of know-how with respect to oil is a fair description of the way Farben handled the exchange of experience with respect to buna, particularly during the period after the government orders prohibiting the giving of know-how were issued.

A. I assume that you mean that in the oil field experience was given after the war broke out, but that was not the case in the buna field. There is a difference there.

Q. I do not mean that, Dr. ter Meer. If you read part of that, it says: “Up to now we have carried this exchange of know-how out in such a way that from our side we have only sent reports which seemed unobjectionable to us after consultation with the OKW and Reich Ministry of Economics, and which contained only such technical data as concerned facts which are known or out of date according to the latest stand. In this way we have managed the handling of the agreements so that in general the German economy remained at an advantage.

“In order to maintain the contact with neutral countries abroad and the oil companies located there, we consider it expedient to continue this exchange of know-how in the form drawn up, retaining, on our part, the guiding principle that under no circumstances must any know-how of military or military-political importance get abroad in this way.”

I merely ask you this, whether that statement which I just read is a fair description of the way in which Farben handled the exchange of buna, exchange of experience with respect to buna, during the period after June 1935?

A. No. These things have nothing to do with each other.

MR. AMCHAN: Dr. Gajewski, you heard Dr. von Knieriem and Dr. ter Meer testify with respect to the appointment of Herr Merbeck, M-e-r-b-e-c-k, to the counterintelligence unit of the Vermittlungsstelle W. Now, I ask you, is it not a fact that you also approved that appointment?

DEFENDANT GAJEWSKI: Possibly; I don't know.

Q. Did you know at that time that Mr. Merbeck was a member of the Gestapo?
