In this brief recorded commission intervention, Lederer explains the rationale for a two-thirds majority requirement by recalling the discussion’s guiding intention:
Der vorherrschende Gedanke war doch, keine neuen privatwirtschaftlichen Unternehmungen entstehen zu lassen.
English translation: The prevailing idea was, after all, not to allow new private enterprises to come into being.
He then recalls that discussion of the Kraemer draft revealed no interest in creating new private enterprises. The supermajority requirement follows from that position; Rathenau’s recorded interjection affirms the explanation. The contribution’s significance lies in connecting a procedural rule to an economic policy objective. It does not specify the rule’s precise application or establish a broader programme for coal mining.
