Back in the [[United States]], Burns operated a safe house for Soviet intelligence. Burns worked with [[Bernhard Schuster]]. A KGB message was sent from New York to Moscow on 16 August 1944 discussing Burns covert relationship with Soviet intelligence. Three days later General [[Pavel Fitin]], head of the KGB directed a memo to [[Georgi Dimitrov]], head of the Comintern, asking for information on Paul Burns, a social worker and fellow Lincoln Battalion veteran, [[Louis Horvitz]], operated another safe house. [[Leonid Kvasnikov]], a KGB Case Officer, used one of these safe houses of members of the [[Communist Party of the United States of America]] (CPUSA) for a meeting with a source near the end of 1944, although it is not clear which.
