Comrade Krzhizhanovsky,

The Concession Committee of Gosplan is charged with the duty of collecting and centralising detailed materials on all concession negotiations and concession affairs of the RSFSR with foreign capitalists, conducted both in Russia and abroad. It is necessary to collect materials also for the past period.

The Concession Committee must keep an exact registration list of these materials, with the following subdivisions:

a) concluded contracts;
b) serious negotiations, from which contracts may be concluded in the near future;
c) broken-off negotiations (indicating the reason);
d) all other negotiations.

The list must contain brief indications of the content of each matter (approximately: state of negotiations, object of the concession, name of the concession applicants, approximate or exact amount of capital, number under which the matter is filed).

A copy of this list is to be sent to the Administrative Department of the Council of Labour and Defence (STO) and supplemented monthly with new information.

The Concession Committee must appoint a person responsible for the collection of material and compilation of the list (administrative secretary, secretary), whose surname must be urgently communicated* to the Administrative Department of the STO*.
