(June 27, 1957)
Comrade Xiaoping:
The “Rectification Campaign Special Issue” of the Situation Briefing is very useful. I now request: (1) That the “Special Issue” covering the eleven days from June 15 to June 25 be immediately printed as a single volume, in several copies, and dispatched by air, train, and small courier services to the provincial and prefectural party committees; each unit should receive a dozen or so copies if they have many, or just enough for their own use if they have few, for their reference. (2) Thereafter, one issue should be printed every three days and distributed accordingly. If you agree, please proceed accordingly. Thank you!
