TELEPHONE MESSAGE TO YU. V. LOMONOSOV

Comrade Lomonosov
Copies to: State Planning Commission, Transport Section, Professor Ramzin, People’s Commissariat of Railways, Comrade Fomin

Please come to an agreement with the State Planning Commission, the People’s Commissariat of Railways and the Heat Engineering Institute on the terms for the diesel locomotive competition, taking into account the decision of the Council of Labour and Defence of January 4, 1922. It is extremely desirable not to miss the opportunity of using sums that may become available in the course of executing orders for steam-locomotives, in order to obtain diesel locomotives, which are far more suitable for us.

Please inform me personally without delay of the results of the agreement reached between you. 244

January 27, 1922. Lenin
