| | 60th Anniversary of Japanese Internment by FDR - Executive Order 9066 |
 | | I hereby further authorize and direct all Executive Departments, independent establishments and other Federal Agencies, to assist the Secretary of War or the said Military Commanders in carrying out this Executive Qrder, including the furnishing of medical aid, hospitalization, food, clothing, transportation, use of land, shelter, and other supplies, equipment, utilities, facilities, and services. |
 | | On Feb. 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which would force some 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry away from their mostly West Coast homes, jobs, farms and businesses and into 10 internment camps for the duration of World War II. |
 | | Supposedly, the interment was ordered to stop the Japanese agents without tipping Japanese counterintelligence to the fact that we were reading their codes. |
