Franklin Roosevelt actually said...

"The Governor of Alaska, as Chairman of the Council, shall keep the President informed with regard to major steps proposed or adopted for the protection of the civilian population of Alaska."

"These conversations have been most useful in establishing a basis for fruitful and closer relationship between the two Governments."

"The Council shall make such recommendations to the military and other Federal authorities as it deems desirable."

"It shall be the duty of the Council to maintain close liaison with the military authorities in Alaska."
