The 11 toms at · ork11 eJ<hibits have been highly successful in demon­strating the peaceful applications of atomic energy. This particular eJ<hibit has completed appearances in Vienna and Belgrade, and is scheduled to proceed to Lisbon after its showing in Madrid. Some 120,000 persons are eJCpected to visit the eJ<hibit during its four week showing in Madrid. 
The eJ<hibit demonstrates that atomic energy is being widely used as a routine matter in nearly every field of ,i.merican endeavor, including industry, agriculture, and medicine. li.S in other cities, it will be used to train scientists and engineers in reactor and gam.~a pool techniques. There also will be organized seminars for students. The operation of the eJ<hibit represents a joint United States-Spanish effort, for Spanish scientists will participate as members of the teaching and scientific staff. 
1 pproval is requested as soon as possible in view of the short interval remaining to opening day. Upon approval of the suggested message, the Department proposes to transmit it to our Embassy in Madrid for appro­priate use at the Exhibit.
