Contact Division (now “Domestic Coliection Division - DCD) had its resident agent in Dallas, ‘Mr. J. Walton Moore, contact Mr. de Mohrenschiidt at that time. The ob history of Mr. Moore's relationship with Mr. de Mohrenschildt from 1957 mo to 1961 is also attached at C. As a routine matter, Mr. Moore requested traces.on Mr. de Mohrenschildt.

It took time to explore thoroughly the matters. you raised. Let me say first that I know it must have been difficult for you to seek my help in the situation outlined in your letter. I believe I can appreciate your state of mind in view of your daughter's tragic death a few years ago and the current poor state of your wife's health. I was extremely sorry to hear of these circumstances. In your situation, I can. well imagine how the attentions you described in your letter affect both you and your wife.. However, my - staff has been unable to find any indication of interest in your activities on the part of Federal authorities in recent years. The. flurry of interest that attended your testimony before the Warren Commission has Tong since subsided. . I can only speculate that you _ may have becone “newsworthy” again in view of the renewed interest in the Kennedy assassination and, thus, may, be attracting the atten- tion of people in the media. a I hope this letter has been of some comfort to you, George, » although I realize I am unable to answer your question completely. Thank you for your good wishes on my new job. As you can imagine, I'm finding it ‘Interesting and challenging. po Very truly yours , George E Bush Director
