Even superintendents and road foremen of engines who were instructed to be at a certain point at a certain time to ride a 13-29, special train did not know until after they were aboard the train that the Nation's Chief EXecutive was riding their-rails.

  • Franklin D. Roosevelt Through Eleanor's Eyes
    Franklin D. Roosevelt Through Eleanor’s eyes EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Listen to Presidential at http://wapo.st/presidential This transcript was run through an automated transcription service and then lightly edited for clarity. There may be typos or small discrepancies from the podcast audio. LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: March 4, 1933. A grey and cold Inauguration Day. Outgoing president Herbert Hoover and incoming president Franklin Delano Roosevelt had on their winter coats, and they had blankets wrapped around their legs as they rode side-by-side in an open touring car from the White House to the East Portico of the Capitol building for Roosevelt's swearing in. There were secret ramps set up so that FDR could wheel himself nearly all the way to the stage. And then with the help of his son James, he propped himself out of the wheel chair and walked slowly to the lectern. He stared out at the crowd of Americans who were gathered there to watch his inauguration during these dark days of the Great Depression, and he took the oath of office. FRANKLIN DELANO ROOSEVELT CLIP LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: Roosevelt's hand was on his family's 250-year-old Dutch bible. The page was open to 1 Corinthians 13, which has the words: “Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes.

Over the next several weeks, President Roosevelt received INTERNMENT contradictory advice about further action. FDR’s military advisers recommended the exclusion of persons of foreign descent, including American citizens, from sensitive areas of the country as a safeguard against espionage and sabotage. The Justice Department initially resisted any relocation order, questioning both its military necessity and its constitutionality. But the shock of Pearl Harbor and of Japanese atrocities in the Philippines fueled already tense race relations on America’s West Coast. In the face of political, military, and public pressure, Roosevelt accepted the relocation proposal. The Attorney General acquiesced after Scroll down to view the War Department relieved the Justice Department of any responsibility for implementation. select documents from the FDR Library On February 19, 1942, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 granting the War and excerpts from Department broad powers to create military exclusion areas.

  • Policy Statement of the Franklin D
    Policy Statement of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and the Center for Legislative Archives on December 8, 1941 Day of Infamy Speech On December 8, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt stood at the podium of the chamber of the House of Representatives to ask a joint session of Congress for a declaration that a state of war existed between Japan and the United States. The Reading Copy of Roosevelt’s famous War Message to Congress (Day of Infamy Speech), one of the landmark documents of United States history, has been missing since the day it was delivered. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum and the Center for Legislative Archives join to contest thirty- year old assertions that this important document has been accounted for in the records of the United States Senate. We also aim to heighten public awareness of its missing status in hopes that the Reading Copy will someday be identified and be placed in the Roosevelt Library with President Roosevelt’s papers and speech files. A careful review of the handling of the Reading Copy on December 8, 1941 and a close examination of related documents in the custody of the Roosevelt Library and the Center for Legislative Archives have led the staffs independently to reach two significant conclusions: After President Roosevelt delivered his address to Congress, the Reading Copy was returned to the White House. In his memoir, Affectionately, F.D.R. (1959), the president’s eldest son, James Roosevelt, wrote that he took the Reading Copy from his father, returned with it to the White House, and removed the speech from his coat before it disappeared.

  • The Worldview of Franklin D. Roosevelt: France, Germany, and United States Involvement in World War Ii in Europe
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE WORLDVIEW OF FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: FRANCE, GERMANY, AND UNITED STATES INVOLVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II IN EUROPE Michael S. Bell, Doctor of Philosophy, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor Keith W. Olson Dep artment of History President Franklin D. Roosevelt operated from a remarkably consistent view of the world that grew naturally from his experiences. Before he entered the White House, Roosevelt already possessed a coherent worldview that influenced his thinking and informed his decisions as president. The product of his background and education, his experiences, and his exposure to contemporary ideas, Roosevelt’s worldview fully coalesced by the mid 1920s and provided a durable and coherent foundation for Roosevelt’s thinking as president and his strategic direction in response to the deteriorating situation in Europe in the late 1930s and toward the Second World War. Roosevelt’s “worldview” was his broad perspective and sweeping understanding of the impact and interplay of states, parties, groups, and individual people on the progressive advance of world civilization. His background and personal experiences, understanding of historical events, and ideology shaped Roosevelt’s perspective and enabled him to formulate and deliberately pursue long-range strategic goals as part of his foreign policy. The foundation of Roosevelt’s worldview was a progressive, liberal outlook that provided a durable basis for how he interpreted and responded to events at home and abroad. An essential aspect of that outlook was Roosevelt’s deep conviction that he had a personal responsibility to advance civilization and safeguard the cause of liberal reform and democracy. He believed that he was an agent of progress.
