A sensitive source who has furnished valuable infor-
mation in the past concerning the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA),
said Timur Timofeevich Timofeev stated in February, 1961, that
Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev will visit the United States
in April, 1961, rather than March, 1961, as originally planned.
The reason for the postponement is Khrushchev's anticipation
that by April the international policies of The Kennedy admin-
istration, particularly that regarding disarmament, will have
"jelled." Khrushchev feels that this will place him in a better
position to formulate his own policies and to deal effectively
with the United States. He particularly desires that the dis-
armament issue be debated at the United Nations before he comes
to the United States. Timofeev did not know the exact date of
Iahrushchev's proposed visit.
T.imofeev, son of the late . u9ens i)ennis, forc}ter
National Chairman of the CPUSA, made these statements in low York
City after arriving front Moscow, Russia, to attend his father's
funeral. Timofeev was a member of the Soviet Delegation to the
15th Session of the United Nations General Assaembly in the Fall
of 1960.
because of the sensitive nature of our source, it is
requested that the contents of this communication be afforded
careful. security and its use restricted to a need-to-know bawls.
I am nabinq this information available to other
appropriate officials of the Government.
Sincerely yours,
