TO THE CPSU CENTRAL COMMITTEE

There is a group of Korean officials in Moscow who have arrived to study the experience of professional education in the Soviet Union in accordance with the 4 June 1954 USSR Council of Ministers decision. The Main Directorate for Manpower Reserves under the USSR Council of Ministers is working with the group.

This group includes Cde. Pak Sin-heup [sic], inspector for questions of professional education of the Korean Worker's Party CC, who has addressed a request to be received in the appropriate CPSU CC department for a conversation about issues of manpower reserves.

We consider it possible to charge the CPSU CC Department for Trade, Finance, and Planning Organizations with receiving Cde. Pak Sin-heup for a conversation about issues of interest to him.

Cde. Kislin agrees with this proposal.
