R Arneson

R. Gordon Arneson was a prominent painter, military leader, and federal employee. He painted in acrylics, holding a dozen solo shows, including ones at the Foreign Service Club and National Arboretum. While a lieutenant in the U.S. Army in 1945, Arneson served as secretary to the Interim Committee on Atomic Energy. This specialized committee, appointed by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, provided advice on matters that concerned the atomic bomb and the future development of atomic energy. Later, Arneson served in the State Department as a special assistant, first to the Under Secretary of State and then to the Secretary of State, dealing with atomic energy matters.
