Abstract
The December 1973 Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee posed particularly sharply the question of strengthening the discipline of plan enforcement and improving management of the economy, especially capital construction. Experience persuasively demonstrates that, given a creative approach to the matter and a persistent introduction of the Party style of work, it is possible to achieve considerable successes in this. The journal Sovety deputatov trudiashchikhsia (1974, No. 5) already described the essence of the Orel method of paced completion of housing and urban-improvement construction projects. Recently, the CPSU Central Committee approved the positive experience accumulated in Orel, which has made possible significant improvement in the efficiency of construction. The resolution adopted recommends that it be employed as widely as possible.
