FDR: “We are cleaning house, putting our financial machinery in good order.”

All Federal agencies are directed to cooperate with the Secretary of the Interior to the fullest extent possible.

The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to take possession of any and all such mines.

We can be proud of all that the Red Cross has meant to them.

Possession of any mine or mines taken under this order shall be terminated by the Secretary of the Interior as soon as he determines that such possession is no longer required for the successful prosecution of the war.
