Ht Der Deutsche Staatsuinister. 3. Märn 1944. (p.d.) St.M. 114 a/43/44. Y . -4. 1I1. 1944 Reichninieter and head of the Reich Chancellery Dr.Lammers, Feldquartier. Very venerable Mr Reicheminister : The negotiations with the representatives of Reichafinanzmini- steriuma, who found atettt in the time of 29.2. bie to the 2.3.l944, have led to a reduction of the two claims. The representatives of the Reichsfinanzministerium Veratündnis for my research on the application of the B 6 - Steliem for all the departments of my ministrya have shown, so that I expect my application to be made in this direction. Only precautionarily do I notice that the uniform classification of all department heads and thus the equivalence of all departments according to the autonomous ministries facing them, as already expressed in the structure of the German State Amini- stration for Bohemia and Moravia, is justified by an urgent political need, but at the same time also by its considerable importance. A final clarification, however, could not be found as regards the title of office for the departments.
