PROPOSAL TO THE POLITBURO OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE RCP(b)
To Comrade Molotov, for the Consideration of All Members of the Politburo
I believe that “The Non-Party Member” in today’s issue of Pravda is developing a perfectly
correct and timely plan 160.
I propose the establishment of a commission to immediately elaborate and swiftly implement this plan, with the following approximate composition: Molotov (with the right to be replaced by any other comrade appointed by the Secretariat of the Central Committee or the Organizational Bureau), followed by Yakovenko, Teodorovich, and that very “Non-Party Member.”
