New York by airtel 12/ll/59 advised that informant discussed this. matter with Eugene Dennis, chairman of the cpusA, and that Dennis did not commit himself regarding the above proposal. In view of Dennis' present heart condition, informant will obtain the consent of Gus Hall,. general secretary of the cpusA, to.send our second top informant, Ny. 69h-s, on this mission. It was informant's opinion that necessary steps be taken'to pre-. pare NY ,694-s to make this: trip.

CG.5824-s.feels that this trip will establish a courier system between the jCpUsA and the CPs of China, and Czechoslovakia and the Bureau will be in the position to have.control over this courier system. It is quite possible. |that NY 694-S wil1 also go'to Moscow to deliver documents from the 17th National Convention. CG 5824-S feels that NY 694-S should make this trip under an assumed identity inasmuch as certain leaders of the cpusA are Department in passport irregularities. This informant obtained a passport on 6/ir/32 fraudulently under the name. John Willian Fox. In addition,. in yiew of the clandestine nature of this mission, the CPs of the United'States, used an assumed identity.
