English Translation

-3- a circumstance which also provides a guarantee for the maintenance of the previous line. The leadership staff of the Reichsprotektor will, in advance, be appointed as Secretary of State and Under-Secretary of State, as well as the two commanders of the new 1 Head of Division. The assignment of individual group leaders will result from practice. I would also oppose a wide range of demands for self-employment on my part. The necessary summary and orientation of the new head of department will be ensured, apart from the obligation to give lectures in all important matters to the Under-Secretary of State and State Secretary, by repeated appeals at short intervals by the Reichsprotektor and Secretary of State. The functions which the individual department heads will perform in the autonomous ministries (general officers, permanent representatives of the minister above as in the case of Dr. Pertsch the head of the department itself) will only result from the further development. Afterwards, the possible upgrading of individual department head will have to be directed. At least at the present time, there is no consideration of the full gender equality of all heads of department, but it must be borne in mind that a certain rank of heads of departments is required to document the emphasis on the autonomous minister. I therefore believe that I have substantially resolved the concerns there and I would ask that my proposal now be given more approval. III.
