This executive order, signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on 1933-12-16, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Amendment of Executive Order No. 6433-A, of November 17, 1933." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.

Constitutional Assessment: An early statesman would regard this order with wariness, cautioning that energetic executive discretion must never eclipse the enumerated boundaries established by the representatives of the people in Congress.
