Comrade Molotov:

I have two secretaries (Kizas and Lepeshinskaya) taking a cure and having a rest in Riga. At my request, Hanecki helped to make arrangements for them at the seaside.^[1] This has to be formalised. How? I propose a decision by the Organising Bureau: 1) either authorising Hanecki to make arrangements for a holiday in Riga (or Latvia in general) for persons sent from here by the Orgbureau, or 2) authorising Hanecki to set up one or two rest homes in Latvia, with accommodation made available through the Orgbureau, one-half to go to workers and one-half to government officials. The second is better.

What is your opinion?
