National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Daniel I. Arnon

(For fundamental research into the mechanism of green plant utilization of light to produce chemical energy and oxygen and for contributions to our understanding of plant nutrition.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Carl Djerassi

(In recognition of his major contributions to the elucidation of the complex chemistry of the steroid hormones and to the application of these compounds to medicinal chemistry and population control by means of oral contraceptives.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering

Harold Eugene Edgerton

(For his vision and creativity in pioneering the field of stroboscopic photography and for his many inventions of instruments for exploring the great depths of the oceans.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Maurice Ewing

(For extending and improving the methods of geology and geophysics to study the ocean floor and to understand the last remaining unexplored province of the solid earth--that which lies under the sea.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Arie Jan Haagen-Smit

(For his unique contributions to the discovery of the chemical nature and source of smog, and for the successful efforts which he has carried through for smog abatement.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Vladimir Haensel

(For his outstanding research in the catalytic reforming of hydrocarbons which has greatly enhanced the economic value of our petroleum natural resources.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Frederick Seitz

(For his pioneering contributions to the foundations of the modern quantum theory of the solid state of matter, and to the understanding of many phenomena and processes that occur in solids.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Earl Wilbur Sutherland, Jr.

(For the discovery that epinephrine and hormones of the pituitary gland occasion their diverse regulatory effects by initiating cellular synthesis of cyclic adenylic acid, now recognized as a universal biological second messenger, which opened a new level of understanding of the subtle mechanisms that integrate the chemical life of the cell while offering hope of entirely new approaches to chemotherapy.)
National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science

John Tukey

(For his studies in mathematical and theoretical statistics, particularly his pioneering work on broad analysis and synthesis problems of complex systems, and for his outstanding contributions to the applications of statistics to the physical, social, and engineering sciences.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering

Richard T. Whitcomb

(For his discoveries and inventions in aerodynamics which have provided and will continue to provide substantial improvements in the speed, range and payload of a major portion of high-performance aircraft produced throughout the country.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Robert R. Wilson

(For unusual ingenuity in designing experiments to explore the fundamental particles of matter and in designing and constructing the machines to produce the particles, culminating in the world's most powerful particle accelerator.)
