The attached suggested draft to

Mr. De Mohrenschildt was written without

knowledge,gf the flavor of your personal

relationship with him.

The tone may not

be appropriate, but the message boils

down to the fact that neither CIA nor

the FBI appear to have been interested

in Mr De Mohrenschildt for a number of.

years.

This draft was coordinated with OGC

Director of Central Intelligence

John H. Waller

Inspector General

: Mr. George de Moirenschilit

Mr. de Mohrenschildt's letter to you,

dated 5 September 1976

Action Required:

None.

This memorandum is for your information.

•We have also

attached at A a suggested draft reply to Mr. de Mohrenschildt's letter.

Action Taken:

2. We have reviewed DDO and IG files on Mr. de Mohrenschildt.

addition,

at our request, the CI Staff has run Agency traces on him and

has been in touch with the FBI as well.

Findings:

3. There is voluminous material.on Mr. de Mohrenschildt in CIA

files, most of it dating from the post-Kennedy assassination period

when he testified before the Warren Commission on his acquaintance

with Mir. and firs. Lee Harvey Oswald. (A copy of the de Mohrenschildis'

testimony is attached at B.)

The bulk of the material in our files consists of FBi reports,

the most recent of which is dated i967.

The FBI has informed CIA that

it has no traces on Mr. de Mohrenschildt beyond that date; our files

contain all of its previous material on him.

Mr. Helms' 3 June 1964 memorandum for the Warren Commission on

the de Mohrenschiidts is attached at C.

it describes the Agency's

interest in obtaining

reports from Mr. de Mohrenschildt in 1957 as a

result of his sojourn in Yugoslavia that year.

Contaci Division (now

Domestic Coliection Division - DCD) had its resident agent in Dallas,

Mir. J. Walton Moore, contact Mr. de Mohrenschiidt at that time.

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 requestec

traces on Mr. de Mohrenschildt. • The trace results (attached at D con-

tained sufficient derogatory information to preclude further extensive

contact with the de Monrenschildts.

(An OS summary on Mir. de Mohrenschildt

prepared in response to the current request is also attached at D.)

6. Our files show that a mail cover was placed on letters 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-

vestigations.) This included opening and photographing the contents of

some letters by the CIA Station there. The results of this operation

were shared with the FBI.

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

asked what Mr. Moore knew about Oswald and what he may have told Mir. de

Mohrenschildt about him.. Our reply to the Rockefeller Commission

attached at E.

The most recent information we have.on Mr. de. Mohrenschildt. comes

from Mr. J. Walton Moore who was contacted in May and July 1976 by writers

connected with the Reader's Digest, and with the Dial Press and the Dell

Publishing Company.

Both writers questioned Mr. Moore about Oswald and

Mr. de Mohrenschildt. Mir. Moore's reports on these contacts are attached

Conciusions:

Mr. de Mohrenschildt appears to have lead an adventurous and

colorful life as a petroleum engineer

and businessman.

He is both well

and poorly connected, and some of his associations in the past have

raised serious questions.

Certainly his relationship with the

Oswalds has caused him considerable trouble and may have caused this

Agency and the FBI to spend more time and energy. on him in the past

than was necessary.

10.

Both the FBI and this Agency, however, had dropped their

interests 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 reporis 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 Mr. de Mohrenschildt in recent years.

Dear George:

Please forgive the delay in my reply to your September 5th letter.

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 long 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.

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.

Very truly yours,

Director

Subject was investigated by Federal Agencies in 1941, 1942,

1945, 1947, and 1957.

The investigation reports as well as the

files of other Federal Agencies reflect the folloring:

Between 1940 and 1942 Subject was considered to be

pro-German and suspected of being a German prozagandise and

an espionage agent.

Several informants staied that Subject was in sympathy

with the Communist form of government in Russia but knew of no

un-American activities on the part of Subject. One informant

advised in 1947 that Subject had definite Communistic tenden-

cies.

Investigations failed to produce any legal competent

evidence or witnesses to substantiate the raports that subject

had been pro-fomunist or pro-Nazi.

