THE MARSHAL: The Tribunal is again in session. DR. WEISGERBER: Mr. President, during the recess I have got my hands on a few copies of Document Book No. 1 and I request permission to give them to the Tribunal. First, though, I should like to point out one thing. I have ascertained that the correct English text and also the German text of Sievers Document No. 40 is to be found in English Document Book No. 1. On the other hand, in the German document book the English text is also included. I can explain that as follows. The witness Borkenau, whose document this is, gave me at the time his English translation. Then, when I turned in my document book to be translated, I also turned in this English translation in order to be of assistance to the Translation Division. When the document book was finally put together, the defense, according to present custom, has no influence and consequently it was not possible for me to look through this book before it was put before the Tribunal.
