• c) to apply at other construction projects of the Ministry the experience with the operating control of the quality of the construction-erection work;

• d) with a view to increasing the power effectiveness of the Plyavin'sk hydroelectric plant and of all the plants being constructed on the Lower Daugav, to ensure the required financing contemplated under the Five-Year Plan for the period 1971–1975, and to expand the Kegumsk hydroelectric plant, in order to speed up the introduction of highly effective additional capacity;
