York Papers MSS 0107 1 Descriptive Summary Languages: English Contributing Institution: Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego 9500 Gilman Drive La Jolla 92093-0175 Title: Herbert F. York Papers Identifier/Call Number: MSS 0107 Physical Description: 45.7 Linear feet (102 archives boxes and 16 oversize folders) Date (inclusive): 1958 - 1999 Abstract: Papers of Herbert Frank York, founding director of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (1952-58); member of the Presidential Scientific Advisory Committee under Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson; chief scientist of the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA); first chancellor of the University of California, San Diego; and director emeritus of UCSD's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. Scope and Content of Collection Papers of Herbert Frank York, founding director of the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (1952-58); member of the Presidential Scientific Advisory Committee under Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson; chief scientist of the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA); first chancellor of the University of California, San Diego; and director emeritus of UCSD's Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. The papers highlight York's work on nuclear arms negotiations and disarmament, particularly after 1969, and contain correspondence, reports, memos, drafts of articles and books, news clippings, autobiographical sketches, date books and wall calendars, invitations, teaching materials, lectures, speeches, interviews, and video tapes. York's involvement in the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency and Presidential Scientific Advisory Committee is documented, as is York's role in the debate over the Antiballistic Missile (ABM). Absent from the collection are papers related to York's directorship of the Livermore Laboratory and his files as UCSD chancellor. ACCESSIONS PROCESSED IN 1992 The bulk of this material is correspondence, reports, teaching materials, drafts of York's books, and audio-visual materials. The papers generally date between 1961, when York moved to San Diego to become the University's first Chancellor, and 1987. Files generated by York prior to 1961 may be found in Related Collections. Many of the papers--correspondence, writings, and reports-- highlight York's efforts with nuclear arms negotiations and control, particularly after his 1969 anti-ABM testimonies before Congress. These papers also provide valuable historical recounts of events and organizations created after World War II, including a history of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA), and the reminiscences of York and his correspondents, mainly scientists (see CORRESPONDENCE series). York's correspondence with leaders in science and public affairs (particularly Hans Bethe, James Killian, George Kistiakowsky, [Wolfgang] Pief Panofsky, I.I. Rabi, Victor Weisskopf, and Jerome Weisner) is notable and to a lesser extent, members of the Senate and Congress who were involved in nuclear arms issues. Not present in the collection are materials related to York's graduate career or work on the Manhattan Project, to his role as Director at Lawrence Livermore (1952-1958) and his files as UCSD Chancellor (1961-1964, 1970-1972). Arranged in nine series: 1) BIOGRAPHICAL, 2) DIARIES, 3) INVITATIONS, 4) CORRESPONDENCE, 5) ORGANIZATIONS, 6) SUBJECT FILES, 7) UC SAN DIEGO, 8) WRITINGS, and 9) AUDIO-VISUAL MATERIALS. ACCESSION PROCESSED IN 2000 The accession to the Herbert F. York Papers processed in 2000 contains photocopies of declassified cable messages, correspondence, reports, plenary statements made at the United Nations, background information, briefing material, and draft treaty texts related to York's work as the United States ambassador and chief negotiator at the Comprehensive Test Ban negotiations in Geneva. It spans the period 1977-1980 and consists of a single series. Arranged alphabetically in one series: 1) COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN TREATY NEGOTIATIONS. ACCESSION PROCESSED IN 2004 The accession processed in 2004 contains materials which are complementary to those found in the previous accessions. Included are biographical files, correspondence, committee work files, York's writings, speeches, conference presentations, Comprehensive Test Ban negotiation materials, subject files, and book production files for Race to Oblivion: A Participant's View of the Arms Race. The series titles and their arrangement mirror those of the previous accessions. The materials highlight York's effort with nuclear arms negotiations and control and they supply additional information on history of arms race and disarmament and on key leaders in science, public affairs, and members of government involved Herbert F. York Papers MSS 0107 2 in nuclear arms issues. Arranged in nine series: 1) MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS, 2) CORRESPONDENCE, 3) ORGANIZATIONS, 4) WRITINGS, 5) WRITINGS BY OTHERS, 6) COMPREHENSIVE TEST BAN, 7) SUBJECT FILES, 8) RACE TO OBLIVION RESEARCH MATERIALS, and 9) ORIGINALS OF PRESERVATION PHOTOCOPIES. Biography Herbert Frank York was born on November 24, 1921, in Rochester, New York. He earned B.A. and M.S. degrees at the University of Rochester in 1942 and 1945, and the Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley, in 1949, all in experimental physics. His early career as a physicist and military science advisor (1943-58) focused on the development of nuclear weapons, while his later career as an advisor, consultant and professor have focussed on disarmament. In 1943, while still a graduate student, York was recruited by the University of California Radiation Laboratory to work on uranium production for the Manhattan Project. After the war, York finished his graduate work at UC Berkeley in 1949, and in 1950, with Hugh Bradner, planned and designed Operation Greenhouse, the atomic test at Eniwetok for diagnostic measurements of atomic blast. The following year he joined the physics faculty of UC Berkeley. In 1952, E. O. Lawrence asked York to prepare plans for a new weapons development laboratory, today known as Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Following Atomic Energy Commission approval for the lab, York served as director of the lab from 1952-1958. It was during this period that he began informing U.S. defense policy-makers, serving on Army, Air Force and Defense Department advisory groups (1953-57: USAF Science Advisory Board; 1955-58: Secy Defense Ballistic Missile Advisory Committee; 1956-58: US Army Science Advisory Panel). York left Livermore for Washington, D.C., in 1958 to accept two positions within the Office of the Secretary of Defense: Director of Defense Research and Engineering and the Chief Scientist of the Advanced Research Project's Agency (ARPA, later known as DARPA). Before leaving Washington, York also served as the youngest member on Eisenhower's Presidential Science Advisory Committee (1957-1958). He served on PSAC again under Johnson in 1964-68. In 1961, York returned to the west coast to become the first chancellor of the University of California, San Diego. After moving to UCSD, York maintained his involvement in high-level defense policy-making. President Kennedy appointed York to the General Advisory Committee of the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency (USACDA) in 1962, a position he held until 1969. He has been on the board of trustees of two not-for-profit think tanks since the 1960s, the Aerospace Corporation and the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). York acted also as an advisor to IDA's JASON division, a high-level science advisory group that York helped establish as Chief Scientist of ARPA in the late 1950s. York returned to Washington, D.C., (1977-81) to be a senior consultant to the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 1977-1981 and served on the Defense Science Board in 1978-1981. During the Carter Administration, York served as U.S. ambassador to the Comprehensive Test Ban talks (1978-80). At UCSD, York's tenure as UCSD chancellor was brief. He stepped down from the post in 1964, preferring to join the physics faculty. In 1969-1970, he was dean of graduate studies and in 1970-1972 was re-appointed as acting chancellor after William McGill's departure from that position until the appointment of William McElroy. York set up a program at UCSD called Science, Technology and Public Affairs to teach about and do research related to the arms race. After his four-year leave in Washington, D.C., York was appointed director of UCSD's Institute on Global Conflict on Cooperation, whose mission is "...to promote academic study of peace and security issues on all campuses of the university." York retired in 1988 and is currently director emeritus. He has written three books on his experiences as a defense advisor, Race to Oblivion (1970), The Advisors (1976), and Making Weapons, Talking Peace (1987). Publication Rights Publication rights are held by the creator of the collection. Preferred Citation Herbert F. York Papers, MSS 107. Special Collections & Archives, UC San Diego.

