Allied organization necessary to carry out occupation responsibilities.
At such time Military Government will be terminated and the controls
exercised by the United States, United Kingdom and France will be mainly
supervisory. Each of the Allied establishments in Germany will come
under the direction of a High Commissioner. The occupation forces, of
course, will be in charge of military commanders. The three High
Commissioners together will constitute an Allied High Commission which
will be the supreme agency of control in Western Germany. It was also
agreed that in order to permit the German Federal Republic to exercise
increased responsibility for domestic affairs and to reduce the burden
of occupation costs, personnel would be kept at a minimum. German
Government Authorities will be at liberty to take administrative and
legislative action, and such action will have validity if not disapproved
by Allied Authorities. There will, of course, be certain limited fields
in which the Allies will reserve the right to take direct action them-
selves, or to direct German Authorities to take action.
It was also agreed that a major objective of the three Allied Govern-
ments is to encourage and facilitate the closest integration, on a
mutually beneficial basis, of the German people under a democratic federal
state within the framework of a European Association. It was understood
that after its establishment, the German Federal Republic will negotiate
a separate bilateral ECA Agreement with the United States participating
as a member in the Organization for European Economic Cooperation, thus
