 This international unrest in the world would unfortunately seem to have given rise to the view amongst the Jews within Germany that the time has come for them to openly oppose Jewish interests to those of the German nation. Vigorous complaints have been received from numerous places regarding the provocative action of individuals belonging to this people, and the remarkable frequency of these reports and the similarity of their contents point to a certain systematic operation. .... The only way to deal with the problem, which remains open, is through legislative action. The German Government is guided in its actions by the thought that a single secular solution may still make it possible to create level ground on which the German people may establish tolerable relations with the Jewish people. Should this hope not be fulfilled and should Jewish agitation both within Germany and in the international scene continue the position must be examined afresh. I now suggest to the Reichstag the passing of the laws, which will be read by Reichstag President, Party member Goering. The first and second laws repay a debt to the movement under whose symbol Germany regained its freedom by implementing an important point in the Party's platform. The third [law] is an attempt to regulate [the Jewish] problem by law. Should this attempt fail, the legal matter will be handed over to the National-Socialist Party for a final solution. The National-Socialist Party, along with the German nation, stand behind all three laws. I request that you accept the laws.
