This executive order, signed by President Herbert Hoover on 1932-01-04, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Road Right of Way, Schofield Barracks Military Reservation, Hawaii." It outlines operative directives for executive department officers, delegating enforcement responsibilities and establishing official governance guidelines.

Constitutional Assessment: Scrutinized through Article II, Section 2, this action exercises the President's constitutional role as Commander in Chief.
