The fact that the territory of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia is an integral part of the Great German Empire and the fact that: the administration of the autonomous protectorate of Böhmen and Moravia must be carried out in accordance with the political, military and economic interests of the empire, makes it necessary to divide the relevant large administrative apparatus of the special Council of Ministers Bureau among the specialized ministries. At the same time, for the purpose of a reasonable and practical restriction, I think it is right that you should entrust one of the specialist ministers with the functions of chairman of the government of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, instead of a permanent prime minister, one of them with the duties of chairperson of the Government of the protectorate of Böhmen and Moravia. The Ministry of Industry of the Chairman of the Government must be associated with the personal staff necessary to manage the few business activities reserved for the chairman of the government, and I can look forward to a proposal on your part.
