Tell us more. How long did he remain a member? A week? Forty years? A card-carrying Communist at Los Alamos in the inner circle of the Manhattan Project? Or had he left the CP before than , just as Oppenheimer had (long) left it? Groves kept Bohm from a clearance, why not Morrison? (For example of an interesting question.) Tell us more of this most interesting phase of his life. Is that ref the Congressional Record, or what is it? GangofOne 21:42, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Removed, now broken, link to SETI.org. I have always admired Professor Morrison. It is a shame that SETI.org has dropped this link being the influence he had for their use of microwaves. He seem to be born of the same enthusiasm as Richard P. Feynman. (IchBin 19:42, 1 January 2006 (UTC))

Speaking of Feynman, I've heard that he and Morrison shared an office while they were both at Cornell. Does anyone know if this is true? Rglovejoy 02:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
