Roosevelt states this as an act against espionage and references several past acts that have led to it. He places the Secretary of War and the Military Commander in charge of the operation, and lists specific things that each is allowed to do. The next few paragraphs state some necessary humanitarian provisions, such as access to medical care. He specifically states that this will not go against Executive Order 8972 and will not impede the work of the FBI. Roosevelt ends by signing it and indicating the date and place of its issue. He doesn’t specifically mention Japanese people residing in the United States or internment camps in so many words, but his intent is clear.
