The local density exchange potential which is used in most atomic calculations is based on the degenerate electron gas. It is proposed that it should be augmented by a term that has the correct large radius behaviour and which contains an adjustable parameter. The parameter is determined by minimizing the total energy. Better calculations of several physical quantities are obtained.
