　　A new source of funding for astronomy stemmed from the

creation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 1950.

Astronomers were quick to take advantage of the opportunities this

provided to found new observatories. The science and politics of

the establishment, funding, construction and operation of the Kitt

Peak National Observatory (KPNO) and the Cerro Tololo

Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) by the Association of

Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) are here seen from

the unique perspective of Frank K. Edmondson, a former member of

the AURA board of directors. AURA was asked to manage the

Sacramento Peak Observatory (SPO) in 1976, and in 1983 the National

Solar Observatory (NSO) was formed by merging the SPO and the KPNO

solar programs. In 1981 NASA chose AURA to establish and operate

the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). This is a personal

account of a period of major innovation in American optical

astronomy.
