Nikita Khrushchev was the first Soviet premier to visit the U.S., and it was a huge event. Here he waves to photographers as he prepares to enter the home of former New York Gov. Averell Harriman, September 17, 1959. Khrushchev was Harriman's guest at a reception. To left of Khrushchev is U.S. delegate to U.N. Henry Cabot Lodge. To right of Khrushchev is Harriman. The white-haired man next to Harriman whose face is partially obscured is Mikhail Menshikov, Soviet ambassador to the U.S.
