Comrade Kursky:
Prepare its draft together with the State Political Administration.[1]
28/II. Lenin
The legislating must be done with triple circumspection. Look before you leap! I very much doubt concerning Yakhontov. Make a personal check twice, three times and many more times.
Comrade Gorbunov:
Have a copy made of my note and send it on to Kursky.
[1] A reference to the draft directive of the R.C.P.(B.) Central Committee on the working out of a draft All-Russia C.E.C. decision on the People’s Commissariat for Workers’ and Peasants’ inspection. See this volume, Document 629.
