'''Joseph Milton Bernstein''' recruited his fellow Communist [[T.A. Bisson]] who had stopped working at the [[Board of Economic Warfare]] (BEW) and began working in the [[Institute of Pacific Relations]] (IPR) and in the editorial offices of Bernstein’s periodical ''[[Amerasia]]''. Bisson passed to Bernstein copies of four documents: (a) his own report for BEW with his views on working out a plan for shipment of American troops to China; (b) a report by the Chinese embassy in Washington to its government in China; (c) a brief BEW report of April 1943 on a general evaluation of the forces of the sides on the [[Eastern Front (World War II)| Soviet-German front]]; and (d) a report by the American consul in Vladivostok.
Bernstein functioned as the contact between Soviet Military Intelligence ([[GRU]]) and [[Philip Keeney]] of the [[Office of Strategic Services]] (OSS) and his wife, [[Mary Jane Keeney]] of the [[Board of Economic Warfare]] and later the [[United Nations]].
In 1945 the [[Office of Strategic Services]] Security Division and the [[FBI]] searched the offices of the magazine ''Amerasia'', which was suspected of holding classified government documents. The staff of the publication included Communist spies and agents, including Joseph Bernstein. In subsequent years, the case resulted in several convictions, none major, and a number of congressional hearings were held on the case.
Bernsteins code with the GRU and in the [[Venona project]] is "MARQUIS".
