I should like to point out that this bond with the Binver was taken up with me at the time, at the express request of the Reich Protector, as a protection against the unifying thoughts of your authorities, and that on the one hand I do not see any reason for insisting on the agreement with me against your wish now. In view of the agreement on this point, however, it is no longer necessary for a special decision to be taken on the basis that the agreement with me as the central office for the Protectorate of Bohemia int Baren in all the basic measures, in particular important measures relating to administrative reform, should be taken. on 22.3.39 (RGBl.1 3.549) and on 22.5.42 (RGßl.1 Stz29) on the administration of the Frotektorat Böhmen and Moravia. Copy of the certificate of appointment of Secretary of State Dr.Stuckart as head of the central office for the Protectorate is due.
