Excerpt from "Day of Infamy" Speech, December 8, 1941
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
2 The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government
and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had
commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary
State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing
diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.
