3 General Department of Forestry Prague, 1 December 1944. V/4 - 210/3B/44. iinisteramt An der ng.: -2. DEZ 1944 Z e n t r a l v e r w a l t u n g z.Hd. Herrn Ministerial Councillor Dr. G i e s , Czernin-Palais. Betr.: Reichsinstitut für forstliche Züchtungsforschung. With reference to my drafts dated May 9, July 15 and August 3, identical with the above diary number, I would be grateful if I could decide whether the Sanatorium building in Haustka of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Pörderung der Wissenschaften for sale should be left to the purchase. At the same time, I would be grateful if a decision could be made by the Minister of State on the issue of the provision of funds for the initial establishment of the institute and for the acquisition of the experimental areas. At that time, the Minister of State had given the representative of the Reichsforstmeister the assurance that the costs of the institute's first establishment would be made available and that the test fields would be transferred free of charge to the Reich's Forest Master and to the Kaiser Wilhelm Society. The above decisions are urgent in so far as the registration of the land register is dependent on the question of the future owner and already by unconstruction measures in the sanatorium greenhouse, for removal costs as a result of the relocation of the Reichsinstitut von Haustka to Alt-Bunzlau and for the acquisition and installation of a barracks on the experimental fields costs which could not be settled with the Czech suppliers, since I have no funds available for this purpose.
