Considering that the law of 24 March 1933 (RGBl I, p. 141) expires formally on 10 May 1943, I ordain:
The Reich Cabinet has to continue to exercise the powers entrusted to it by the law of 24 March 1933.
I reserve it to myself, to bring about the confirmation of these powers of the Reich Cabinet by the Greater German Reichstag. Headquarters of the Fuehrer, 10 May 1943.
