On May 29, 1946, FBI Director j. Edgar JHoover sent George E. Allen, a confidant of the President and head of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, a four-page letter marked Personal and Condifential by special messenger. Hoover reported that a reliable source, which was the [[Venona project]], revealed “an enormous Soviet espionage ring in Washington.” Of some fourteen names listed which included [[Alger Hiss]] and [[Nathan Gregory Silvermaster]], Hoover addedd at the top of the list Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson, and others who were not Venona suspects. Hoover's action here was one source of much confusion regarding the Soviet penetetration of the US Government during [[World War II]] which become public knowledge later.
