Correction and clarification, then:

The President of the United States of America to whose office Albert 
Einstein (1879–1955) forwarded a letter written by Leo Szilárd, signed
by Einstein so that the latter must be assumed to have endorsed it thereby, 
to develop an atomic bomb, was not Dwight D. Eisenhower; it was the 32nd 
President, Franklin D. Roosevelt (in office: 1933–1945).

Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States (in office: 
1951/1952) under whose administration the hydrogen bomb was under 
development instead.
