Alan T. Waterman was among 33 persons honored by President Johnson on December 6 with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award. His citation paid tribute to his far‐sighted advocacy of federal support for the sciences, and of using government resources to improve the quality and increase the thrust of basic research.
