Copy. Group Justice Prague, d en 24. October 1942 I/9 a 10652 14 To the Zentralvervaltung i.m. Subject: Distributors - increase of the service. A considerable number of decrees addressed to the Higher Reich Justice Authorities in Prague at the same time - in particular the central administration, but also of sections - have proved to be of little use for the provision of information. This is particularly true for budgetary and remuneration matters and general arrangements, which in any case regularly - and mostly earlier - had been granted by my hand to the higher Reich justice authorities of the Reich's Minister for Justice. On the other hand, in many cases, in order to avoid misunderstandings, there is a need for special additions and so forth. to pay attention to the factual needs of the judicial administration. In order to overcome the difficulties that have arisen as a result of the previous administration, and in the interest of the necessary C0J3 Papiereraparnis, I urge that the removal of the Higher Judicial Authorities (President of the Supreme Court, Attorney General) in Prague be extended to all the distributors of the Reichsprotektor. As far as a transfer of decrees is necessary, I will then request the necessary copies from the already existing reserve orally and send them to the subordinate German judicial authorities with an impregnable companion permit. Such a regulation will undoubtedly lead to a substantial simplification. However, this success can only be achieved if the newly established distributor is notified to all groups, so that they can also work for appropriate simplification and at the same time the order is issued that of the decrees respectively Sordesdeqncoattr.
