(Atomic Bomb) Two works relating to J. Robert Oppenheimer and the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty - from the Warren Heckrotte Collection Place Published: Washington, D.C. Publisher: U.S. Government Printing Office Date Published: 1954 & 1963 Description: Comprises: United States Atomic Energy Commission. In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer. Transcript of Hearing before Personnel Security Board. Washington, D.C. April 12, 1954, through May 6, 1954. [2], 993 pp. This is the classified, unredacted version - only a redacted version was available to the public at the time. It was not fully declassified and made available to the public in its complete form until 2014. Nuclear Test Ban Treaty: Hearings before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, Eighty-eighth Congress, first session, on Executive M... the Treaty banning nuclear weapon tests in the atmosphere, in outer space, and underwater, signed at Moscow on August 5, 1963... vi, 1028 pp. Each 23.3x14.7 cm (9¼x5¾"), original printed wrappers. Two significant works in the development of and the attempts to curtail nuclear weapons. These were Warren Heckrotte's copies. Mr. Heckrotte was well-known in the world of rare maps, having formed an important collection of maps and books related to cartography that PBA dispersed in a series of auctions beginning in 1975. But before he was a map collector, Mr. Heckrotte was a nuclear physicist. He began collecting rare books and maps in the early 1960’s, when called to Geneva, Switzerland, to add scientific expertise, as a nuclear physicist at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, to the ongoing nuclear test ban treaty talks between the United States and the Soviet Union. In his off hours he would rummage through the book stores and stalls of that city. It was in his official capacity, however, that he would have obtained and made use of the present texts. His pencil ownership signature is on the front wrapper of the test ban treaty, and written in ink on the spine of the hearing transcript is "OPPENHEIMER TRANSCRIPT," likely in Mr. Heckrotte's hand. There was a second volume to the Oppenheimer transcript, "Texts of principal documents and letters of personnel security board, general manager, commissioners, Washington, D.C. May 27, 1954, through June 29, 1964," 67 pages. It is not present here. Condition: Expected wear from use and storage, 1st with front wrapper partially detached; about very good.
