'''Rudolph Carl Lambert''' was an American citizen and head of the California [[Communist Party]] Labor Commission and also headed of its security section in the 1940s. Lambert firtst fell under [[FBI]] scrutiny in conection with its [[CPUSA#Secret_apparatus|Comintern Apparatus]] investigation. Lambert is named in a 1945 San Francisco [[KGB]] cable intercepted and deciphered by the [[Venona project]] discussing information about uranium deposits in Western states.
Lambert figured prominently in the [[Atomic Energy Commission]]'s investigation and decision to relieve Dr. [[J. Robert Oppenheimer]], Director of the [[Manhattan Project]] at [[Los Alamos National Laboratory|Los Alamos]], of his security clearance because of documented close associations which Oppenheimer repeatedly denied, yet ultimately admitted to. In a subsection review 'As to "character"' on 29 June 1954 in the ''Decision in the Matter of Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer'', the Commission wrote,
:"(3) In 1943, Dr. Oppenheimer indicated to Colonel Lansdale that he did not know Rudy Lambert, a [[CPUSA|Communist Party]] functionary. In fact, Dr. Oppenheimer asked Colonel Lansdale what Lambert looked like. Now, however, Dr. Oppenheimer under oath has admitted that be knew and had seen Lambert at least half a dozen times prior to 1943; he supplied a detailed description of Lambert; he said that once or twice he had lunch with Lambert and [[Isaac Folkoff]], another Communist Party functionary, to discuss his (Oppenheimer's) contributions to the Communist Party; and that he knew at the time that Lambert was an official in the Communist Party (Tr. pp. 139, 140, 877)."
