This short paper is devoted to the proof of a single theorem, which, in its simplest form, asserts that if Q is a polyhedron in Rn which can be expressed as the union of finitely many convex polytopes whose vertices are at rational points in Rn, and if is a simplicial subdivision of Q﹜ then there is an isomorphic simplicial subdivision of Q in which all vertices are at rational points.
