1. Recruit manpower in an organised way, by means of contracts with the collective farms, and mechanise labour
2. Put an end to labour mobility, do away with wage equalisation, organise the payment of wages properly, and improve the living conditions of workers
3. Put an end to the lack of personal responsibility at work, improve the organisation of work, arrange the proper distribution of forces in our enterprises
4. See to it that the working class of the USSR has its own industrial and technical intelligentsia
5. Change our attitudes towards the engineers and technicians of the old school, show them greater attention and solicitude, and enlist their cooperation in work more bravely
6. Introduce and reinforce financial accountability and increase the accumulation of resources within industry.
