Interior view with W. Averell Harriman seated on the right at the end of the table. He may have just been visiting a concrete plant located at Rudni (Rudnyy), Kazakhstan. Thayer's typewritten account of the trip states, "From the concrete plant we went to the Miners Club for a banquet at which the director of the mine, Sandrigaovo, was the host. The co-host was the Mayor of Rudni, Morosov." Charles W. Thayer accompanied W. Averell Harriman as a guide and confidant on the trip which took place May 12 - June 26, 1959.
