Along the way, he received regular briefings on U.S. intelligence operations from CIA Chief Walter Bedell Smith and knew every counterintelligence move that the CIA made. When he was final ly dismissed from M.I. 6, it was only at the insistent demand of the CIA, which had discovered his role in the wake of the Burgess-Maclean case.
