Weintraub used his position to recommend [[Harry Magdoff]] and [[George Perazich]] who also were Soviet spies for employment within the government. He was a key figure in the 1952 Senate investigations of activities of US Citizens employed by the United Nations. As the Senate committee stated in its report Interlocking Subversion in Government Departments: "David Weintraub occupied a unique position in setting up the structure of Communist penetration of Government agencies by individuals who have been identified by witnesses as underground agents of the Communist party." In 1954, the United States [[Senate Internal Security Subcommittee]] (SISS) complained that the division he headed was hiring and providing United Nations cover for Soviet-bloc spies, and he resigned. | Weintraub used his position to recommend [[Harry Magdoff]] and [[George Perazich]] who also were Soviet spies for employment within the government.
