“Released under the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 (44 Us 2i0T Hoter. DATE: : | 11-14-2017 7 Cree ty Dear Comrade, I was one of the fortunate group of individuals from Canada who were afforded the privilege of visiting your country in October, 1966. Perhaps you will not remember me, but I had the pleasure of meeting you.in Peking during our visit when you and other members of the Chinese People's Government greeted and allowed us the opportunity to present questions regarding your country. At that time, I expressed some concern at, what appeared to be, excesses of the Cultural Revolution and wondered whether some of the people who had suffered violence and abuse at the hands of the Red Guards might not in fact be innocent. Your reply was that as a result of over enthusiasm it was always possible to make mistakes, however, they would be rectified in time. (S) My purpose in writing is to express my concern and that conveyed to me by a friend from NY, SUE, a loyal Maoist, and acquaintance of yours, over the fact that recent reports have indicated that lmg time friends of the Chinese People's Government, ISRAEL EPSTEIN and his wife and MICHAEL SHAPIRO had been arrested for espionage; SIDNEY RITTENBERG had been purged from his job with Radio Peking and ANNA LOUISE STRCNG had been condemned as an "Imperialist agent." We are deeply concerned regarding the treat- ment of these friends of the Chinese People's Government and wonder whether the abuses which I previously mentioned are con- tinuing in spite of your statement the mistakes would be rectified. If these rumors are true a serious mistake has been made and we appeal to you as afriend to intercede on behalf of the friends of the Chinese People's Government. You can well understand my reason for not signing the letter or identifying SUE, for to do so could conceivably disclose our identities to the authorities. A Friend DoclId: 323013058 Page 4
