Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The Government's policy not to seek deferments for part-time or uncompensated employees or for dollar-a-year men is well established."

"The use, possession, and control of the lands hereinafter described be, and they are hereby, transferred from the Department of Agriculture to the Tennessee Valley Authority."

"Less than 5 percent of all of the civilian employees in these departments—or about 84,000—have been deferred for occupational reasons."

"The concept of a key position is narrowly limited to positions requiring an unusual degree of responsibility and specialized skill."
