Joseph Bernstein to whom Bisson gave this material is the same Moscow agent with who was a contact of [[Philip Jaffe]] in the ’40s. Thus Bisson not only touted the cause of the Chinese Communists, as Sen. McCarthy had alleged, but passed confidential data to a henchman of the KGB. McCarthy made accussations against Bisson, and had certain evidence to prove it. But McCarthy was unsure how deep the complicity and subversion. The secret was locked up for 50 years, known only to the [[Kremlin]] and the [[Venona project]].
