To Kaganovich.

I have learned that the Foreign Trade Commissariat is violating the CC decision on import quotas for Chelyabstroy. If this is true, it is criminal, because without completing the first stage of Chelyabstroy on schedule we will let down the country and agriculture. Please summon Ilyichev and Boev, clarify the situation, and fully satisfy Chelyabstroy's requirements.
