As an alum of the Justice Department unit that reviews EOs for form & legality--the Office of Legal Counsel--I've been watching the EOs & memoranda as they came out.

This is why there was a large death toll from the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. The US Weather Bureau was not allowed to coordinate with the Cuban Weather Service, who knew the hurricane was headed into the Gulf. Because of that, the Weather Bureau “lost” the hurricane until it was too late.
