LAD#35: FDR's Excutive Order #9066

On February 19, 1942, FDR issued excutive order #9066. In this, he said that as president, he gave permission to commanders of the army and navy to attack or inhabit a place if they felt it was necessary. The Secretary of War had to provide safety for all citizens, as well as food, shelter, and other supports. He authorized the use of federal troops and issued a request for the furnishing of hospitals and new centers. It was the duty of the military to provide for the people and take care of America.
