OFFICIAL ENGLISH VERSION
...that the ties between the west-
ern sectors of Berlin and the Federal
Republic of Germany will be maintained
and developed, taking into account
that these sectors continue not to be
a constituent part of the Federal
Republic of Germany and not be governed
by it.
AGREED GERMAN TEXT
..-;dass die Bindungen zwischen den
westsektoren Berlins and der Bundes-
republik Deutschland aufrechterhalten
and entwickelt werden, wobei sie
beruecksichtigen, dass diese Sektoren
wo wie bisher kein Bestandteil
(konstutiver Teil) der Bundesrepublik
sind.
EAST GERMAN VERSION
...mass die-Verbindu-ngen
zwischen den westsektoren Berlins
and der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
aufrechterhalten and entwickelt
werden, wobei sie beruecksichtigen,
das diese Sektoren so wie bisher
kein Bestandteil der Bundesrepublik
Deutschland rind.
NOTE: The East German version carried footnotes giving the English, French and Russian
words for "Verbindungen" (in English "ties") and "Bestandteil" (in English
"constituent part"). The differences in application of the word "Bindungen"
and "Verbindungen" are`not reflected'in the English word "ties." In German,
"Bindungen" is most often used in the sense of "bonds," while "Verbindungen"
suggests a looser connection, as in a communications link. The fact that
."konstitutiver Teil" was inserted in the agreed German text to augment "Bestand-
teil" and that the East German version carried the original English, French and
Russian of this same word indicates some unhappiness by both sides with the
suitability of "Bestandteil" in defining the relationship of West Berlin with
the Federal Republic.
