While conceding that Julius was a Soviet agent, some on the left claimed that Ethel was innocent. But [http://www.nsa.gov/public_info/_files/venona/1944/21sep_recruitment_by_rosenbergs.pdf Venona 1340] New York to Moscow 21 September 1944, made public in 1995, revealed that Ethel was, like Julius, guilty as charged, of conspiracy to commit espionage. This coded Soviet message recorded Ethel's active involvement in Soviet recruitment: “LIBERAL [Julius Rosenberg] recommended the wife of his wife's brother, Ruth GREENGLASS.... She is 21 years old, a TOWNSWOMAN [U.S. citizen], a GYMNAST [“Probably a member of the Young Communist League”] since 1942.... LIBERAL and his wife recommend her as an intelligent and clever girl.

Ruth Greenglass's testimony, made public in 2008, corroborated Venona regarding Ethel's guilt. Greenglass testified that Julius urged her to recruit her husband (Ethel's brother), David Greenglass, into a conspiracy to pass atomic secrets to the Soviets, and that Ethel “said that I should at least relay the message, that she felt that David might be interested, he would want to do this.... [S]he urged me to talk to David. She felt that even if I was against it, I should at least discuss it with him and hear what he had to say.” ([http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20080911/rosenbergcasefiles-greenglass-ruth-pg9132to9161.pdf Testimony of Ruth Greenglass], ''U.S. v.
