"I do hereby enjoin upon all officers of the United States charged with the execution of the laws thereof, the utmost diligence in preventing violations of the said Joint Resolution and this my Proclam..."

"I don't think it involves anything further than that."

"Any friendly government might request opportunity to purchase a few muskets and a few rounds of ammunition."

"This is more a matter of domestic policy than the carrying on of warfare."
