appointed heads of the Department of Industrial Infrastructures
and executive officials of its subdivisions. Clarifying the aim and
expediency of the appointments, A.Haroutyunyan emphasized that the
Executive anticipates serious improvements especially in the energetic
system. During the past two years appreciable progress was recorded
in this sphere, however, these achievements are not satisfying and
there are still many tasks to be carried out,- the Prime Minister
noted. He demanded from the Executives of the sphere to implement
necessary structural and organizational improvements within short
time-limits, to pass to modern methods of the system management. "I
will personally control the improvements implemented in the system",-

was instructed by the Prime Minister to continue improvements also
in the spheres of transport and communication service, where changes
for the better were recorded as well, however, development rates are
not sufficient.

successful implementation of the working and the anticipated new
programmes.
