TOP SECRET
GENERAL
1. Vishinsky to be Soviet representative at GA--Soviet
Foreign Minister 'iris insky has told TS Ambassador
Kirk that a last minute decision was taken to send him
to New York as head of the Soviet delegation to the UN
General Assembly. Kirk suggests that the change in
Soviet plans may have been caused by the current
impasse in Austrian treaty negotiations and expresses
his suspicion that the Kremlin is interested in a Coun-
oil of Foreign Ministers meeting during the coming GA
session. Kirk further reports that during an informal
conversation Vishtnsky expressed the hope that the
session would be productive, perhaps effecting an ex-
tension of the Paris CFM meeting, and remarked that
he would welcome some private talks because "diplomacy
cannot be conducted under floodlights."
(CIA Comment: CIA believes that the USSR may
have sent a top-level delegation not only in anticipation
of a possible CFM meeting but also for dealing with the
Greek problem. The Kremlin may also wish to be pre -
pared for the possible raising of the Tito dispute during
the GA session.)
