Best Answer

Einstein's only participation was to sign a letter written by Leo Szilard (using Einstein's name) warning FDR that Nazi Germany probably already had a project to build atomic bombs (which they did at the time) and warning of the consequences if they did first and requesting that FDR begin a project trying to make one first.

When FDR received this letter he authorized a preliminary study of the issue and budgeted $6000 to it.
