They plan to name a specialist to study measures and decide how to divide German coal production between Germany and the Allies. A Berlin control council report is due by September 1. France backed provisional German treatment as an economic unit under Allied leadership. An American plan for a central German administration was presented, potentially replacing the four occupation zones. Byrnes warned a rejection could lead to an economic merger with another Big Four member.
