English Translation

The Secretary of State, with the approval of the proposal as such, did not agree with the removal of the President's office in the autonomous ministries and considered that the function of President should not and could not be transferred to the personal staff. The president was necessary as long as the eutonome kinisters did not have the heavy weight and the executive, as for example a German minister, who gave his personal stamp to the department entrusted to him from the outset. The apparent existence, which at least led some auto-nome ministers, would result in the disappearance of the person of the President's head of administration, who would be a summarizing faktor. Neither the head of Section I nor the head in the department Z, who is intended for the single eutonome ministries, would do justice to this task. The Secretary of State has asked you to remove Paseus, who orders the President's side, but the State Secretary wishes that the term "Head of Section" be retained. This term comes from the Austrian administration. It was not to be seen and there were no reasons why the term should be omitted. YEH
