Comrade Zaks,

I request that you urgently give an order to your subordinate Perm organ (Perm Rayonneft), which is in charge of the distribution and sale of petroleum products in the area, to release to the American expedition working at the Toikino state farm the required quantity of petrol and lubricating oils on the most favourable terms.

Send a copy of the order to Comrade Smolyaninov.
