 Katz informed Bentley at their first meeting in October 1944 that Gorsky had been sent to the United States to improve security of NKGB operations.  One aspect of this modernization was to have Bentley turn over to NKGB control all of her agents not previously surrendered to NKGB officers.

 In 1944 Katz was put in charge of handling agent recruitments from the New York [[TASS]] office headed by [[Vladimir Pravdin]], former [[Rezident]] of the NKGB in New York.  And in September 1944 Katz was freed of other liaisons (operations) and was assigned to work directly under Washington D.C. Rezident [[Anatoli Gorsky]]. Gorsky came to the United States to implement a new security program of isolating agents from each other by a complicated arrangement of cutouts.
