To Kaganovich, Molotov.

We are entirely in favor of Andreyev's candidacy, since he knows transport, transport workers, and is more suited to the job than others. We think the final decision on the matter should be taken in the presence of Rukhimovich, who will have to be recalled from his trip. It would be good to make Blagonravov one of Andreyev's deputies, releasing him entirely from work at the TOGPU (Transport Department of the OGPU -- Ed.).
