THE PRESIDENT: On the document before me the Prosecution appears to have objected to three of them. I do not know whether that is true or not.
DR. VON LÜDINGHAUSEN: Two, Numbers 93 and 101 from my document books—they have been objected to and I have dropped them.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I beg your pardon, I was wrong. Well then, you have dropped them; that is all right. You may continue, please.
DR. VON LÜDINGHAUSEN: Mr. President, may I first of all say that up to now the translations have been completed only for Document Book Number 1. That book is already available. The others, however, are not yet ready. I should nevertheless like to be permitted first of all to cite the documents from the document books in connection with the respective questions, giving their numbers and short descriptions and also possibly quoting short passages from them, so that the context may remain intact and we may be saved the trouble of submitting the documents again after they have been translated, which after all would be a waste of time.
THE PRESIDENT: Do you mean to use the documents before you have called the defendant?
DR. VON LÜDINGHAUSEN: No, no, in the course of the examination.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes—then you propose to call the defendant?
DR. VON LÜDINGHAUSEN: Yes.
[The Defendant Von Neurath took the stand.]
THE PRESIDENT: Will you state your name, please?
