Proposals for the Distribution of Functions Between the Deputy Chairmen of the C.P.C. and the C.L.D. [1]

Distribution of functions between the Deputy Chairmen:

1. One deputy takes the C.L.D. , the other two the
C.P.C. monthly.

2. They divide the People’s Commissariats between them according (or
similar) to the spring list of 1922.

3. Work already started (for example, the trusts—the Trust
Commission; account of expenditure on heavy industry) is to be continued by
Comrade Kamenev.

4. Each deputy chairman undertakes a check of staffs;—a certain part
weekly or fortnightly (to be calculated and scheduled in such a way that
each check is devoted in turn to one or another People’s
Commissariat;—now top, now bottom;—that each check is documented by a detailed statement in
writing; those parts of the unchecked commissariats which do not carry out
similar reductions and improvements ordered for other commissariats shall
incur a penalty, including arrest and dismissal).