Majority of informants consider Subject to be eccentric,

irresponsible; conceited, an adventurer fond of exaggeration, and

overly aggressive.

Subject has been knon to associate with persons o

questionable loyalty, reputation, and moral character.

Subject, when interviewed, admitted that he tends to exag

gerate

and advised that he thought the Commnist form of govern.

ment of loviet Russia was the better form of government on tha.

European continent, and that he had a great admiration for the

Communistic form of government, but that that did not prevent

him from having a stronger feeling of loyalty to the government

of the United States.

11 July 1948.and divorced 29 December 1949, was employed as a

receptionist by a covert project (NCFS) Exom 1950 to 14 January

1951 when her employment was terminated:: (Reason not given.)

Subject's brother,

Dimitri S. VON MOHRENSCHILDT, was

approved on 11 April 1950 for exploitation

as a contact

for

foreign intelligence purposes on a limited basis; not to receive

classified information above confidential

OS INDICES RESULTS:

OS Files on Subject,

his second wife, and his brother

reflect use by the Agency as set out above.

Subject was

investigated by the FBI in 1941, 1942, 1945,

1947 and 1957.

Between 1940 and 1942 Subject was considered to be pro-German

and suspected of being a German propagandist and an

espionage

agent.

Several informants stated that Subject was in sympathy

with the Communist form of government in Russia but knew

no un-American activities on the part of Subject.:

One

infor-

mant advised in 1947 that Subject had definite Communistic

tendencies.

However, investigations failed to produce any

legal competent evidence or witnesses to substantiate the

reports that Subject had been pro-Communist or pro-Nazi.

The

majority of informants consider Subject to be eccentric,

Irresponsible, conceited, an adventurer fond of exaggeration

and

overly aggressive.

He has been known to associate with

persons of questionable loyalty, reputation and moral character.

Subject has admitted that he tends to exaggerate and stated

that he thought the Conmunist form of government of Soviet

Russia was the better form of government on the European

continent; that he had a great admiration for the Communist

of government but

that this admiration did not prevent him

from having a stronger feeling of loyalty to the government of

the United

States.

A New York Times item for 12 December 1966 mentioned that

George DE MOHRENSCHILDT has been acquainted with Jacqueline

KENNEDY's father,

John BOUVIER, and mother, Mrs. Hugh AUCHIN-

CLOSS, since Mrs. KENNEDY was

a girl.

The DE MOHRENSCHILDT'S

were quoted is saying they were perhaps the only persons in

the world to have known the families of both President KENNEDY

and OSWALD.

Was J. Walton Moore connected with CIA? Was he connected

with the Oswald case?

Answer:

Mr. J. Walton Moore was employed by CIA in the Contact Division

office in Dallas during the early 1960's. His only contact

with the Oswald

case prior to the assassination is recorded in

his 1 May 1964 memorandun to the Acting Chief, Contact

Division, attached at Tab 8 la typed version of the document

is also

attached because of the poor legibility of the

original).

He may have been involved in the Agency's effort to

support the Warren Commission during the Commission's investi-

gations.

Mr. Moore has stated that he was never asked by Mr.

de Mohrenschildt for advice concerning Oswald.

We find no

indication that there was ever any contact between Oswald and

MI. Mooxe.

He wanted to know if I had ever met Lee haryey Oswald

I told him no on both counts and advised that I have not seen or

talked with George delorenschildi since the fall of 1961.

Mr. Russell attempted to draw me into discussion of the

Kennedy assassination which I avoided and wanted to know if I could

give him the name of the chief of the CIA office in Mexico City in

DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

I do know this man DeMohrenschildt.

I first men him in the early 40'3. He was

an uncle

to: my Andover roommate.

Later he surfaced in Dallas~ (50's maybe)

Ile got involved in some controversial

dealings

in Haiti.

Then he surfaced when

Oswald

shot to

prominence. He knew

Oswald before

assassination of

Pres. Kennedy.

I don't recall his role in all this.

At one

time he

had /or spent plenty of

money.

I have

not heard from him for many years until

the attached letter came in.
