Three senior staff members of the Atomic Energy
Commission have been selected to receive the AEC's Distin-
guished Service Award for outstanding contributions to
the nation's atomic energy programs. This is the high-
est award the Commission can bestow on its employees.
Selected to receive the Award are: L. Manning
Muntzing, Director of Regulation; Joseph L. Smith,
Director, Division of Contracts; and Lt. Gen. H. C.
Donnelly (USAF-Ret.), Manager of the AEC's Albuquerque
(N.M.) Operations Office.
AEC Chairman Dixy Lee Ray will present the Award
to Mr. Smith on March 22 in the AEC Headquarters auditor-
ium at Germantown, Md., citing him for his leadership
in contracting activities affecting all AEC programs.

major administrative and managerial assignments in the
agency's Headquarters and field offices. He was named
Director of the Division of ContractE; in 1965.
Mr. Muntzing will receive his Award on March 29

licensing and regulatory programs. Mr. Muntzing, who
joined the AEC in October 1971 as Director of Regulation,

meeting the energy crisis through the streamlining of
governmental regulatory processes and eliciting improve-
ments in the activities of the nuclear industry, while

Gen. Donnelly will receive his Award for his direction,
administration, and improved performance of the highly
complex weapons production programs of the AEC. The Award
will be presented to him at Albuquerque by one of the AEC
Commissioners at a later date. Through the efforts of
Gen. Donnelly, who has served as Manager of the Commission's
Albuquerque Operations Office since 1968, there has been a
significant increase in productivity as is evidenced by
the AEC's ability to meet scheduled delivery commitments
to the Department of Defense during a three-year period
marked by reductions in personnel and funding levels.
Distinguished Service Award recipients are selected
annually by the Commission in agency--wide considerations.
The Award, consists of a citation, medal, and lapel pin.
