(1) The security service of the RFy (SD) has to perform important tasks as a news organization for the party and the state - in particular to support the security police - and the SD is thus acting on a state mission. This requires close and understanding cooperation between the SD and the authorities of the general and internal administration. In response to requests from the SD, information must therefore be provided to the same extent as in the case of requests from a national authority. To the same degree, the services of the SD are obliged to provide information to the authorities of the general and internal administration. 2. The traffic between the SD and the RMdI shall be carried out solely by the head of the Safety Chief Office, and the traffic between SD and other general and internal administration authorities shall be effected only by the upper sections of SD. The traffic between the general and internal administration authorities and the security authorities is carried out by the RMdl, the transit between the General and Internal Administration authorities and other SD departments in Prussia by the Reg. Pres. or Ober, Press., in the other countries by the relevant authorities. In cases of doubt, the joint decision of the RMdI and the RFył is to be incorporated. Addition for the municipalities, municipal associations, otherwise. Corporations of the public right: I request to proceed accordingly. To the subordinate authorities, commemorations, local associations, or other bodies of public law.
