This quotation circulated in American anti-communist propaganda during the years after Khrushchev's September 1959 visit to the United States, typically attributed as something he said three and a half months before the visit. A contemporary investigation by the Library of Congress and the US Information Agency found no source, although Khrushchev did refer to "small doses" in an entirely different context, quoted above.
