In 2005, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) was selected to receive the Roosevelts Gold Medal for Science by the New York Council, Navy League of the United States. Designed by Tiffany in 1986, the Medal is awarded "to an individual, institution, or corporation for extraordinary scientific contributions to the security of America." The Roosevelts Gold Medal for Science was created in honor of Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. During their service to our nation as assistant secretaries of the Navy, and then as U.S. presidents, both were keen advocates of American naval power and strongly supportive of the vital role played by science in creating and sustaining it. With minor modifications, the pages that follow contain the full nomination package provided to the New York Council of the Navy League for consideration by its award selection panel.
