@WillyLaurence @LeoSzil Agreed! If there is a way for nuclear technology to be harnessed peacefully that would be a huge advancement for mankind! #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@Albert_E1nstein @RichFeynman13 @LeoSzil @FrankDRoos Do not regret your signature! The project had good scientific intentions! The military and government were not morally or ethically responsible in using our research #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@RichFeynman13 These bombs should not have been used in Japan or Germany. All human life is equal #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

President Truman has made a very uninformed decision. If he had read the Franck Report he would have understood that the use of atomic weapons directly on Japan was not necessary. An open demonstration would have been sufficient for surrender. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@RichFeynman13 I am not sure if this bomb advanced mankind or took it backwards. I see growing tensions in our future #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

My sorrow and anger cannot be expressed, yet again. My efforts with the Franck Report obviously had no effects on the US military. My heart and prayers are with the Japanese population. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@Albert_E1nstein I appreciate your optimism! I just do not share the same feelings... #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@Albert_E1nstein I appreciate that, but it is not evident that my efforts with the Franck Report had little to no influence on the government. I feel defeated #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

I have officially decided to switch fields and study photosynthesis. My voice will be clearly heard in that field. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

Mr. President, the bomb dropped yesterday should not be labeled as a success. The effects on the Japanese population is and will be increasingly horrific. “In no other type of warfare does the advantage lie so heavily with the aggressor.” #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

I cannot fully voice my disappointment in the US government for using the atomic bomb on the Japanese. A shameful day in American history. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@LeoSzil @PrezHTruman Excellent! Demonstration is the best way to seek a surrender! Maybe Japan will rethink their recent decision not to end the war #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@HenryStim @PrezHTruman Secretary Stimson, I just do not believe that the Japanese people deserve to face the brutality of the bomb. The aftermath will last years. There is no morality in the use of the bomb. Not for the US or Japan #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

I regret to inform you all that @HenryStim has officially rejected our recommendations written in the Franck Report. @PrezHTruman never even looked at the document. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@LeoSzil I completely agree! Although I doubt the US govt will look at this as anything less than a motivator to use the bomb #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

I am shocked by the events today at Alamogordo. While the test of the atomic bomb was successful, this should not be declared a victory. The ramifications of the atomic bomb are now being fully understood as truly horrific. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

If the Franck Report had been passed on to @PrezHTruman this demonstration could have been used more effectively. If the location had been changed, Japan would have seen how horrific this bomb can be thus leading to their surrender. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@HenryStim @PrezHTruman No amount of resources is worth the tragedies that will come from the destruction of this bomb. I cannot support the military’s use of this bomb on civilians. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@HenryStim This is a war-time issue. If the bomb is dropped directly on Japan then peace will be impossible #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

I will continue to fight for the development of nuclear energy to be placed within civilian control. The government and military do not have the moral capacity to continue to hold such privileges. #2018CUAB

[James Franck @FranckJmy]

@HenryStim @PrezHTruman The Franck Report warns against the use of the bomb directly upon the Japanese. Instead a demonstration should be used to trigger a surrender. This directly affects the war and should be shown to @PrezHTruman #2018CUAB
