His handwritten answer, written in blue ink over the text of the telephonegram reads: "To Comrad Tsibin - Why do you want to discuss the documents? My opinion - technical documents musn't be approved in the Head Department because it will be very difficult to put them together. The main thing - it is to petty. I am offering you to think on the subject. To start with (97), let the precise work go on. Think carefully about it, Yours, Sergey Korolev". Bureaucracy is the same the world over, In the East or in the West. It is amazing anything ever got done and the Space Race ever got any place. A great document.
