In a July 1943 [[Venona project]] decryption sent by the New York GRU [[Rezident]] Pavel Mikhailov to Moscow, Bayer is credited with describing a CPUSA source near President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] as a woman 'from an aristocratic family, who has known the President and his wife for a long time, evidently a secret member of the CPUSA.' The message included praise of [[Stalin]]'s leadership and an allegation that [[Madame Chiang Kai-shek]] was "a narcotics addict."  The GRU later identified the woman as Josephine Treslow.
