Prague, the 5.11.1941 and the SD - Wirtschafts-Sonderkommando - BdS. - WSK. - 44/41 I b.π f4 Originalally sent back to the office of the Secretary of State at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia Z.Hd. byMr. Chief Government Councillor Dr. G i e s by the Commander of the Security Police and SD Standartenführer, Lieutenant Colonel of the Police of Bohemia with the following statement. I regret to say that until now I have not been aware of a recent decision by the Secretary of State regarding the clear outline of the responsibility of the Minister of the Interior. The draft of the Council of Ministers' Bureau on a government regulation on the granting of powers to the Minister of the Interior should be discussed, but this consultation was postponed until a later date. In principle, I should like to say in this connection that it seems to me to be absolutely necessary to ventilate the question of the powers given to the Minister of the Interior at that time by means of an in-depth discussion in order to provide absolute clarity in this direction in future cases, at least in the field of the German administration.
