During the 1970s, Senator Jackson had raised the need for a "National Sino-Soviet Center" in conversations with Kenneth B. Pyle, director of the University of Washington Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. He then enlisted Edward Carlson, president and CEO of United Airlines, and Thornton Wilson, CEO of the Boeing Company, to assist in creating an institution that would bridge the gap between those responsible for foreign policy decision making and the specialists located in universities and research institutes in the U.S. and abroad. After Jackson's death, the National Bureau of Asian and Soviet Research was officially established with grants from the Henry M. Jackson Foundation and The Boeing Company. Kenneth B. Pyle served as the organization's founding president. In 1992, the organization dropped "and Soviet" to become The National Bureau of Asian Research. More

Livermore, CA: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, 2006. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. Wraps. 52 pages, plus covers. Illustrations (most in color). Cover has slight wear and soiling. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is an American federal research facility in Livermore, California, United States, founded by the University of California in 1952. A Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), it is primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and managed and operated by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC. In 2012, the laboratory had the synthetic chemical element livermorium named after it. LLNL was established in 1952 as the University of California Radiation Laboratory at Livermore, an offshoot of the existing UC Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley. It was intended to spur innovation and provide competition to the nuclear weapon design laboratory at Los Alamos in New Mexico, that developed the first atomic weapons. Edward Teller and Ernest Lawrence, director of the Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley, are regarded as the co-founders of the Livermore facility. Lawrence tapped 32-year-old Herbert York, to run Livermore. Under York, the Lab had four main programs: Project Sherwood (the Magnetic Fusion Program), Project Whitney (the weapons design program), diagnostic weapon experiments, and a basic physics program. York and the new lab embraced the Lawrence "big science" approach, tackling challenging projects with physicists, chemists, engineers, and computational scientists working together in multidisciplinary teams.
