David Lilienthal testifies before joint congressional committee on atomic energy

MS Commission at table, Sen. Kenneth McKellar (D-TN) on extreme left / CU David E. Lilienthal, Nominee for Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, SOT: "the University of Chicago...[has] organized an association to further atomic research and atomic development, a very important arrangement, and therefore in an intensive way to press forward this country's knowledge in this field." / MS commission in session / CU senators seated, McKellar on extreme left / CU Lilienthal SOT comments on his work in the early 1930s / MS photographers get seated around him / CU Lilienthal SOT: "The implication made now 16 years later that I violated the letter or the spirit of the law which requires a commissioner to devote his entire time to the duties of his office and not to pursue any other business or vocation, it seems that if I may say so, a bit on the ironic side. It would seem so to me, and it will doubtless seem so to those many people who are familiar with the 12- and 14-hour days that was it my custom to spend on this work and six and often even seven days a week." / CU side view McKeller listening
