Berlin,

Plenipotentiary
for the Four-Year Plan
To
The
Reich Minister of the Interior
Berlin
The
emigration of the Jews from Germany is to be furthered by all
possible means.
A
Reich Central Office for Jewish Emigration is being
established in the Reich Ministry of the Interior from among
representatives of the agencies concerned. The Reich Central
Office will have the task to devise uniform policies as
follows:
1.
Measures for the preparation of increased emigration of
Jews. This will include the creation of a Jewish organization
that can prepare uniform applications for emigration; the
taking of all steps for the provision and efficient use of
local and foreign funds; and a decision on suitable target
countries for emigration, to be selected in coordination with
the Reich Center for Emigration.
2.
The direction of emigration, including, for instance,
preference for the emigration of the poorer Jews.
3.
The speeding up of emigration in individual cases, by
means of speedy and smooth provision of the State documents
and permits required by the individual emigrant, through
central processing of applications for emigration.
The
Reich Center for Emigration will be headed by the Chief of the
Security Police. He will appoint a Responsible Manager and
make rules for the operation of the Reich Center.
Regular
reports on the work of the Reich Center will be forwarded to
me. I will be consulted continuously on measures requiring
decisions of principle.
In
addition to representatives of other agencies involved, the
Committee will include Ambassador Eisenlohr, who is
responsible for official inter-state negotiations, and
Ministerial Director Wohlthat, who is responsible for
negotiations in connection with the Rublee Plan.
