FDR: “This order shall become effective on July 1, 1943.”

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

All sections of our population—labor, farmers, businessmen have shared and will share in the benefits which increased trade brings.

The Secretary of the Interior shall make employment available and provide protection to all employees working at such mines.

I recommend that the Congress authorize the acceptance of the Constitution and the participation of the United States in the work of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
