                                        Main Office

SS-Gruppenführer Mueller               Reich Main Security
SS-Obersturmbannführer Eichmann        Office

SS-Oberführer Dr. Schoengarth          Security Police and SD
Chief of the Security Police and
the SD in the Government General

SS-Sturmbannführer Dr. Lange           Security Police and SD
Commander of the Security Police
and the SD for the General-District
Latvia, as deputy of the Commander
of the Security Police and the SD
for the Reich Commissariat "Eastland".


II.  At the beginning of the discussion Chief of the Security
Police and of the SD, SS-Obergruppenführer Heydrich, reported
that the Reich Marshal had appointed him delegate for the
preparations for the final solution of the Jewish question in
Europe and pointed out that this discussion had been called for
the purpose of clarifying fundamental questions.  The wish of the
Reich Marshal to have a draft sent to him concerning
organizational, factual and material interests in relation to the
final solution of the Jewish question in Europe makes necessary
an initial common action of all central offices immediately
concerned with these questions in order to bring their general
activities into line.

     The Reichsführer-SS and the Chief of the German Police
(Chief of the Security Police and the SD) was entrusted with the
official central handling of the final solution of the Jewish
question without regard to geographic borders.

     The Chief of the Security Police and the SD then gave a
short report of the struggle which has been carried on thus far
against this enemy, the essential points being the following:

     a)   the expulsion of the Jews from every sphere of life of
          the German people,

     b)   the expulsion of the Jews from the living space of the
          German people.

     In carrying out these efforts, an increased and planned
acceleration of the emigration of the Jews from Reich territory
was started, as the only possible present solution.

     By order of the Reich Marshal, a Reich Central Office for
Jewish Emigration was set up in January 1939 and the Chief of the
Security Police and SD was entrusted with the management.  Its
most important tasks were

     a)   to make all necessary arrangements for the preparation
          for an increased emigration of the Jews,

     b)   to direct the flow of emigration,

     c)   to speed the procedure of emigration in each individual
          case.

     The aim of all this was to cleanse German living space of
Jews in a legal manner.

WISHING, in a spirit of good and mutual accord, to regulate the conditions most favourable to the development of trade and civilization in certain regions of Africa, and to assure to all nations the advantages of free navigation on the two chief rivers of Africa flowing into the Atlantic Ocean; BEING DESIROUS, on the other hand, to obviate the misunderstanding and disputes which might in future arise from new acts of occupation (prises de possession) on the coast of Africa; and concerned, at the same time, as to the means of furthering the moral and material well-being of the native populations; HAVE RESOLVED, on the invitation addressed to them by the Imperial Government of Germany, in agreement with the Government of the French Republic, to meet for those purposes in Conference at Berlin, and have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries, to wit: [Names of plenipotentiaries not listed here.] Who, being provided with full powers, which have been found in good and due form, have successively discussed and adopted:
