To Eing.: 23.MAI1940 the Secretary of State Tgb. T. 3065 Karl Hermann Fr a n k, Prag. ;bushey ====== 129=40. Betr.: Promotion of the Council of Government Bull. Dear Mr Frank! On your letter of 18 March the Js. - St. S. 235/40 - I had the question of the appointment of the Governing Council of the Council of Governors examined. Taurus was not appointed to the office of a Governing Board until 21 November 1938. Apart from the fact that according to the Reich principles its promotion to the upper government council can be considered at best in November 1941, a free upper government board office is currently not available in the budget of the Reichswirtschaftsministerium. In addition, government councils are still active in a responsible position in the ministry. the seniors are as bulls and their passing would mean an unfair hardship. I mention that Taurus is not a planning officer of the Reichswirtschaftsministerium, but as planned belongs to the general and internal administration and until his secondment to the Lord Reichsprotector in Bohemia and Moravia in the Reich Wirtschaftsministrarium was only commissary. With all due regard to the reasons given by you, it is to my regret that it is not possible to take over the Council of Government of Taurus with priority over an upper government council office of the Reichswirtschaftsverwaltung. 8 9 Heil Hitler!
