For testing the location parameter $\mu$ of the two parameter exponential model, a broad class of uniformly most powerful unbiased tests for the hypothesis of $\mu=0$ verses $\mu<0$ is derived. Examples are also given to show that for testing this model, there is no uniformly most powerful test for the hypothesis of $\mu=0$ verses either $\mu \neq 0$ or $\mu<0$ as claimed in the literature.
