English Translation

L as well as a newspaper and newspaper clipping archive, which fills several large cellar rooms of the Czernin-Paiais. In the case of such a solution, all expensive inventory purchases for the archive of the State Secretary would be unnecessary. It would only be necessary to take over the staff, which consists of a director, two scientific assistants, a librarian (expediments) and a clerk, into the household of the Reichsprotektor. The aim would then be to transfer the head and his deputy to civil servants. In the negotiations with the Federal Foreign Office, he would, of course, have to be granted the right to request further information. However, by following the authority of the Reichsprotektor, the archive would undoubtedly gain in terms of its accessibility. At the same time, Mr Staatsekre- tär would have ensured that his private archive would be properly housed and maintained without major investments. For information, I would like to mention that a record was given to Mr Unterstaatsecre- rë concerning a takeover of the archives of the Federal Foreign Office by the authority of the Reichsguardor on 20 August the year before.
