In [[1941]] [[Curtis B. Munson]], a "Businessman-turned-Spy," was commissioned by [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|United States President Roosevelt]] to investigate and report upon the sympathies and loyalties of [[Japanese Americans]] living in [[California]] and [[Hawaii]].
This report came about following the interception of messages from [[Tokyo]] to Japanese Americans in Hawaii requesting details about the U.S. Military Fleet stationed at [[Pearl Harbor]]. The report found very little hostility amongst the Japanese American population, and portrayed them as loyal to America. Munson worried that the people were being wrongly imprisoned.
