DIRECTIVE TO COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF U.S. FORCES OF OCCUPATION
REGARDING THE MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF GERMANY
1.
The Purpose and Scope of this Directive:
This directive rescinds JCS 1067 and is issued to you
as commanding general of the United States forces of occupation
in Germany. As such you will serve as United States member of
the Control Council and will also be responsible for the adminis-
tration of military government in the zone or zones assigned to
the United States for purposes of occupation and administration.
It outlines the basic policies which will guide you in these
two capacities after the termination of the combined command
of the Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force.
This directive sets forth policies relating to Germany
in the initial post-defeat period. As such it is not intended
to be an ultimate statement of policies of this government
concerning the treatment of Germany in the post-war world.
It is therefore essential that, during the period covered
by this directive, you assure that surveys are constantly
maintained of economic, industrial, financial, social and
political conditions within your zone and that the results
of such surveys and such other surveys as may be made in
other zones are made available to your Government, through
the Joint Chiefs of Staff. These surveys should be developed
in such manner as to serve as a basis for determining changes
the ARCHIVES RECORDS SERVICE' AND E
in the measures of control set forth herein as well as for the
progressive formulation and development of policies to promote
the basic objectives of the United States. Supplemental direc-
tives will be issued to you by the Joint Chiefs of Staff as
may be required.
