Features: Chairman Mao arrived at Yinyuantang around 8 o'clock. As soon as he sat down, he asked me: "Has the full text of Khrushchev's report been distributed to the comrades?" I reported to him that it had been distributed to all the Politburo members and relevant responsible comrades. He then asked if everyone had read it. Several central responsible comrades said they had read it but had not finished. Chairman Mao also said that he had just started reading and found it difficult, and he had not finished yet. He asked everyone for their opinions. Comrade Xiaoping then spoke about the situation when our Party delegation heard from a liaison officer of the Central Liaison Department of the Soviet Communist Party that the secret report by Khrushchev had been reported in Moscow during the 20th Congress of the Soviet Communist Party.
