On December 4, 1945, the FBI transmitted to the White House a report entitled "Soviet Espionage in the United States." The report summarized White's espionage activities. Copies of the report were sent to Attorney General [[Tom C. Clark|Tom Clark]] also. The evidence indicated a substantial spy ring operating within the Government and involving White. Given the secrecy of the [[Venona project]] materials, the president went ahead six weeks later and nominated White for appointment to head the newly created [[International Monetary Fund]], one of the chief institutional pillars of the postwar international economic order.
