Eaton writes to BR regarding the attack on Soviet scientists, particularly Topchiev and Fedorov, which was released one week before the Vienna meeting "... in the hope that Khrushchev would be stirred to anger and bitterness. The Soviet Embassy in Washington and the USSR United Nations Mission in New York are investigating the report and are likely to request an official explanation."

He refers to the accusations against Joliot-Curie and Infeld as "... examples of hitting below the belt."
