131 Prague, October 2, 1939. With 2 attachments Mr. v. Burgsdorff. I had already ordered from the beginning of August d.J. that the costs incurred should be borne by the Office of the Lord Reich Protector. The troops are not available for this purpose. For example, it is in Berlin - among others. also at the Reichskanzlei - usually that the costs are borne on the budget of the department in which the SS_VT, SS-TV are used for monitoring, etc. I ask that, in accordance with the bureaucratic rules of the game, a simile is available to ask the Reichskanzlei about the nature of the regulation and then proceed analogously. In order not to stop the payment of the costs, however, due to the pending correspondence, I order that they should be paid in advance. I would be grateful if you would direct me about the cause shortly under 0. 16801 \C13
