UNITED STATES ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION WASHING TON OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN 407 BO 1 21 September 1956 j ° : ub, - re tren Dear Mr. President: Yesterday in New York I welcomed the delegates of 81 nations to the conference which is expected to ratify the statute for the International Atomic Energy Agency. My remarks were naturally geared to your speech of three years ago, and I am attaching a copy. Later in the day the Delegate from Venezuela sought me out to say that the President of Venezuela, impressed by a con- versation he had had with you in Panama, had determined to build a Nuclear Research Center at Caracas and had obtained an appropriation of $50 million from his Government for the purpose. No help, other than technical ad- vice, will be asked from the United States. Respectfully, CutsSau 3 4) 2 The President The White House REPRODUCED AT THE DWIGHT. D.
