To the Chief of the Central Fuel Administration
Comrade Smilga
Copy to Glavbum

Despite my urgent telegram of December 2, No. 1160, and the assurances of Deputy Chief of the Central Fuel Administration Comrade Trifonov in telegram No. 15062 of December 3, that "all measures concerning the Kondrovo Factory have been taken and railway allocations to the factory will be fully met" — according to Glavbum — the Kondrovo Factory stopped on December 8, from midday, due to lack of fuel.

I propose that urgent emergency measures be taken immediately to supply fuel to the said factory and to clarify who is responsible for the non-fulfillment of my order of December 2 and for providing me with inaccurate information.
Send me a written report on the execution.
Chairman of the Council of Labor and Defense V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
