informal speeches or fireside chats on the radio
The moment Stimson informed him that the project to build atomic bombs existed and that Franklin D. Roosevelt had already issued orders for the Army to plan to use them on Japan, after Truman was sworn in as president following Franklin D. Roosevelt's death. Truman saw no reason to change these plans.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, elected in 1932, was the first modern President to make effective use of the radio. To help calm the fears of the nation during the Great Depression, and to keep the citizens informed as to what the government was doing, FDR presented a series of "fireside chats" over the airwaves. His calm, reassuring voice did much to help prevent anxiety and panic in some sections of the population.

In 1940 France had surrendered and Great Britain was in a crisis. Winston Churchill requested that US destroyers be furnished to Britain in exchange for naval base leases. President Roosevelt informed Churchill that such a deal would require Congressional authorization and it would not at that time be a wise decision to request this from the Congress.
Franklin Roosevelt was well informed about what the Nazis were doing. He did not do anything specifically to end the Holocaust. Jan Karski, a member of the Polish resistance and a courier, had two lengthy face-to-face meetings with FDR at the time of the Holocaust. Karski described the conditions in the Warsaw Ghetto and told him about the extermination camps. He implored Roosevelt to do something about it, but according to Karski, Roosevelt merely kept on saying, 'Tell them that the guilty will be punished'. He did not respond to Karski's point that what was need was immediate help.
