In view of the extreme danger threatening the Republic as a result of the aggravation of the food and transport crises, the C.C., R.C.P. resolves:

to charge Comrades Kamenev
      Zinoviev
      and Stalin

with organising groups of influential workers and forming trains by arrangement with the People’s Commissariats for Food and Railways as well as with the Central Executive Committee, and sending them out on food transportation jobs.[1]
