The Bemerable Richard N. Nixon
Vice President of the United States
Senate Office Building
Washington, D. C.
Deer Vice President Nixon*
In reference to our correspondence of last July I
to your attention an urgent proposal of mine
Like mew other cities= in the United States I was pleased to see that
you have disclosed a Soviet spy case during the recent controversy. I
believe, however, that events justify farther disclosures in this direction.
Since the Soviet Government took the come of the United States 11-2 airplane
incident to the United Notions Security Owned; this affair mild be used
for a comprehensive disclosure of communist subversive and spying activities.
am thinking in particular of Soviet spies in the United States, England
and Canada during the Second World War, when these countries were allies
of the Soviet Union. while American support and lend lees* saved the USSR,
Soviet agents built and operated an espionage network and Soviet lendAssee
representatives were used for industrial spying in this country. Such
activities can be proven by the Ousenko ease, and ether disclosures of
former Soviet agents, by the 'Ochs case, the Rosenberg ease and many other
cases. I presume that agencies of our government have much material that
could be used to illustrate that Soviet representatives try to subvert the
governments to which they are accredited. Similar activities of satellite
diplomats should also be described and documented.
I consider the 114 incident and failure of the Paris conference a golden
opportunity to submit to all members of the United Mations a substantial
volume documenting Soviet methods of operation in noncommunist countries.
Otherwise, presentation of such material to the United Rations would be
an unfriendly act. A volume of this kind shoeing the spying activities
of the Soviet Union in countries with which its relations are ostensibly
friendly, and in particular the network of spies maintained by the Soviet
Union during the Second World War, would be particularly inetruetive for
the nenly established nations.

Probably the best procedure would be to submit as soon as possible a
general memorandum on Soviet subversive and spying activities in Allied
countries sines 1941. This memorandum could be followed by a substantial
volume containing detailed documentation of Soviet methods of spying.
Perhaps the Canadian volume on the Ousenko case could also be submitted
as a supplement to the United States volume.
In this way I think eventually it could be to our advantage if the question
Of spying activities in international relations should be discussed in the
United Nations.
I consider it my duty to bring the above proposal to your attention, and /
Gm sending a eopy of this letter to Mt. Allen W. Dulles, director of the
Central Intelligence Agency, and to Nr. George V. Allan, director of the
United States Information Agency.
