Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Governor of New York and 32nd President of the United States, Signed Letter to Brien McMahon, born James O'Brien McMahon (October 6, 1903 Â July 28, 1952), December 16, 1940 on White House Stationary, TLS (Typed Letter Signed). McMahon was an American lawyer and politician who served in the United States Senate (as a Democrat from Connecticut) from 1945 to 1952. McMahon was a major figure in the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission, through his authorship of the Atomic Energy Act of 1946 (the McMahon Act). McMahon served as chairman of the Senate Special Committee on Atomic Energy, and the first chairman of the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. McMahon was a key figure in the early years of atomic weapons development and an advocate for the civilian (rather than military) control of nuclear development in the USA. Also, in 1952, McMahon proposed an "army" of young Americans to act as "missionaries of democracy", which sowed the seeds for what later became the Peace Corps. Dimensions are: with frame - 13 inches tall X 10 7/8 inches wide. All measurements are approximate. Condition: No noted damage.
