Session #79 · 1945–47

Speech #790019083

Mr. Chairman. may I add this point: The chairman of the committee persists in referring to Executive Order No. 9102. which created the War Relocation Authority. while I also direct attention to another Executive order which was issued on January 22. 1944. under which the War Refugee Board was created and under which this particular activity has been maintained. There has never been nay specific authority in law or any appropriation made heretofore. so it cannot be a reappropriation of funds. Section 213 of Public Law 358. making appropriations for the executive offices for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1945. requires any agency established by Executive order. having been in existence for more than 1 year. to come to Congress for a regular appropriation. As the War Refugee Board had been created under Executive Order No. 9417 and had utilized money provided by the President .from his emergency war found. it is obvious that no specific authorization has heretofore been considered by Congress for this activity.
