An application in 1994 and again in 1995 for the Presidential Medal of Technology, which is awarded annually by the U. S. Department of Commerce. Henry Alberts proposed Warfield as a candidate for the Medal, and was the official Nominator. Alberts and others signed the nomination and sent letters supporting it. Warfield, however, was the one who had to fill out the application form and compile all sorts of biographical and professional documentation in order to complete it properly.
