MEMORANDUM FOR: Executive Director-Comptroller
THROUGH : Deputy Director for SupporIg 2 6 JAN 1966
SUBJECT : Engineers' Week - Nomination for Awards
1. This memorandum transmits a letter for your signature in reply
to a letter from Mr. John M. Ide, National Science Foundation.
2. The attached letter from Mr_. Ide solicits nominations of young
men in the fields of engineering, architecture, and scientific activities
for special recognition during Engineers' Week. The Agency made no
2.1A nominations last year. The previous year OSA was
nominated, but not selected as an award winner, e gency's candidate
an architect in the office of Logistics, received the
1961 National Capital Award.
3. We forwarded a copy of the letter from Mr. Ide to the four
Deputy Directors and requested nominations. The Deputy Director for
Science and Technology named an outstanding GS-15
physical scientist in the Office of Special Projects, as a potential candi-
date for the National Capital Award, would be an excellent
candidate, but the sensitivity of his work in the Agency limits us at this
time from giving enough information to justify his consideration as a
candidate for public recognition during Engineers' Week. No other
Agency candidates were named. It is recommended that you sign the
attached letter advising Mr. Ide that the Agency will not nominate a
candidate this year. The deadline date for submission of nominations
is 28 January 1966. 2.1A

TO: Engineering Organizations in the Washington, D. C. Area
You are invited to nominate a staff member from your organization for
special recognition during Engineers' Week.
A similar invitation is being extended to other organizations having
engineering, architectural, or scientific activities in the Metropoli-
tan Washington area. Three young professional men, one architect, one
applied scientist, and one engineer, will be honored on February 23,
1966 as part of the contribution of the D. C. Council of Engineering
and Architectural Societies and the Washington Academy of Sciences to
the nation-wide observance of Engineers' Week. Nominations must be
received no later than January 28, 1966.
The major objective of the program is the development of professional
and public awareness of the contributions made by younger members of
these professions and a stimulation of interest in the engineering,
architectural and scientific areas by young people who are preparing
for a professional career. It is hoped that this increased awareness
on the part of young people in high school and college will result in
an increased supply of competent personnel into our professions.
Enclosed is a sheet outlining the criteria for nominations. The award
to each of the three winners will include a suitably engraved gold key,
known as the National Capital Award, a certificate, to be presented at
a luncheon to be held on Wednesday, February 23, 1966 at the Presidential
Arms, and a two-day trip to New York and vicinity.
Sincerely yours,
Chairman
Professional Awards Committee
