Statement by David E. Lilienthal Chairman, United States Atomic Energy Commission The plans for the Burlington, Iowa, Atomic Energy Week are heartening to every person who believes that an informed and independent public opinion, developed within the communities of America, is essential to wise control of this great force so that it shall in the end strengthen and not weaken the democratic way. It is appropriate that Iowa should be among the leaders in giving the country this fine demonstration of a community educational project in atomic energy, for the Chairman of the crucial Joint Committee and Atomic Energy of the Congress is a former Governor and now a United States Senator from your state, and in a position of notable leadership and responsibility in this whole field.
