes and mine on his plan.

Please read them and return with a couple of words of comment.

I am worried (especially) about two aspects of the matter:

(1) Is it possible to transfer the Commission for Utilisation to the State Planning Commission otherwise than as a
w ho /e?

if not, is it possible to reduce its staffs in transferring
it as a whole?

(2) shall we not in fact leave the People’s Commissariats without control if the Commission for Utilisation is
transferred to the State Planning Commission?

( what are the measures against this? what are the guarantees against this? This backing by the
departments of the plan to transfer the Commission for
Utilisation to the State Planning Commission, is it perhaps self-seeking in the worst sense?)

One other thing: is it possible not to combine (in one way or another) the distribution of foodstuffs with the
distribution of bank-notes? [1]
