After the procurement of the funds has been clarified, Minister Kal Fus also raised the matter in the Council of Ministers. In order to put the action of the publishing house "Volk und Reich" on the widest possible basis, the Council of Ministers Bureau has taken over the lead according to the wishes of the Secretary of State. He had agreed with the Protectorate's side that the protectorate government would now conclude a contract with the publishing house "Volk und Reich" in which it committed itself to the acceptance of the publications of the Ver= lages. The necessary funds for this will be made available in the current accounting years out of schedule= on a moderate basis and from 1 January 1994l in the Pro= tectorate budget. I have agreed with Mr Heiß, who visited me today, that he should contact Section Chief Vorel, who was appointed by the Council of Ministers=President, with a view to concluding the contract between the Pro=tektorat government and the publishing house.
