I do proclaim that the lands comprising Lots 1 and 2, Section 12, Township 25 North, Range 10 East, Gila and Salt River Meridian, Arizona, comprising 52.27 acres, are hereby excluded from the Wupatki National Monument.

The preservation of the spirit and faith of the Nation does, and will, furnish the highest justification for every sacrifice that we may make in the cause of national defense.

It is that something which matters most to its future—which calls forth the most sacred guarding of its present.

The democratic aspiration is no mere recent phase in human history.

This sets up the Office of Production Management, which I told you about the other day.

I am putting in Minton as Administrative Assistant, to act as legs for me—with a 'passion for anonymity.'

I think they will. They think they will—that's an interesting thing.

I hereby further exempt the said David D. Caldwell from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending January 31, 1942.

You can't make it much broader than that in giving powers.

The Army and Navy are military things. The Army and Navy naturally would decide.
