Hal Ware , a CPUSA official in the [[Department of Agriculture]], who founded the Washington D.C. group of United States government employees belonging to the CPUSA underground called the "Ware group". The Ware group had eight members in 1934, each of whom headed an underground cell of Communist agents. The members had first been recruited into Marxist study groups and then into the CPUSA. Each of these agents not only provided classified documents to Soviet intelligence, but was involved in political influence operations as well.
