I have received your letter from 5.d.M. in the matter of political assessment of the above and share you after consultation with the Gaupersoanlamt leader Pg. S c h m i d t with: The answer of your request of August l.J., which was made by the Gaupersonalamte only on October 28th, is in fact partly due to a fault of the Gau Personalamt. However, I should like to take into account that a) the GauPersonalamt by the departure of the Pg. (b) from which the Ante itself has moved four party members to military service, and (c) the work incident is quite enormous, especially in the main office of "Politi- cal Assessment", where all beantes and employees of the state offices and authorities must be assessed. no less than 49.00o mail entries to the main office "Political Assessment" which must be dealt with with with a relatively small staff. Therefore, if your request has been taken into account so late, I ask you to excuse this with regard to the facts described above. In any case, by replacing the Office with Pg. Schmidt, we are endeavouring to do everything possible to create order and better conditions for a more rapid response to the incoming questions, precisely in this, not insignificant area. - 2
