Conant supported Truman’s use of the bomb, which he believed, with Churchill, would save more lives than it cost. Truman gave him the Medal of Merit, President Johnson the Medal of Freedom, President Nixon the Atomic Pioneers Award. He was a great man, devoted to duty, honor, country and his university.
