Here's a story of interest on this topic:
Herb York, PhD, (1921-2009) was a preeminent scientist in the 1950's. An Ed Teller protégé, he worked on the Manhattan Project, he was the first scientific director at Livermore, and later the first chief scientist at ARPA (which became DARPA). York helped design both a 10,000 megaton hydrogen bomb, the Mirv system, and a 48 pound portable nuclear bomb, a full sized mockup of which prototype he carried in his luggage on a commercial flight to demonstrate it. York was, briefly, the acting US Secretary of Defense, while Robert McNamara was being confirmed. He told Annie Johnson, author of "The Pentagon's Brain," that, one day after JFK's inauguration, he visited the War Room at the Pentagon. The War Room personnel were keeping "special watch" on two situations in the world. One was Laos. The other was the Congo, "where a rebellion was under way in the mineral rich province of Katanga."
