1. IlJE}C consisted solely of office personnel and had no fabrication facilities.
The major portion of the firm was housed in a new office building opposite
a ministry building at Leipzigerstraase 4 in East Berlin. Because of
lack of space, the ThEC Main Department TO (Quality Control) was housed
in East Berlin on Muehlenatrasse, and the Main Department T-3 (Power
Plants) was housed in East Berlin on Brunnenstrasse.

2. Historically, the firm INEX was- the successor of the former Central
Pro act-Planning Bureau of the DDR (Zentral Projektierungsbuero der
DDR.1 The change took place in July 1954? The Central Project-
Planning Bureau had been responsible for the planning and the
contracting for all industrial building in the DDR. The procedure
for any new industrial construction or renovating was briefly as
follows: a factory which needed any new construction sent its
request to its own particular ministry; the ministry then for-
warded the request to the Central Project-Planning Bureau, which
called on the customer, drew up the plans for the construction,
and sublet contracts to construction firms. An additional duty
of this bureau was the technical inspection and servicing of all
industrial installations in the DDR. Gradually, as orders from
abroad more and more frequently requested complete industrial
installations, it was decided to establish a new concern to handle
foreign contracts for industrial installations, and to incorporate
in the new concern the old Central Project-Planning Bureau and
several other allied agencies which, up to that time, had operated
independently. Thus, in July 1954, the Central Project-Planning
Bureau was abolished, and its personnel and functions were in-
corporated as a separate department into the newly established INEX.
Administratively INEX was under the Ministry of Heavy Maohi
Construction. Lee the organization chart of INEX on page 3d
3? F negotiations had begun to
transfer that concern to the Ministry of Foreign and Internal
Trade. This change proved difficult to accomplish, however, since
by that time it was generally known that INEX encountered insur-
mountable difficulties in meeting its delivery deadlines, and that
sometime in the near future the ministry in charge of INEX would
have to account for the enormous penalties already owed by INEX
to its foreign customers.
4.
INEX was made the central planning, designing, and general contract-
ing agency for all export contracts for industrial construction
undertaken by the DDR. The impetus for the establishment of this
agency was as follows. Up to the time of the inception of INEX,
the DIA (DeutscholInnen-Aussenhandel = German Domestic and Foreign
Trade) under the Ministry of Foreign and Internal Trade handled all
foreign orders for machinery. In the course of 1953 and 1954, how-
