	Edward U. Condon Papers, American Philosophical Society
		Edward Uhler Condon was a theoretical physicist at Princeton University and Westinghouse Laboratories who later served as director of the National Bureau of Standards (1945-1951), and as the director of research and development (1951-1954) and consulting physicist (1954-1974) at Corning Glass Works.
		Condon with S.E.M. Born in Alamagordo, New Mexico, on March 2, 1902, E. Condon spent a life in theoretical physics that brought him into many of the major developments in the field, from the quantum revolution of the 1920s to the nuclear and electronic revolution of the 1950s and 1960s.
		Condon's influence with McMahon was instrumental in the formulation of the McMahon-Douglas bill of August 1946, which established the Atomic Energy Commission, which safeguarded a civilian role in overseeing the development of nuclear energy and weaponry.

	WU Libraries: Edward U. Condon, 1902-1974
		The extraordinary career of Edward Uhler Condon, president of the American Physical Society (1946) and of the American Association of Physics Teachers (1964) ended with his death in Boulder, Colorado, on 26 March 1974.
		Born in Alamogordo, New Mexico, on 2 March 1902, Edward Condon was one of the young American scientists who made the pilgrimage in 1926 to Gottingen and Munich and grasped immediately the significance and power of the new quantum theory.
		Younger physicists who may wish to emulate Condon's courageous public record as an outspoken defender of truth, civil liberties, and peace may lose sight of the momumental research contributions that won him the admiration of his fellow scientists and the respect of the public, which permitted him to make a major impact on public affairs.

		Condon was quoted as saying: 'I'm almost inclined to think such studies ought to be discontinued unless someone comes up with a new idea on how to approach the problem...
		Condon, furious that he had not immediately been informed that McDonald knew of the [Low] memo, told Saunders, 'For an act like that, you ought to be ruined professionally.'" "Saunders countered by saying that Condon and Low seemed to be treating the symptoms rather than the disease.
		Condon asked why Levine had not brought the [Low] memo to him, and Levine said that Condon's public and private statements had indicated that there was little likelihood of effective communication.

		Condon, with his office some distance away, did not appear frequently, and some of the staff felt that it was often frustrating to try to reach him.
		At Condon's request, she wrote a follow-up letter in which she added that the tone of the memo indicated that Low was not unbiased from the beginning.
		Condon then wrote her: "My position is that that letter is a confidential matter between the two of us and that for you to disclose it to anyone else would be gravely unethical." But after long consideration, Mrs.

		Condon stated that if he felt it necessary to obtain an official CIA comment he would make a separate distinct entry into CIA not related to contacts he has with NPlC.
		While NPIC's work for Condon was done quietly and without preparation of written reports, it is obvious that important photographic evidence of UFOs probably has gone to NPIC via normal CIA intelligence channels before and after that period.
		Condon was public figure and the CIA could not allow its unofficial interest to be disclosed through its contacts with Condon's people.

		As Condon erased the board, he asked, "Are you taking advanced calculus?" The student said he was, and Condon explained the article in advanced calculus.

		Condon's unabashed liberalism, energetic advocacy of arms control and internationalism in science, and high-level government profile placed him on a collision course with HUAC during the formative years of the red scare.
		Condon aided the atomic scientists' opposition to the May-Johnson bill, which contained strict secrecy regulations and placed atomic energy under military control, and he and Leo Szilard helped to spearhead the scientists' case that atomic energy should be under civilian, not military, authority.
		Condon's battle with HUAC left his career and reputation intact, but his experience with cold war anticommunism was nonetheless a sobering one.

		Such a dichotomy was possible because the study was a project for which the director, Condon, had sole authority; it was not the work of a committee whose members would have to reach some consensus conclusion.
		The impact of the Report was thus largely due to Condon's leveraging his prestigious scientific reputation into an acceptance of his own personal views as representing the apparent outcome of a scientific investigation.
		That is my skeptical view of the Condon Report, but the whole document is now on line, posted by the National Capital Area Skeptics group, with their own take on it, of course, so the best thing to do is to read it for yourself (but don't stop with Condon's "Summary of the Study").

	Dr. Thornton Page's Review of the Condon Report
		The Condon report is not brief (989 pages), nor very humorous, and I cannot say that I have read every word of its 24 chapters and 24 appendices ranging over such physical topics as optics, radar, zodiacal light, plasma, and sonic boom, to history, perception, and psychology.
		Condon argues that his Colorado Project explained the majority of cases as normal phenomena, examined the "far-out" hypothesis of extraterrestrial visitors, and found (no direct evidence favoring it.
		For instance, there is a definite trend in the shapes reported from "saucers" in 1947 to "sickles" in 1960 to "cigars" in 1966, and also the eastward travel of "flaps" (maxima in UFO activity) circling the earth in about 15 years.

		Whatever Condon privately believed, when the voluminous report was published in 1968, it concluded, "Our general conclusion is that nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 years that has added to scientific knowledge.
