The Manhattan Project - Bush was Anti-Semitic Against Einstein
I tweaked the first paragraph... On August 2, 1939, Albert Einstein signed the famous Einstein-Szilard letter to Pres. Roosevelt advocating the prevention of the Nazis developing the atomic bomb and for the US to develop it first. Bush played a critical role in persuading the US Government to undertake a crash program to create the atomic bomb]. When the NDRC was formed, the Committee on Uranium was placed under it, reporting directly to Bush as the Uranium Committee. Bush reorganized the committee, strengthening its scientific component by adding Tuve, George B. Pegram, Jesse W. Beams, Ross Gunn and Harold Urey. When the OSRD was formed in June 1941, the Uranium Committee was again placed directly under Bush. For security reasons, its name was changed to the Section S-1. Although it's popularly believed that Bush didn't ask Einstein to work on the bomb because he viewed the genius as a security risk, it's been reported that Bush was anti-Semitic.<ref]citation needed</] 71.196.42.128 (talk) 01:30, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
