FDR claims that he has the ability to protect the United States from "espionage and against sabotage to national-defense material, national-defense premises, and national-defense utilities." In this claim, FDR proclaims that he has authorized construction in military areas such that a person can house the government can house potential enemies. He supports this claim in an appeal to logos: those in these camps will be treated like citizens, and FDR supports that the military officers should respect the liberties of those in the camps and provide them with necessities and accommodations. Roosevelt next calls for the Attorney General to take charge and control over these camps, but also concedes that one man alone should not wield such power, so he authorizes commanders of each individual camp and the allowance of federal troops to regulate these industries. Roosevelt concludes that he will authorize departments that control "hospitalization, food, clothing, transportation, use of land, shelter, and other supplies" and finishes that his decrees can only be changed by him.
