2. The Office for Racial Policies alone is authorized to regulate the training and propaganda regarding racial—and population policies, as well as making announcements to the press.
Accordingly, announcements concerning racial—or population policies, have to be cleared in each case through the Office for Racial Policies of the NSDAP.
3. The Office for Racial Policies of the NSDAP, as far as the NSDAP is concerned and in connection with the proper authorities, covers all measures relating to population-and racial policies. Accordingly, the Office for Racial Policies, in the NaziParty Executive Board is constantly participating in all legislative measures of the government concerning this subject.
