K A 38 M.d.F.dg.b. B.No. 1 /41. Prague, the 16th October 194l. 1.) Copy: Letter of 14.10.41 from the Deputy Imperial Protector in Bohemia and Moravia - R.Pr. No. 192/41 - to the President of the Republic Dr. Emil H a c h a Prague President ! Your proposal of 8 Oct. 1994l, the Director General of Berg- und Hüttenwerke AG., Dr. mont.h.c. I have reviewed the appointment of Ottokar K r u l i š - R a n d a as Prime Minister. Although I wish to agree with your comments on the technical qualities of Dr. Kruliš-Randa, I regret to inform you that I am Dr. Kruliš-Randa for the post of chairman of the Protectorate government because of his relations with Jewish circles. I do not consider a replacement of the chairman of that government to be appropriate for some time yet. The review of the administrative apparatus necessary in connection with the obvious pacification measures and a restriction of the protectorate government, if necessary, make it necessary to ask you first of all to leave the previous Deputy Chairman, as before, as the President-in-Office.
