My recollection (admittedly less than perfect) is that Oppenheimer was a suspected sympathizer and/or had several friends who were at least marginally involved, but it was never proved he (Oppenheimer) had an active involvement with the Communist party.

I'll have to re-read a bunch of stuff (most of which I have loaned out to friends, never to be seen again)to get my facts straight.

I'm not sure either. I have this from Stephen Ambrose's 1990 edition of Eisenhower's Biography (Eisenhower Soldier and President), page 340:

"Wilson told the President, over the telephone, that he had just received a report on Oppenheimer. It consisted of a letter from William Borden, the former director of the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy, to the Secretary of Defense. Borden charged that it was "more likely than not that J. Robert Oppenheimer is a Communist spy."

I'd have to poke around other sources to check it out thoroughly. Ambrose was a big lefty and may have covered for Oppenheimer in this book.

Wilson is Charles E. Wilson, Ike's Secretary of Defense.
