At a desk covered with documents, members of the Federation of American Scientists confer while an assistant takes notes nearby. Among those present was William A. Higinbotham, the first chairman of the organization founded in 1945 by Manhattan Project scientists to advocate civilian control of atomic energy and public education. Higinbotham later became known as the creator of 'Tennis for Two', one of the earliest interactive video games. The footage was made in 1946 in connection with the Federation's Office of Atomic Information.
