Mr. McHaney: The only change made by the amendment is to say the date January 1944 for the date January 1943; in other words, it extends the period covered by the crime for 1 year. The date 1943 was inserted by mistake in the indictment as filed with the Tribunal.
Presiding Judge Beals: Are these two defendants represented by counsel here present this morning?
Mr. McHaney: I think that Rudolf Brandt answered “Yes”.
Defendant Blome: Yes, your Honor.
Presiding Judge Beals: Has this motion been served upon counsel for these two defendants?
Mr. McHaney: Your Honor, my understanding is that the motion for amendment was filed with the Secretary General. If we understand the rules correctly, the Secretary General then serves it upon the defendants.
Presiding Judge Beals: I was just asking for information whether they had received copies of the motion.
Mr. McHaney: That I don’t know. Yes, the counsel for these defendants say “Yes”.
Presiding Judge Beals: Does counsel for defendant Blome raise any objection to the amendment of the indictment?
Dr. Sauter: No.
