Yes I am sure G Khan existed We have many sources for that from friends and enemies although I doubt he was a member of the CP Jesus as well is referred to outside of the Bible by contemporary Roman sources who would not be biased toward making the guy up But that aside you and I aren t going to see eye to eye on much of theissues raised so let s just stop arguing about it I still believe your list is fraught with problems and offer two quick illustrations Walter Bernstein is listed as one with a covert relationship with the USSR yet this is based solely on one Venona cable that has Khan stating Bernstein would file a report when he returns from his trip which involved a journey into German held Yugoslavia for an interview with Tito he was doing for Yank magazine Hardly a left magazine of any sort The identity of Khan remains unknown not Ghengis Bernsteing does not even have a codename the relationship between the two remains unknown and neither the FBI or the NSA identify Bernstein as an agent of any kind So aside from K H s assertion on what basis would you include his name This is just one example of K H slandering a man simply because his name is mentioned Donald Hiss is another and although his name does not appear in Venona your intro to the names makes it appear that it does The sole accusations against Hiss rest with Chambers and later one mention by a fellow named Rushmore which never led anywhere The FBI files on Donald run from 1942 to 1957 He was extensively investigated on all aspects of the charges you can check this yourself by going to FBI gov and clicking on the FOIA tab The investigation was first closed in 1952 with the FBI referring to Chambers allegations as unsubstantiated and stating that there had been no allegations of espionage at any time The case was then reopened for a perjury investigation as Donald had testfied under oath that he had not been any time a member of the Party or any affiliated group in any way shape or form nor had he ever known Chambers at any time That investigation extended over the next several years and not one of the FBI s party source had ever heard of D Hiss other than from coverage of his brother s trial Donald was never charged with perjury nor is there any indication in the published files that the FBI thought he should be He was then investgated again concerning resurfaced charges Chambers had made concerning the first Harry Bridges deportation case Again the allegation led nowhere The link to his name lists him as a member of the Ware group but the FBI could not substantiate that Lee Pressman another name that should be removed but later on that who testified willingly stated that he had been in the Ware group and the party for about a year and a half during the period cited by Chambers and that neither Hiss brother was involved as far as he knew Nathanial Weyl testfied as well that Donald was not a member So again why is his name listed other than K H s assertion which appears to be based solely on Chambers assertion which the FBI calls unsubstantiated As for suggesting different language for the names that s fine with me I ll try to come up with something later its kinda late now Grif
