MEMORANDUM OF THE UNITED STATES
PROSECUTION ON THE MOTION ON BEHALF
OF DEFENDANT STREICHER
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, THE UNITED KINGDOM OF
GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND, and THE UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST
REPUBLICS
against
HERMANN WILHELM GÖRING, et al.,
Defendants. The
United States of America, acting through its Chief Prosecutor, opposes
the Motion of Counsel for Defendant STREICHER for the following reasons:
(1)
Since Counsel accepted the assignment to represent said
defendant on 27 October 1945, he has been provided with a list of
documents relied upon by the Prosecutor, and has been permitted to
examine the documents and decrees referred to in such list; that such
documents and exhibits will remain available to said Counsel throughout
the Trial in the Defendant's Information Center in Room No. 54 of the
Court House in Nuremberg where German speaking custodians are available
for assistance in expediting such examination.
(2)
Said defendant will have additional
time to examine documentary evidence and further prepare his defense
until the Prosecution presents its Case in Chief.
(3)
Defendant STREICHER is the only defendant who has requested
postponement, and his application does not show any facts of hardship
that would follow which would be limited to his particular defense.
Further he does not show any specific injury to his defense if the
Motion should be denied.
(4)
No objection is made to request in Section II of the Motion.
(5)
It is agreed that the film on Concentration Camps may be shown to
Defense Counsel prior to the Trial.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the Motion be overruled.

U. S. Chief of Counsel
