"In the remaining months of this year, the budget will receive 91 billion roubles in extra revenues. Apart from this, some government agencies have managed to save funds which were already allocated in some areas, such as debt management, and also through optimising work in general. In connection with this, I would ask you to draft a number of amendments to the current 2010 budget in order to resolve some urgent issues, without waiting until January."
