In these discussions the staff of the Reparations Mission confined
itself to the negotiations and to policy matters, avoiding matters of
administration.
The final assignment of the staff in Berlin was the preparation
of a on the Provisions of the Berlin Protocol Relating to
Reparations." On revision, this reached the form given in Appendix 30.
The first draft of this memorandum was reviewed with Generals Clay and
Draper and their technical staff, including the Legal Division, on August
18th. A second preliminary draft containing revisions was delivered to
General Clay on August 20, 1945, with a covering letter stating that
after review with affected agencies in Washington, a final draft would
be
dispatched to him.

Preliminary investigation was also made to locate office accommoda-
tions for the US Reparations Group in Berlin in the event the reparations
work were transferréd from Moscow to Berlin or a "permanent reparations
agency" were created in Berlin with US participation. The space problem
in Berlin was found to be acute.
The Reparations Mission Library, originally assembled in Washington
and taken to Moscow, was turned over to the US Group CC for its use and
Mr. Calsoyas was temporarily attached to General Clay's office to arrange
and handle this library and acquaint a permanent supervisor therewith.
It is believed that the US Reparations Mission, through these
discussions and documents, including the above named memorandum, has
passed over to the US Group CC everything required by the administrative
group from the Reparations Mission to enable the administrators to perform
their functions in the light of the prior negotiations.
