to charge Comrades Kamenev
Zinoviev
and Stalin
with organising groups of influential workers and forming trains by arrangement with the People’s Commissariats for Food and Railways as well as with the Central Executive Committee, and sending them out on food transportation jobs.[1]
Lenin

Lenin’s draft was adopted by the C.C. of the R.C.P.(B.); it was signed also by C. C. members L. B. Kamenev, G. Y. Zinoviev, J. V. Stalin, Y. D. Stasova, N. N Krestinsky, M. F. Vladimirsky, N. I. Bukharin, V. V. Schmidt and F E. Dzerzhinsky.
