To all members of the Politbureau, for signature

I think the request should be granted and a decision taken that either the Commander-in-Chief should be called   in personally, or the draft directives sent to him for his urgent opinion. The Commander-in-Chief to be informed about this in writing.

Lenin

Notes

[1] Written on a report from Commander-in-Chief S. S. Kamenev asking that drafts of governmental directives on operational matters should first be submitted for consideration to the Supreme Command. The document bears the following notes: “I agree. Only notice should be given not in the name of the Central Committee, but in the name of the Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic. = N. Krestinsky, L. Kamenev.” = “I agree with the request of the Commander-in-Chief. M.  Kalinin.”
