1E) 31 St.M. IV D - 142 c/44. Prague, 8 November 1944. 1000 KR-FS: To Mr. Reichsminister und Chef der Reichskanzlei Dr.Lammers, Berlin W8, Voßstraße 6. Dear Mr. Imperial Minister! On 30.ll.d.Js. the day on which President Dr.Hácha was elected President is the sixth anniversary. In order to underline the fact that Dr. Hácha and his government are the only legal representatives of the Czech people, I think it would be appropriate for the leader to send a telegram to the 30.ll.an Hákha. For this telegram I propose the following text: "Mr. President! The return of the day on which you were elected President of the State in 1938 led me to commemorate your work with the best wishes for your health and for the continued happiness of your work. Your presidency owes the Czech people, in the decisive years of the struggle for the new birth of Europe, to a substantial part of its existence." I would be grateful if you would inform me if the telegram would be given its place. FRK . hE b 2.M. 0GU Rich lecale Th Ir.Stootsmit AR
