It answers to the Politburo, which is usually headed by the chief of the Secretariat who usually has the title of General Secretary or First Secretary. See Secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee.

The duties carried out by the Secretariat are as varied as the problems dealt with by the United Nations.
Secretariat staff also inform the world's communications media about the work of the United Nations; organize international conferences on issues of worldwide concern; and interpret speeches and translate documents into the Organization's official languages.
The Secretariat has a staff of about 8,900 under the regular budget drawn from some 170 countries.
Secretariat won the 1973 Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes (June 9), making him the first Triple Crown winner in a quarter of a century, long enough that many racing fans had thought it would never happen again.
Secretariat's race records in the Derby and the Belmont stand to this day; his run in the Belmont is not only a race record, but the world record for a mile and a half (2.4 km) on a dirt track.
Secretariat was voted Horse of the Year, the most prestigious honor in racing, both as a two-year-old (the first horse so honored at that age) and at age three.