  • William Aaron Nierenberg Feb. 13,1919
    William Aaron Nierenberg Feb. 13,1919- William Aaron Nierenberg was born on February 13, 1919 at 228 E. 13th St. in New York City on what was then the Lower East Side -- it is now the "East Village". While it is true that his father and his father's family had lived on the Lower East Side (Houston Street) when they had emigrated to America (his father in 1906), it was an accident that his birthplace was there. His parents, Joseph and Minnie (Drucker) had moved to Manhattan from the Bronx to be near the Sloan Lying in Hospital for his birth. His parents had lost their first infant child to tuberculosis of the brain from tainted milk and his mother was naturally very nervous about the new child's safety. He only lived in Manhattan for the next four months and the rest of his years in New York City, both before and after his marriage, were spent in the Bronx except for time in Paris as a physics student. There is essentially no specific knowledge of his antecedents. His paternal grandfather's given name was Hirsch and his paternal grandmother's name was Bertha. He had no knowledge whatsoever of his maternal forebears. His parent's gravestone showed his grandfather (therefore his father and he himself) to be a Levi, of the tribe blessed by the Lord. His mother's gravestone describes her as a "daughter of Abraham" since her antecedents were unknown to the burial society. (Many years later. most surprisingly, her birth certificate showed up! This is the one that Aba's daughter gave me a copy of.

  • 1996 Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion U.S. Air Force
    AIRCRAFT NUCLEAR PROPULSION: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY Prepared for the UNITED STATES AIR FORCE HISTORY AND MUSEUMS PROGRAM by Bernard J. Snyder MAY 3, 1996 PREFACE This is the fifth in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Beginning in 1946, the Army Air Forces (AAF) first sponsored a study on the Nuclear Energy for Propulsion (NEPA) project. The effort progressed over the next several years after reviews by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). From this emerged the joint USAF-AEC Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion (ANP) program. Ten more years of studies were undertaken by governmental laboratories and industrial firms until the Kennedy administration cancelled the effort in 1961. There was, however, some useful follow-on work on high temperature materials and high performance reactors under AEC direction. Also, some of the developmental work continued under space nuclear programs. Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion is a comprehensive, unclassified, annotated bibliography of the U.S. government program to develop a nuclear-powered aircraft. The contract author, Dr. Bernard J. Snyder, is president of Energy & Management Consultants Corporation, based in Potomac, Maryland. He is uniquely qualified for this task by virtue of nearly forty years' experience in the nuclear energy field, including government agencies and the private sector.

    Scientists and the Ethics of Cold War Weapons Research Sarah Bridger Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Sarah Bridger All rights reserved ABSTRACT Scientists and the Ethics of Cold War Weapons Research Sarah Bridger This dissertation examines scientists‘ views concerning the ethics of U.S. weapons research and military advising, through the changing politics and economy of the Cold War. After the development of the atomic bomb, the Manhattan Project generation of physicists posed a series of troubling ethical questions: To what extent are scientists responsible for the military applications of their work? What are the political obligations of technical experts? What are the ideal relations among academia, industry, and the military? During the post-Sputnik science boom, many elite physicists used their policy influence to encourage government support for scientific research and to secure stronger arms control measures, an effort that culminated in the ratification of the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963. But after the enthusiastic expansion of science advising in the late 1950s, the war in Vietnam sorely tested scientists‘ support for weapons research and government work. Key controversies that elicited substantial ethical debate included the use of chemical defoliants and gases in Vietnam and the participation of the secretive Jason scientists in developing an electronic barrier to prevent North Vietnamese incursions into South Vietnam. By the end of the decade, campuses and professional societies were riven by clashes over defense contracting and academic ―neutrality‖ in the context of the war in Vietnam.
