During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his “Day of Infamy" speech, Franklin D. Roosevelt claims that Japan was dishonest in its dealings with the United States. He says that the Japanese planned months ahead for the Pearl Harbor attack and acted dishonorable by acting unprovoked which cost the lives of many people in Pearl Harbor.

1. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago.)

2. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.
