To Molotov, Enukidze, Kalinin

On the question of the distribution of literature (reports, State Planning Commission documents, etc.) at the Congress of Soviets, I propose to implement (both through the Politburo and through the Presidium of the All-Union Central Executive Committee):

distribute all materials at 3 copies per district with the subscription of all delegates from the given district, who undertake (under criminal liability) to submit all 3 copies to the local library within 1-1½ months.

(It is sometimes possible to issue 2, sometimes 4 copies per district 163.)
