To Comrade Khlamov, Director of the Ural Automobile Plant Named After Stalin; to Comrade Prikhozhan, Manager of the Construction and Installation Trust of the People's Commissariat of Construction; to Comrade Patolichev, Secretary of the Chelyabinsk Regional Committee of the VKP(b).

I greet and congratulate the builders of the People's Commissariat of Construction and the workers of the Ural Automobile Plant of the People's Commissariat of Medium Machine Building on a great production victory — the launching of the new automobile plant and the beginning of the production of lorries.

In the difficult conditions of wartime, through your strenuous labor you have resolved an important defense and national-economic task and have created on the Urals a powerful plant for the production of automobiles for the Red Army and the national economy.

The Motherland will highly value your selfless work and assistance in the cause of strengthening the might of our country.

I wish you further success in mastering the production of automobiles and the further development of the plant.

I. Stalin
