Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"Every person shall be deemed to have notice of the requirements of this Act upon publication by the President of a proclamation or other public notice fixing a time for any registration under Section ..."

"The Governor of each State shall have charge of the administration of the selective service law in his State."

"A favorable and intelligent public opinion...can be more effective in securing proper and effective administration of the law than the penalties written into the statute."

"I feel certain that many thousands of our most able and patriotic citizens will offer their services for this duty."
