To Kaganovich.

As is evident from the materials, not only the Ukrainians but also the North Caucasus, the Middle Volga, Western Siberia, Kazakhstan, and Bashkiria will be talking to the CC about reducing the grain procurement plan. I advise satisfying only the Ukrainians for now, reducing their plan by 30 million and in an extreme case by 35-40 million. As for the rest, postpone the conversation with them to the very end of August.
