that America's innocence was betrayed by certain enemies? Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves.

Here are the three sentences that I would choose and why.
Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. <em> It was a huge surprise that everyone experienced on Dec. 7 1941. The whole speech is about that surprise.</em>
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 believe interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again Hostilities exist. <em> I choose this one because it shows how determined Roosevelt was never to let this happen again. America will fight to see to that end. Look at some of the words treachery, righteous might, </em>
ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December Seventh, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire. <em>Here Roosevelt is urging every American talk to congress through elected officials to back their heavy duty when they declare war on the Japanese Empire which he has already done.</em>
