W\/USSR Embassy<\/p>\n<p>Marceline J, Terri J, Deb. T.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Marceline told Cde. Timofeyv [Feodor Timofeyev] that she did visit [Cheddi] Jagan following the two girls that had visited his home during the night.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 she told him that the wife was hostil, and the inference that was made was, well, were legal, letting us know we could visit them during the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 she asked about their doctor and told him we had submitted somethings to the Georgetown hosp. but they weren\u2019t able to do all the test.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 He said their specialist was not in the country yet, but he mentioned a Cuban doctor, he didn\u2019t know his name.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Marceline asked if their local doctor would know his name?<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Timofeyve thought he might.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 he said their doctor was due in, but he was late and even his wife was trying to call and find out what the hold up was because they didn\u2019t know the reason.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 we showed him the statment about their visit<\/p>\n<p>WHILE HE READ IT he kept shaking his head in agreement, he said the last two paragraphs he would like to have in writing. He said he would to keep the paper a couple of days and go over it he said he had trouble translating some of the English. If you prefer to show it to me and take it, I understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We told him we preferred to take it now, Marceline said it wasn\u2019t that we didn\u2019t trust him, but it could get into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 he said o.k., but the two paragraphs giving Jim\u2019s perspective of the community situation, (where you live), its another to have a perspective of the world situation. he said they need to give Moscow more feedback then [than] just the amount of people living in the area and that sort of thing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Marceline told him we would take it today, and that she would be going into Jones town, but that we could probably re-type the last two paragraphs and deliver it to him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 He told us Jagan had approched him and asked him about Peoples Temple., He said he had not broched the subject at all, but they did make their position clear (USSR with Peoples Temple) and said they were surprised, but he thought it helpd put things into more a perspective. He said when people hear of a U.S. organization they tend to stay away (in so many words automatically associated as pro U.S.)<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 He said he felt Jagan had a better understanding now.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Marceline said she didn\u2019t think he did, or he wouldn\u2019t have made inference that they were legal to visit in the day time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Timofeyev told us to be careful how we talk over the radio. He said they have been told that the U.S. Embassy monitors all radio communications and not to mention them by name.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Marceline told them him we were careful, very careful and aware, and that we did not mention names on the radio.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 by the way, he turned on the radio after he read the notes regarding Jagen, before he began to talk.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Terri told him that out in the middle of the jungle, Jonestown, people were more informed then the average person.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 I mentioned that our seniors as well as our children could tell him what was happening in Angola and Mozambique ect.<\/p>\n<p>Marceline told him we were teaching Russian to all, and that she and Jim had both taken classes in Russian in college, but that Jim had done much better then she<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We told him that Jim was the instructure [instructor] of that calss.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 he said that they had some tapes and instructions on Russian language and he would get them for us if we wanted them.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 We told him we would like that very much.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 He said he would have it ready for us when we dropped off the paragraphs from the<\/p>\n<p>\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>D-2-Q-12B<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 note he read today.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 He mentioned that Jagen had wanted to know about a bill passed in parliament in regards to Peoples Temple, a bill that made our position clear with the govt. of Guyana.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 He said Sharon had mentioned this to him once and he didn\u2019t really understand, and when he mentioned this to Jagen, he wanted to know about it, he wasn\u2019t aware either, he said of course Jagen is a busy man, it could have been a time when he was out to other business, or before he was in parliament, said something about him not being in until the last four years.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Marceline said that could have been the case, because we have been in Guyana for about five years now, and this was something that would have happened at the inception of our comming to Guyana.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 He said he would like to know more about this,<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Marceline said she thought Paula [Adams] would know more about this since she was here in the beginning, and that she would talk to her when she went to Jonestown.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 I thanked him for talking to Jagen about us, and told him Jim would appreciate what they had done.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Timofeyeve said well I didn\u2019t approach him at all, he came to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D-2-Q-12A August 30, 1978 Appt.
