Hungarian-born nuclear physicist (1908-2003) who worked with Fermi on the Manhattan Project and later assumed a leading role in the development of the hydrogen bomb. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory letterhead, July 7, 1982. Letter to Pennsylvania Congressman Bud Shuster, in part: "For reasons of time and because of secrecy regulations I wasn't able to explain in any detail on the Bill Buckley show how stepped-up nuclear weapons R&D can soon make a qualitative change in our strategic situation vis-a-vis the Soviet Union….Your interest in these matters is especially heartening, as developments in nuclear weaponry—particularly the recent prospect of purely defensive nuclear weapons—continue to be severely constrained by budgetary limitations. Your senior position on the Budget Committee may be effective in helping to reverse the effects of the past decade of National neglect of the nuclear aspects of National defense, neglect which the present Administration has been puzzlingly slow to redress." In fine condition.
