However, in 1963, in response to an offer of government employment in Washington, DC, he faced a background check and decided to voluntarily inform family friend and Presidential special assistant, [[Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.]] about his communist connections at Cambridge. This led directly to the exposure of Anthony Blunt as the recruiter of the [[Cambridge Five]] spy ring.
