LAD #35: FDR's Executive Order #9066

Japanese-Americans preparing for the move into internment camps, authorized by Executive Order #9066

In the Order, FDR authorized military commanders to set up "military areas" (internment camps) in which they could be restricted, and to provide transportation to and food / water / shelter for those areas. They could also take steps as they deemed necessary to enforce Japanese compliance. He directed the other Federal Agencies to aid them in setting up and enforcing the restrictions.
