==Theory of Fielding==
I have recovered the Theory of Fielding from the WaybackMachine [http://web.archive.org/web/20050204173143/http://www.tof.blogspot.com/#SO Theory of Fielding - Set O - Oppenheimer] and sent HB Laes, its author an email to see if its still available on the web or if he would like to contribute. Here's a litle bit about Laes. [http://intellit.muskingum.edu/spycases_folder/bomb_folder/bombgena-l.html] Paval Sudaplatov and Herbert Romerstein are also two other excellent sources for this and a few other articles.

==Sudaplatov==
Here is the actual text from p. 172 of Paval Sudaplatov's ''Special Tasks'':
:"Oppenheimer, Fermi, Szilard, and Szilard's secretary were often quoted in the NKVD files from 1942 to 1945 as sources for information on the development of the first American atomic bomb. It is in the record that on several occasions they agreed to share information on nuclear weapons with Soviet scientists. At first they were motivated by fear of Hitler; they believed that the Germans might produce the first atomic bomb. Then the Danish physicist Niels Bohr helped strengthen their own inclinations to share nuclear secrets with the world academic community. By sharing their knowledge with the Soviet Union, the chance of beating the Germans to the bomb would be increased.
