Letter from Richard Nixon to Glenn T. Seaborg — April 18, 1969

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
April 18, 1969

Dear Dr. Seaborg:

I concur with the recommendation set forth in your letter of April 5th that the new 200 Bev Accelerator Laboratory being built near Chicago, Illinois be narned in honor of Dr. Enrico Fermi.

It is my understanding that the Commission will indicate its intention in the near future, although
the actual naming will not occur until completion of construction some years hence.

Sincerely,
Richard Nixon

Honorable Glenn T. Seaborg
Chairman
U.S. Atomic Energy Commission
Washington, D.C.
