This Joint Memorial formally requests the United States Department of Energy to overturn a 1954 decision by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) that revoked the security clearance of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. The memorial highlights Dr. Oppenheimer's crucial role as the civilian director of the Manhattan Project during World War II, which developed the first nuclear weapons, and his instrumental part in establishing the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. It also references his later recognition with the Enrico Fermi Award and acknowledgments from the U.S. Senate for his service, noting that numerous historians, scientists, and former laboratory directors support vacating the AEC's decision, which is described as a miscarriage of justice.
