Alexander Sachs, American economist and banker.

Alexander Sachs (August 1, 1893 - June 23, 1973) was an American economist and banker. In October 1939 he delivered the Einstein-Szilard letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, suggesting that nuclear-fission research ought to be pursued with a view to possibly constructing nuclear weapons, should they prove feasible, in view of the likelihood that Nazi Germany would do so. This led to the initiation of the United States' Manhattan Project.
