1 Nov 1946

Recommendations 9. We therefore recommend that the Chiefs of Staff:(a) Agree that the information available from these German Scientists and Technicians is of such importance as to make it highly desirable that accommodation and employment be obtained for them, in addition to those already included in the categories for such treatment; (b) Invite the Control Office for Germany and Austria, as a matter of urgency, to (i) give the highest priority to the establishment in the British zone of a reception centre or other accommodation for these Scientists and technicians; and at all costs assist them out of the Russian Zone without delay; (ii) give authority for assurance to be given that employment will be found for those Germans of vital intelligence value; (c) Draw the attention of the Defence Committee to this matter as soon as possible.
