Use of Lists Such lists will by no means complete the Denazification process but will provide a simple first step towards removal of obviously disqualified personnel. Military Government Officers will promptly remove all persons whose names appear On such lists. Two copies of such lists will be forwarded, to the appropriate Public Safety Officer, who will retain one for his information and records, and will forward the other to the nearest GIC Unit, to assist in its mission of arrest and detention. Fragebogen (see below) should be obtained in addition from each such individual before he is notified of his dismissal. 6. Fragebogen In addition to the above lists, Military Government Officers will require the officials of governmental or civil agencies or enterprises for the vetting of which they are responsible, to distribute Fragebogen (Form MOG/PS/G/9a) to individuals occupying 'public office" and "positions of importance in quasi- public and private enterprise' as defined in Part 1 above. Instructions will be given that such Fragebogen are to be filled out, signed and returned within 3 days. 7. Review by Supervising Officer When officials of the agency or enterprise under supervision deliver the Fragebogen to supervising Military Government Officers and before the Fragebogen is turned over to Public Safety Officers for evaluation and investigation, Mili- tary Government Officers will a a. Review the Fragebogen for the purpose of removing immediately those officials, civil servants or employees who obviously come within the mandatory removal categories. b. Arrange the Fragebogen in the order of the importance of positions held and the urgency of the need for information concerning the individual in- cumbent or applicant for appointment. c. Endorse on individual Fragebogen a notation that the incumbent has already been removed, if such is the fact, together with the date of removal. Such Fragebogen will be bundled separately in order that Public Safety Officers will not be delayed by their unnecessary evaluation and investigation. 8. Fragebogen Action Sheet After Public Safety Officers have completed their investigation, they will forward to the Military Government Officer concerned a Fragebogen Action Sheet (form MG/PS/G/AO) for each official for whom a Fragebogen has been submitted.
