Draft of FDR’s “Day of Infamy” Speech. December 7, 1941. A few
hours after learning of the attacks on Pearl Harbor, President
Franklin D. Roosevelt dictated a short address to be delivered
to a Joint Session of Congress the following day. His
handwritten revisions—visible in this December 7 draft of the
speech—made the “Day of Infamy” speech one of the most memorable
in American history. –from the FDR Library
