Upper and lower bounds are derived for the ground-state energy of neutralatoms which for $Z\to\infty$ both involve the limits of exact Green's functionswith one-body potentials. The limits of both bounds are shown to coincide withthe Thomas-Fermi ground-state energy.Comment: LaTeX with PTPTeX class, 7 pages, no figur
