J. Robert Oppenheimer: The Atomic Energy Commission and His Security Clearance, Selected Documents
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
On April 14, 1954, Laboratory employees were formally notified by a “Special Bulletin to All Employees” (Appendix A) that the Atomic Energy Commission had convened a Personnel Security Board, at the request of J. Robert Oppenheimer, to investigate “substantial derogatory information” about their former director. Long on procedural detail and short on specifics, the Bulletin served primarily as an announcement that “A board was accordingly established for the purpose of hearing the case and advising the Commission as to whether or not suspension of clearance of Dr. Oppenheimer should be made permanent.”
