Endorsement of the Report on Arranging the Work of Suppressing Counterrevolutionaries
(April 17, 1951)

To all central bureaus, and forward to sub-bureaus, provincial party committees, district party committees, party committees of large and medium-sized cities, and prefectural party committees:

The experience of the Su County Prefectural Committee in northern Anhui in using peasant representative conferences to arrange the work of suppressing counterrevolutionaries, to review the work of suppressing counterrevolutionaries, and to examine basic-level cadres and Party and Youth League members—all new areas should proceed in accordance with this, breaking down closed-doorism and mysticism.
