'''William Wolf Weisband''' was born in Odessa [[Russia]] in 1908 of Russian parents. Weisband emigrated to America in the 1920s and became a US citizen in 1938. From 1941 to 1942 Weisband was the [[Agent handling|agent handler]] for [[Jones Orin York]] who worked in the [[Northrop Corporation]]. He joined the US Army [[Signals Intelligence Service]] (SIS) in 1942 and performed signals intelligence and communications security duties in [[North Africa]] and [[Italy]], where he made some important friends before returning to [[Arlington Hall]] and joining its "Russian Section." Although not a cryptanalyst, as a "linguist adviser" who spoke fluent Russian, he was working closely with cryptographers. The gregarious and popular Weisband had access to all areas of Arlington Hall's Soviet work. [[Meredith Gardner]] recalled that Weisband had watched him extract the list of Western atomic scientists from the December 2, 1944 KGB message.
