On August 7 of 1789 The United States Lighthouse Service is created by an act of the First Congress signed by President George Washington. The Act provided for the federal government to assume the costs and operations of existing and new lighthouses, including the one at Sandy Hook built in 1764, now the oldest operating lighthouse in the nation. In 1989, a joint Congressional resolution sponsored in the House by Representative William Hughes of New Jersey and signed by President Ronald Reagan designated August 7 as “National Lighthouse Day.” On August 6 of 1945 The atomic bomb is dropped on Hiroshima, resulting in deaths of an estimated 90,000-140,000 people, including those who died from burns, injuries, and acute radiation sickness in the following weeks and months. The decision to begin the bomb's development through what was designated as The Manhattan Project is widely attributed to a letter dated August 2, 1939, written by Albert Einstein, then a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, along with physicist Leo Szilard, sent to President Franklin D. Roosevelt warning Roosevelt of the potential for Nazi Germany to develop atomic bombs and urging the US to launch its own nuclear program. This letter is widely regarded as a pivotal document that helped initiate the Manhattan Project, the US effort to develop atomic weapons during World War II. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the director of The Manhattan Project, later served as director of the Institute for Advanced Study, from 1947 to 1966. |
