"In a letter of October 12, 1945, the Hon. Robert P. Patterson expressed
the appreciation of the War Department to the young scientists and other
technically-trained men who contributed so greatly to the victory of the
Allies in the production of the Atomic Bomb. Included in this group
were those enlisted men of the Special Engineer Detachment who, since the
beginning of the Manhattan Engineer District, have so generously and
efficiently contributed their best efforts to the successful completion of
the task assigned to the Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation by the
War Department. Late in 1944 and early in 1945, a much larger number of scientific personnel were needed. and a large portion of this number was supplied from the Army. Without the Special Engineer Detachment men who were assigned to the various departments of K-25, it is not too much to say that production would have been delayed considerably. Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation is therefore very grateful for the assistance given us by the enlisted men assigned to our staff. On behalf of the Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation and the supervisory staff of the Oak Ridge plant, this opportunity is taken to thank these men, and to wish them great success in their future activities." - George T. Felbeck; Vice-President; Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corporation; Oak Ridge, TN; 1945 |
