To Comrades Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping on the Three Draft Comments for Review Forwarding Reports from the Guangdong, Jilin, and Guizhou Provincial Party Committees

(March 4, 1960)

Comrades Shaoqi and Xiaoping:

Please review these three documents, and please bring them up for discussion and approval at the Central Committee meeting. If there are differing opinions, please make revisions. Before March 10, deliver them into the hands of the First Secretaries of the provincial, municipal, and regional Party committees, using aircraft for distant destinations.

Enlai, Fuchun, Kangsheng, the ministers of the central authorities studying economics in Guangzhou, and the five First Secretaries from the five provinces of the Central-South region studying economics here—a total of [blank] persons—held a meeting yesterday, and everyone agreed that these three documents should be issued.
