P.r a g, 26 January 1942. Büco des Staa:sekretärs L: Reichspcotektor in Bühmen und Mähren. Eing.: 27. JAN. 1942 K.H. 4-Obersturmbannführer Dr. G i e s, Prag. 2/81 At the Bodenamt there were no exceptions to the passing of the language examination. Section VI of the Ministry of Agriculture (forestry) submitted proposals for exemption from the examination of the language to the Reichsprotektor and approved by the Reich Protector. The forestry officials mentioned in the telex were exempted from the test by decree of Group I/l of the Reich's Protector. A participation of the Oberlandrat was not required after the superior authority issued the exemption. It does not seem expedient to me to increase these liberations now, since an already issued decree of the Chiny Reichsprotector would be revoked precisely in a section, which is under German commissarial direction, while in the other, still Czech-led sections, the exceptions ordered by group I/l remain. It would have to either the additions 4/2. lift the exemptions for the entire ministry or it must be withdrawn from the withdrawal of these 3 orders. Cblchaher I ask the group leader to take the decision and, if necessary, forward the instructions of the group 1 1 1942 leader to me. 90 Appendix! 84 20 π3-8ne/4 1-overstudbannfahrter.
