By virtue of the authority vested in me as President and
Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy, under the Constitution
and statutes of the United States, it is ordered as follows:

1. In addition to the authority vested in the Representative
of the United States and its Chief of Counsel by Paragraph 1 of
Executive Order No. 9547 of May 2, 1945, to prepare and prosecute
charges of atrocities and war crimes against such of the leaders of
the European Axis powers and their accessories as the United States
may agree with any of the United Nations to bring to trial before an
international military tribunal, such Representative and Chief of
Counsel shall have the authority to proceed before United States
military or occupation tribunals, in proper cases, against other
Axis adherents, including but not limited to cases against members of
groups and organizations declared criminal by the said international
military tribunal.

2. The present Representative and Chief of Counsel is
authorized to designate a Deputy Chief of Counsel, to whom he may
assign responsibility for organizing and planning the prosecution of
charges of atrocities and war crimes, other than those now being
prosecuted as Case No. 1 in the international military tribunal, and,
as he may be directed by the Chief of Counsel, for conducting the
prosecution of such charges of atrocities and war crimes.

3. Upon vacation of office by the present representative

GENERAL MEMORANDUM NO. 15

Subject: Organization for Subsequent Proceedings.

In order to expedite the preparation of subsequent cases and
to assure continuity in their management, it has been agreed that a
division shall now be set up in the Office of Chief of Counsel temporarily,
but eventually to be transferred intact to Military Government,
and that such division function under a Deputy Chief of Counsel who,
upon retirement of the present Chief of Counsel, shall become Chief of
Counsel for War Crimes under Military Government.

Accordingly, the President of the United States on January
16, 1946 amended the Executive Order No. 9547 of May 2, 1945, which
provided for representation of the United States in prosecuting war
crimes, by adding:

"... 2. The present Representative and Chief of
Counsel is authorized to designate a Deputy Chief
of Counsel, to whom he may assign responsibility
for organizing and planning the prosecution of
charges of atrocities and war crimes other than
those now being prosecuted as Case No. 1 in the
International Military Tribunal, and as he may be
directed by the Chief of Counsel, for conducting
the prosecution of such charges of atrocities and
war crimes.

"3. Upon vacation of office by the present
Representative and Chief of Counsel, the functions,
duties, and powers of the representative of the
United States and its Chief of Counsel, as specified
in the said Executive Order No. 9547 of May 2,
1945, as amended by this order, shall be vested in
a Chief of Counsel for War Crimes to be appointed
by the United States Military Governor for Germany
or by his successor."

NOW, THEREFORE, I do hereby

1. Name and appoint Colonel Telford Taylor as Deputy Chief of
Counsel and assign to him responsibility for organizing and planning
the prosecution of charges of atrocities and war crimes other than
those now being prosecuted as Case No. 1 in the International Military
Tribunal as provided in Article 2 of the Executive Order.

2. Transfer to the jurisdiction of the said Deputy Chief of
Counsel the Subsequent Proceedings Division created by General Memorandum
No. 13 on January 12, 1946, subject however to the administrative
control of the Executive Officer, Brigadier General Robert J.
Gill. O. C. C. personnel which is no longer needed for the present
trial may be assigned to the Subsequent Proceedings Division. Additional
personnel necessary will be employed for or assigned to the
Subsequent Proceedings Division and it is to be noted that certain
restrictions applicable to O. C. C. personnel may not be applicable to
the recruitment of new personnel which may be employed under Military
Government regulations. All recruitment and activity of the Subsequent
Proceedings Division is subject to the priority of Case No. 1
now pending. Nothing in this order affects the responsibility for
conduct of Case No. 1 to its completion.
