In a section of the memo titled "Failures in the U.S.A. (1938-1945)," Gorsky noted five groups of agents that had been compromised by defectors from Soviet espionage. The first was "Karl's Group." "Karl" is identified as Whittaker Chambers, and the group includes Alger Hiss (code-named "Leonard"), Donald Hiss (code-named "Junior"), Henry Wadleigh, Frank Reno, William Pigman, Joseph Peters, Harry Dexter White, Felix Inslerman, and a number of others whom Chambers himself identified. Indeed, of the 21 names listed in Karl's group, who are all identified by code name and real name, Chambers discussed 15 in his testimony and his autobiography, Witness. And, without providing names, he mentioned three minor participants whose jobs match the positions of three others on Gorsky's list.

Feklisov later called the Rosenberg network one of the greatest in Soviet espionage. The Rosenbergs were executed in 1953. In his autobiography, The Man behind the Rosenbergs, Feklisov recounted how he had played Le Carre-style espionage games to throw off US minders in New York.

ENORMOZ, the Manhattan Project, was a prime target of Soviet espionage, as has been related in several recent works. The discussion in this book of MLAD (Theodore Hall), CHARL'Z (Klaus Fuchs), and LIBERAL (Julius Rosenberg) is useful in its context, but has been covered exhaustively in other places.

On 13 April 1954, Prime Minister Menzies told Parliament of the defection and announced the establishment of the Royal Commission on Espionage (RCE) to inquire into and report on Soviet espionage in Australia. Lengthy debriefings by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) following the defections revealed that Vladimir Petrov was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Soviet intelligence service and had been responsible for Soviet espionage in Australia. Mrs Petrov was ... an intelligence officer.
