I want to say that it was Whitaker Chambers and he visited Moscow right after one of the Big 3 Conferences, probably Tehran. I think Hiss was in the state department at this time. I just love how old Soviet documents are showing that Hiss and almost all other accused of being communist spies were in fact communist spies. In fact, I believe Hiss's codname was "Garnet". (From Vasili Mitrohkin's "The Sword and the Shield", straight from the KGB archives").

He was a writer for a communist paper ("The Daily Worker", I think, but my copy of Witness is downstairs, and I'm not going to get it now...) and an agent for a Russian communist spy ring, but never a sleeper working for the government...

Inserted language into the talks with Japan that would be totally unacceptable to them. So the US and Japan would not reach an agreement. Thereby precipitating Pearl Harbor
