Missing Khrushchev speech section sought by U S officials
U S officials believe a 10 000 to 15 000 word portion of Khrushchev s late February attack on Stalin is missing from the State Department release. American diplomats abroad have orders to locate the missing material and send it to Washington immediately. The missing section likely covered Stalin s conduct of foreign affairs and could reveal Khrushchev s own thinking. President Eisenhower says the speech was probably for Soviet domestic purposes, not foreign policy.
