DECLARATION OF POLICY, FINDINGS, AND PURPOSE "SECTION 1. (a) FINDINGS AND DECLARATION. Research and experimentation in the field of nuclear chain reaction have attained the stage at which the release of atomie energy on a large scale is practical. The significance of the atomie bomb for military purposes is evident. The effect of the use of atomie energy for eivilian purposes upon the social, economic, and political structures of today cannot now be determined. It is a field in which unknown factors are involved. Therefore, any legislation will necessarily be subject to revision from time to time. It is reasonable to anticipate, however, that tapping this new source of energy will cause profound changes in our present way of life. Accordingly, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the people of the United States that, subject at all times to the paramount objective of assuring the common defense and security, the development and utilization of atomie energy shall, so far as practicable, be directed toward improving the publie welfare, increasing the standard of living, strengthening free competition in private enterprise, and promoting world peace.
