Changes
In the cabinet meeting on July 4, 1974, lower budget increases and, in some cases, also cuts for the 1975 budget were decided for all departments compared to the original plan. The budget of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation was supposed to increase by 9.1 percent in the 1975 budget year. Following the cabinet meeting, the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation, Erhard Eppler , resigned in protest. His successor on July 8, 1974, was the former Federal Minister for Special Tasks, Egon Bahr .
On August 19, 1974, the Parliamentary State Secretaries to the Federal Foreign Minister, Karl Moersch and Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski , were appointed State Ministers in the Foreign Office.
After he had been elected parliamentary manager of the SPD parliamentary group on December 18, 1974, the parliamentary state secretary to the Federal Minister of Finance, Konrad Porzner , left office. His successor was on January 24, 1975 the previous deputy chairman of the finance committee, Rainer Offergeld .
On March 19, 1975, Karl-Wilhelm Berkhan took up the post of Defense Commissioner of the German Bundestag. On the same day, Hermann Schmidt , who had been chairman of the Defense Committee since 1972, was appointed as his successor as Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Defense .
