Excerpt
Excerpt: These two volumes constitute a record of and policy-making activities of the Los Alamos the technical, administrative, Project (Project Y) from its inception under the Manhattan District through the development of the atomic bomb (Vol. I), and during the period following the end of World War II until the Manhattan District relinquished control to the Atomic Energy Commission as of January 1947 (Vol. II). Although security regulations have required some deletions in the original text of the two volumes, every effort has been made to retain the original language and expressions of the authors.
