A special security board has voted two to one to bar J. Robert Oppenheimer '26, famed atomic scientist, from further access to the nation's top scientific secrets.
The board, it was disclosed last night, reached the conclusion that Oppenheimer is "a loyal citizen" of the United States but is nevertheless a security risk.
Attorneys for the scientist immediately appealed to the full Atomic Energy Commission to take the case "under immediate consideration." They also requested permission to file a written brief by Monday and to appear in oral argument before the commission.
