The 3 Horsemen, and Corruption of the Port Chicago Navy Court of Inquiry.
"I
first learned from James Conant's letter of 27 July 1944 to Oppenheimer
that some unidentified Nobel Prize winners had visited Los Alamos precisely
at the time the first Los Alamos reports and analyses of the Port Chicago
explosion had been available, but Conant's letter to Oppenheimer does
not identify those Nobel Laureates.
A close reading of the General's
office logbooks, which are held by the National Archives at College Park,
Maryland, first discloses that on 10 July 1944 at 11:00 A.M. in Washington,
"Gen. Groves held a telephone conversation with Dr. Oppenheimer at
Los Alamos. Gen. Groves to talk to JBC
[James Bryant Conant]
and RCT
[Richard
Chace Tolman]
re: 3 horsemen's visit." On 12 July 1944 at 10:45 A.M. the General's
office log reports, "Gen. Groves called Dr. Oppenheimer, Santa Fe,
N.M. re: visit of 3 horsemen to Y. To arrive July 31st and department
August 3rd. Gen. Groves to send written invitations to all three.""
