Comrade: Please read.

This document has just arrived. Comrades, please take a look at it immediately. In addition, the U.S. President’s remarks at the press conference on September 28[2] and Khrushchev’s speech at the welcoming rally in Moscow on September 29[3] are two extremely significant documents, well worth reading.

[1] Refers to a Xinhua News Agency dispatch sent for review by Peng Zhen, Secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, on October 15, 1959. The dispatch stated that, according to a TASS report from Moscow on October 14, Khrushchev had written to Eisenhower to congratulate him on his birthday, and noted that the frank and open conversations he had with the U.S. President during his visit to the United States had left him with the best impression. This convinced him that Eisenhower was sincere and had made the necessary efforts to bring about complete mutual understanding between the Soviet Union and the United States, establish lasting friendly relations, resolve outstanding issues, and thereby contribute to the strengthening of universal peace. In his reply, Eisenhower expressed thanks for Khrushchev’s congratulations and stated that he, like Khrushchev, hoped that in the relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, the two of them could bring about some relaxation of the tensions of the Cold War and find a bright path to a just peace.
