Wins Major Victory in Atom Secrets Sharing Dispute
Members appeared to win a major victory in the dispute over whether atomic secrets may be shared with other nations. Lawmakers greeted the presidential olive branch after a closed door meeting of state department military atomic and congressional policy makers. Truman told the Senate House atomic committee through Acheson that any action on sharing the atom must have both Congress and the executive branch. A key factor is the United States dependence on Britain and Canada for uranium, the material for atomic weapons.
