The German Ministry of State for Bohemia and Moravia, whose structure I have carried out with the decree of 4 May 19943 which you know, requires an independent budget, in which my other business area is to be included according to more detailed proposals. I have therefore contacted the Minister of Finance and hope that the negotiations with the much-desired acceleration will lead to a satisfactory result. Mr Krosigk, as well as the withdrawal of a note on the relevant questions, I would like to make the request for preliminary information. If, contrary to expectations, difficulties arise, I can assume, on the basis of your kind commitment at the time, that you, very honourable Minister of the Reich, will support my proposals in an appropriate way.
