The letter is a response to a request for information about the status of the Atomic Energy plant in Portsmouth, Ohio. The Chief Engineer's office of the Atomic Energy Commission confirmed that the project was active and under construction, contingent on appropriations by Congress. President Eisenhower had requested funds for the project, and it was being constructed in a way that would allow for the use of certain units as they become available. Details about construction schedules were difficult to obtain due to the nature of the plant. The letter provides reassurance that the project is moving forward.
