KGB operative [[Harold Glasser]] told FBI investigators in 1947 after returning from the Soviet Union as an adviser to Secretary of State George Marshall, "I do not know [[Alger Hiss]] at all socially and had very little contact with him at any time. I am, however, much better acquainted with this brother Donald Hiss, who for sometime at the State Department handled International Loans and Affairs, which prompted him to have numerous contacts with me at the Treasury Department....I would never have been in a position to furnish Alger Hiss of Donald Hiss any official information inasmuch as all international policy actually emanated from the Department of State itself. As a matter of fact, Donald Hiss through his official capacity would be in a position to obtain first hand knowledge of any information that I might develop through my official capacity in the Treasury Department regarding international loans." <ref>FBI Silvermaster file, Statement by Harold Glasser to Agents Garland and Mossberg, [http://education-research.org/PDFs/Silvermaster116.pdf Vol. 116, pgs. 120 - 129] pdf, May 13, 1947. Memorandum notes Glasser could not be interviewed three weeks earlier "inasmuch as he was an adviser at that time to Secretary of State GEORGE C. MARSHALL in U.S.S.R."</ref>
