LAD #35: Executive Order No. 9066

In accordance to his Executive Order No. 9066, FDR granted multiple military officials (including the Secretary of War and Military Commander) the power to maintain a military residence within certain areas -- both foreign and local -- for troops.  The temporary inhabitants were to be provided "transportation, food, shelter, and other accommodations that may be necessary" for the fulfillment of their assigned tasks.  To help maintain balance and order, the military men was also given the right to use Federal/State agencies for additional troops.  FDR also authorized and planned out aid for each individual military inhabiting through providing Federal and independent agencies of hospitalization,  food, clothing, transportation, use of land etc. TO prevent the destruction of this order, it also contained parts that superseded those originally believed to be ahead in the "food chain."  Such examples would be acts such as the Proclamation of December 7 and 8, 1941, superseding the authority of the Attorney General.  Yet this does not mean that it completely nullified the Proclamation, it merely took precedence over it when control was needed by the military.  Likewise the Order did not interfere with either Executive Order 8972 nor the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
