Printed shortly after President Harry Truman announced to the world the development of the Hydrogen bomb (H-bomb), the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy issued this 44 page report on the Hydrogen bomb. Printed in July 1950. "In the fall of 1949 the chairman of the joint committee directed the committee staff to study the hydrogen bomb in relation to internal control of atomic energy. It is hoped that the following pages, prepared by the staff at the chairman's request, will assist the joint committee in considering this problem. All statements have been meticulously screened as to include unclassified and publishable information only." Original and very very interesting. Printed by the United States Government Printing Office, Washington. The report deals with such questions and information such as; "It might be possible construct an H-bomb whose blast damage in a circle of 10 miles radius would be comparable to that which occurred at Hiroshima in a circle of 1 mile radius" "Is the hydrogen bomb a more or less important weapon than the atomic bomb? Might hydrogen bombs prove to be decisive in war, or has their significance been exaggerated?"
