40 Prague, 31 July 1942. bif ms un lu livy br buy4i 4-Oberst-Gruppeführer Daluege. With reference to the meeting on 30.d. Mts. I submit the draft of a letter agreed with Yhen to Reichsminister Dr. Lammers, in which the request is made to lift § 4 of the Ordinance on the Construction of the Administration and the German Security Police in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia of 1 September 1939 (RGBl. I page 1681). The paragraph states that the Reich Protector must carry out the internal structure of his authority "in agreement with the Reichsminister des Jnnern as the central office for Bohemia and Moravia". This provision, as I was able to carry out Jhnen, is untenable and leads to the creation of a powerful organization more or less dependent on the good will of the Reich Ministry of the Jnn. Jch now considers it not expedient to have the paragraphs lifted in the normal way of regulation, but considers it correct if Dr. Lammers immediately submits the matter to the Führer and obtains the decision approving it. fuam
