TLS signed “H. G. Rickover,” one page, 7 x 8, United States Atomic Energy Commission letterhead, December 8, 1964. Letter to Lieutenant General Leslie Groves, in full: "Thank you for your kind letter. Coming from one such as you who accomplished so much despite scientific, engineering and personnel problems, it is very gratifying. As you are aware no one today can do all that is necessary by himself to win the Fermi award—or a similar one. I suppose the best one can do is inspire others to become aware of the importance of a goal and lead them to dedicate themselves to the task." In fine condition, with two rusty paperclip impressions to the top edge. On November 21, 1964, the Atomic Energy Commission awarded the 1964 Enrico Fermi Award to Vice Admiral Hyman G. Rickover for his contributions to the development of nuclear power for submarines and power-generating plants.
