LAD #35: F.D.R.'s Executive Order 9066

FDR starts this off immediately saying and citing that he has the right to do everything in his power to protect the U.S. "against espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material, national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities." Roosevelt, in his opening paragraph states that he authorizes construction of the military ares in any location. Additionally he says that military officers have to respect the liberties of the detainees and have to give them good transportation, shelter, food, and accommodations.  Roosevelt then places the Attorney General in charge of all of these camps. The president gives power also to the commanders of the camps, such as the implementing of federal troops and the aid of state and local agencies. Roosevelt authorizes departments in charge of "hospitalization, food, clothing, transportation, use of land, shelter, and other supplies." The president then closes the letter, stating that this order cannot be changed unless stated explicitly by him.
