Honorable Frank Annunzio
House of Representatives
Congress of the United States


Dear Mr. Annunzio:

I am pleased to inform you that the President has concurred in our recommendation to name the 200 BEV Accelerator Facility the Enrico Fermi Laboratory. I am sure you will agree the selection represents a particularly fitting manner in which to honor Dr. Fermi and acknowledge his many contributions to the field of atomic research, especially his work on nuclear processes.

The attached announcement reflects the Commission's plan to name the 200 BEV Accelerator Laboratory, upon completion of construction, in honor of Dr. Enrico Fermi.

We plan to release this statement on Tuesday, April 29, at 10:00 a.m.

Cordially,

Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission
