English Translation

10 -2- As the Minister of the Reich, Dr. Lammers, has confirmed by letter of the 4th century - sign Rk. 2379 B, this basic sentence must also apply in relation to your ministry and your commissioner. The current political situation in the Protectorate requires more than ever that this should be kept unreservedly. I therefore urgently have to ask to amend your decree accordingly. I could only depart from this if you decided to appoint Dr Bertsch, the Autonomous Minister for Economic Affairs and Labour in Prague, as chairman of the Arms Commission. Maj-Gen Hernekamp could leave alg permanent representative of Minister Bertsch in his own capacity as chairperson of the Defence Commission, a rule of this kind would not be without an example. The personal union between the head of the Landwirtschaftsamt and chairman of the Arms Commission is carried out in various guages. In the Reichsgau Sudetenland, the Gauwirtungsberater is the chairperson of the Defence Commission; his representative is the Armaments Inspector, the previous two-laneness would be eliminated here by one stroke. In conclusion, Mr President, I should like to say that I am not in a position to support the motion for a resolution tabled by the Committee on the Rules of Procedure, the Verification of Credentials and Immunities. Heil Hitler, your son Frank.
