Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the senate, the House of Representatives
Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan
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 the American island of Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to our Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message
And, while this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or of armed attack
It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago
During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace
The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces
I regret to tell you that very many American lives have been lost
In addition, American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu
Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya
Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong
Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam
Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands
Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island
And this morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island
Japan has therefore undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area
The facts of yesterday and today speak for themselves
The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation
As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense,
That always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us
No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory
