Lewis L. Strauss was an American businessman, public official, and naval officer who served as the chairman of the [[Atomic Energy Commission]] (AEC) from 1953 to 1958. He was a staunch Cold Warrior and adamantly opposed to the spread of nuclear weapons. Strauss was well-informed about [[Dimona]] and [[Israel]]'s nuclear program by the time he left the AEC, but there is no evidence he raised questions about it while in government or discussed it after leaving office.[^1]
