William Lewis "Bud" Uanna (May 13, 1909 – December 22, 1961) was a United States security expert, who gained prominence as a security officer on the Manhattan Project, which built the first atomic bomb during World War II. He later served as Chief of the Division of Physical Security at the Department of State. Uanna joined the Army in May 1941, and was commissioned in November 1942. Assigned to the Counter Intelligence Corps, he served on the staff of I Service Command and the X Corps. In August 1943, he became an instructor at its school in Chicago, where he wrote a manual on physical security. He joined the Manhattan Project in late 1943, and in August 1944, was appointed Security Officer at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, one of the Manhattan Project's largest sites. In February 1945, he assumed command of the 1st Technical Service Detachment, which was responsible for the security of 509th Composite Group, including its personnel, bases and equipment. After the war ended he accompanied the Manhattan Project team sent to survey the damage done by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In 1947, he was chosen by the newly created Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to head its program to provide security clearances to its personnel, for which he named and developed the criteria for the Q clearance. He was an administrative officer at the Central Intelligence Agency from 1949 to 1951, and was the special assistant to the Secretary of Commerce. He was responsible for physical security at the State Department from 1953 until his death in Addis Ababa in 1961. == Early life == William Lewis Uanna was born in Medford, Massachusetts, on May 13, 1909, the son of Italian immigrants Anthony Uanna and his wife Theresa née Ferullo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Uanna – Public Member Trees )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anthony Uanna from Ward 3 Medford in 1940 Census District 9-318 )〕 He attended Medford High School, and then Tufts College on an athletic scholarship, where he was a halfback on the college football team, and an intercollegiate wrestling champion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NCAA 1931 )〕 Although tests revealed an IQ of over 160 Uanna said that if he had not been able to play football he would never have been able to attend college. While at Tufts he suffered a broken nose playing football, a severe case of blood poisoning from a mat burn in wrestling and a broken leg in the National College Wrestling Championships. He earned a degree in engineering, but soon returned to Tufts to get an M.A. in education, and became a teacher. He worked at this job for six months, teaching physics and mathematics in high school. Uanna was then employed on a series of private, City of Medford, State of Massachusetts and US Army Corps of Engineers projects, progressing from a rod man on a surveying crew to a construction superintendent. As a civilian with the Corps of Engineers he would be involved in the construction of Grenier Army Air Field in New Hamshire and Fort Devens in Massachusetts, where he would serve as an Army Counter Intelligence agent during WW II.〔 During the years 1938 to 1942 he attended Suffolk University graduating in 1942 with an L.L.B. He passed the Massachusetts Bar examination and would later be admitted to practice before the Federal Bar. In his November 19, 1956 Foreign Service Essay he describes this time as "...a most difficult one as the demands of my position caused me to miss many of my classes". He goes on to describe how it was while attending law school and working as a construction superintendent that he became aware of the necessity of management and administration. He purchased the seven volume set of books published by the International City Managers Association, read them several times and became an Associate Member of the ICMA in 1940. In the early 1950s Uanna attended American University in Washington, D.C. and needed to submit his thesis to receive a Doctorate in Public Administration. It was his schedule at a job he was to take at the U.S. Department of State that kept him from finishing his thesis. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William L.
