163 Prague, 18 October 1943. 8.0 Mr Oberlandrat Dr. von W a t e r O 7 . To p0OJOD to be instructed, I present a proposal for the establishment plan of the Ministry of State (Appendix 2).As I have already said orally, the design of the budget and establishment plan is tied to the designof the planned reorganisation of the ministry.I therefore have, on the basis of the plan I have been informed that the State Ministry except for the In this context, it is important to note that, in order to ensure that the authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Federal Ministry of Education and Science are fully aware of the need to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market, it should be possible for the competent authorities to take the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the requirements of this Directive. The corrections still needed for tactical or personal reasons still have to be made.However, the experience regarding the budget of the Reich Protector has taught that it is absolutely expedient to seek the approval of an o b j e k t i v e n° establishment plan from the outset. At first, the vóm Reichsminister für Finanzen pursued tactics only to grant the necessary posts, which had led to the greatest difficulties and delays in the wishes for raising which would become necessary later on. In particular, I should like to mention the following: Where to C: In the State Ministry, nrek would only remain those departments which concern non-transferable Reich tasks (central administration, cultural policy) or which have to supervise an independent Reich administration in Bohemia and Moravia (Reichsjustiz, Reichsfinanz,Reichshochschulen,Re Reichsbahn,Rereichspost). On D I: The current activities of inspectors are likely to imply inclusion in that. II: Of the officials working in the autonomous administration, only the FuMy! The Ministry of State still has the highest level of German civil servants in each department (ministers, heads, representatives of ministers, etc.) as the direct bearer of the Reichsaufsicht, embodied by the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia. All other Reich officials in the autononen authorities would, as though further to the division of the German Minister of State, receive their posts in the so-called P budget (Annex to the Reich budget, Part P, with subdivisions corresponding to the other individual plans), but no longer belong to the Minister of the State. As far as they are active in the autonomous ministries,the ministerial allowance is lost as they no longer work in the Supreme Reich Authority.The further payment to the staff employed in the Autonomous Ministries has so far been justified by the fact that they were at the same time members of the Ministry of State. In other cases,the former recipients of ministerial allowance will only be eligible for an allowance,which they will retain in their net remuneration at their previous level,but excludes any increase in the salary, even in the case of transports, until these increases exceed the amount of the default allowance (e.g. In the case of an accident at work, the person concerned is entitled to a pension. 2 There should also be a risk that the transfer of most of the staff of the Ministry of State into the autonomous administration will reopen for them the question of the Protectorate's allowance, which is only a matter for staff members in R e c h s
