FDR: “This proclamation, in accordance with the Act of Congress, opens our mints to the coinage of standard silver dollars.”

The Federal Loan Administrator and the War Food Administrator are hereby designated as additional members of the Economic Stabilization Board.

As their Commander in Chief I call upon you, my fellow Americans, to oversubscribe the 1945 Red Cross War Fund.

That such a body would be best able to perform its nationally important tasks if created independently of the War Labor Board by the President.

Our participation in the Food and Agriculture Organization will be an essential step in this collaboration.
