FDR's Executive Order No. 9066
This executive order was on the topic of Japanese Relocation during the time of WWII. February 19, 1942 was the date that this order was given. Roosevelt stated that the Secretary of War should begin to prescribe military areas. He said that all that were currently in those areas would be provided with whatever necessary for when they were excluded from their area. These areas would be restricted with the help of Federal troops and other Federal Agencies and local and state agencies. Roosevelt then authorizes the Executive Department to assist the Secretary of War in carrying out this action including all of the necessities that came along with it like food clothing... etc. He also states that this order known as "9066" does not limit or modify order "8972" in any way.
