not, however, be destroyed or dissipated but hold either for

administration. at Reich or Land/Frovinz level, as may be
determined, as soon as such relaxation of Allied control is
consistent with:
(1) The carrying out of an agreed CC policy
for restitution or replacement in kind
of works of art and other cultural materials.
(2)
An a greed CC program for the reeducation
of GERMANY.
24. Lists of monuments and cultural institutions in the
Lander/Provinzen of the US Zone, particularly such as had
istrative connections at the national or Prussian State level;

MFA&A Officers under Suprene Hqs, AEF.
b. Policies for the decentralization or reconstitu-

25. Considerations which bear on ultimate decisions
regarding administration, above par. 23, are here suggested:
a. German museums, archives and similar institutions
have been in the main financed at local (municipal) level or
regional (Land/Provinz) level, and the Denkmalspflege (monument
protection) service has also a structure centered at the Land/
Provinz level. It will thus be possible to establish provision-
ally the control of MFA&A at regional level, making use of the
regional organizations for supervision of smaller regional
institutions, replacing respons ibility for monuments with the
existing organization of the Landeskonservatoren (Provinzial-
konservatoren, in Prussia), and assigning to this latter
organization the care of former royal palaces and parks.
b.
Ultimately the greater museums should resume the
independence of control. The palaces and parks which are part
of State trusts, would depend for their ultimate disposition on
the general policy to be established concerning the preservation
of such trusts, or their reduction into Provincial trusts.
C.
Certain museums in Prussian Provinces are staffed
by personnel who rank as Prussian civil servants; and the secur-
