10/08/1942 AD met
Brigadier General Leslie R. Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, visits Berkeley and meets with Oppenheimer, who gave him a report on bomb design.
Groves was interested in Oppenheimer's proposal to establish a separate bomb design laboratory. When they met again in Chicago a week later, he invited Oppenheimer to discuss the issue.
Groves had to catch a train to New York, so he asked Oppenheimer to accompany him so that they could continue the discussion. Groves, Oppenheimer, and Colonel James C. Marshall and Lieutenant Colonel Kenneth Nichols all squeezed into a single compartment where they talked about how a bomb laboratory could be created, and how it would function.
