. 5. Mr. Helms' 3 dune 1964 memorandum for the Warren Commission on | the de Mohrenschiidts/is attached at C. It describes the Agency's interest in optaining reports from Mr. de Mohrenschildt in 1957 as a result of his sojourn in Yugoslavia that year. Contact Division (now i _ Domestic Coliection Division - DCD) had its resident agent in Dallas, Mr. Jd. Walton Moore, contact Mr. de Mohrenschiidt at that time. The. history of Mr. Moore's relationship with Mr. de Mohrenschildt from 1957 . to 1961 is also attached at C. As a routine matter, Mr. Moore requested _ traces on Mr. de Mohrenschildt. The trace results (attached. at D) con- ~~ tained sufficient derogatory information to preclude further extensive «~~ contact with the de Mohrenschildts. (An'0S summary on Mr. de Mohrenschi lat ce a prepared in response to the. current. request is also attached at OD. d. 6.) Our files: show that: a mail. cover was placed on ‘Jetters. ‘addressed to Mr. de Mohrenschildt c/o the U.S. Embassy in Haiti from about’ 1964 to | 1966: ~ (This was probably not uncovered at the time of the external. in- 7 vestigations.) .

Mr. de. ‘Mohrenschildt came: to the attention of this office during the Rockefeller Commission investigations. We were asked to respond to: a memorandum submitted to the Commission by Mr. Paul Hoch entitled "CIA . Activities and the Warren Commission Investigation." Mr. Hoch called for -an identification of Mr.. J. Walton Moore's employment affiliation and asked what Mr. Moore knew. about. Oswald and what he may have told Mr. de Mohrenschildt about him. - Our reply to the Rockefel ler Commission is eo attached at E. 8. “The most recent. information. we. have, on 1 Mr.. de...

Mir. de Mohrenschildt appears to nave lead an adventurous ‘and ec “ colorful life as a: “petroleum engineer, and businessman. He ais both well.
and poorly connected, and some of his associations ‘in the past have raised serious questions. Certainly his relationship witn the — Oswalds has.caused him considerable trouble and may have caused this | Agency .and the FBI tov spend more time. and energy on him in the past than. was necessary. . _ “10. Both ‘the FBI and this Agency, however, had dropped their 4nterests in Mr. de Mohrenschildt's activities by the mid-to-late ~ 1960's.. We speculate that any attention he is now receiving could ' either be from-local: authorities in Dallas or from media representa-_ “tives on the trail of a warmed over story concerning the assassination of. President Kennedy. . We offer no proof of this conjecture beyond Mr. Moore's reports. attached at F.. What we can say is that we have _. found no indication that either CIA or the FBI has taken any active _ interest in 1 Mr. de > Hohrenschildt | in recent years. ‘Attachments: - A thru F a/s | . 4:32992773, Page 60.0000 7
