SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT

he report analyzes the course of the

restructuring in Party organ-

izations, and emphasizes that the
Party committees and all Party cadres
should learn to work in conditions of
deeper democracy and growing political
and labour activity of the working
people. The report specially considers
the question of restructuring the work of
city and district committees of the Party
and primary Party organizations. This is
precisely the main arena of the drive for
the implementation of the decisions of
the 27th Congress of the CPSU.

An immense responsibility in this
work rests with the economic person-
nel of enterprises, amalgamations, and
managerial personnel. The transition
from management by decree to eco-
nomic methods of management, the
expansion of the independence of
enterprises and amalgamations, and the
new approach to foreign trade activities
put personnel in fundamentally new
conditions. It is of importance to teach
economic executives and specialists to
use to the full their rights and resources.
The increased orientation of the activ-
ity of personnel towards the social
sphere acquires fundamental
importance.

It is necessary to bring about reor- -
ganization of the work of ministries and
departments as soon as possible, to
help them cast off petty tutelage and
interference in the day-to-day activities
of amalgamations and enterprises, and
to focus attention on matters concern-
ing scientific and technological prog-
ress, the refinement of the economic

term matters of the development of sec-

bodies have been singled out in view of
the current radical reform of economic
management.

he role of the Soviets of People’s

Deputies should be raised in prac-

tice and their responsibility for ac-
celeration of socio-economic develop-
ment and every-day services to the
population should be enhanced. Trade
union personnel should take a more ac-
tive attitude towards the solution of
industrial and social matters. The initia-
tive of Komsomol organizations should
be developed in every way.

It is important to strengthen ideolog-
ical sectors with highly qualified and
trained personnel, who fully feel the
pulse of the times and have a deep
understanding of the essence of the
tasks assigned, and who are capable of
effectively propagating the Party’s pol-
icy, of convincing and organizing
people.

The further strengthening of socialist
legality and of law and order in the
country assigns responsible new tasks
to the personnel of law enforcement
agencies. They should persistently
learn to work in the conditions of
broader democracy and openness, rely-
ing on the trust and support of the
whole people.

The report points out that new de-
mands are being placed on the person-
nel of departments dealing with foreign
policy in the energetic international ac-
tivities of the CPSU and the Soviet
State.

the responsible mission of defending

people, is a major concern of ours.

It is emphasized in conclusion that an
important role belongs to the new year
1987 — the year of the 70th anniversary
of the Great October Socialist Revolu-
tion — in the realization of the Party’s
strategic course towards acceleration.
It is essential not only to consolidate
and develop what has been achieved in
the first year of the five-year plan
period, but also to include long-term
factors of growth more fully and to
make positive changes irreversible.

The Political Bureau proceeds from
the assumption that the plenary meet-
ing of the CPSU Central Committee is
to formulate the main guidelines for the
renovation of our personnel policy and
to determine the main tasks of this work
in the conditions of reorganization.

Further democratiza-
tion of society has great
implications for the
- Communist Party. Party
functionaries will have
to learn to work more
openly and in condi-
tions of what Mikhail
Gorbachev called
deeper democracy and
growing political and
labor activity by the
working people.
