In 1950 US President Harry Truman issued a new executive order covering military secrets, which superseded the one issued by President Franklin D. Roosevelt ten years earlier. In 1951 he issued another executive order which extended secrecy to non military agencies. Unlike President Roosevelt, Truman made no effort to cite case law to support the order which was broad and deep. The order was so vague that it gave the president far reaching powers and this caused some controversy on Capitol Hill.
