TELEPHONOGRAM TO Y. E. RUDZUTAK,

A. A. ANDREEV and V. M. MOLOTOV

+==FOR MEMBERS OF THE POLITICAL BUREAU OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE RCP(b)
To Rudzutak, Andreev, Molotov (for members of the Political Bureau)

I have started writing a draft of the theses on trade unions based on the initial outline by Rudzutak and Andreev. I have drawn up a detailed plan for 12 theses, but so far, I have only written 4, as my work is proceeding extremely slowly. I request that the matter be postponed in the Political Bureau for a few days, as I believe there is no particular need to rush and it would be preferable to discuss the issue more systematically. As soon as I complete the first draft in 3-4 days, or perhaps even earlier, I will send it to the commission members, and we will agree with them on whether a meeting on the 18th is necessary.
