10 September - Weapons are distributed among party and state apparatus should a clash with „Solidarity occur.
General Bogusław Stachura (head of the „Summer ‘80” Operation Staff):
In connection with the current development of the political and operational situation, I order to:
Select from the party apparatus, the allied parties, and - in particular - from the bar, the judiciary, administration and social organisations persons whose lives or health - in the case of an adverse development of the situation - could be endangered by hostile elements. The selection should be made on the basis of operational reconnaissance and consultations with trusted managers in the party, the state apparatus and institutions.
For persons selected, prepare short-barrelled guns and anti-assault gas sprays for handing out.
