According to the Warren Commission Report, page 283 George de Mohrenschildt is a highly individualistic person of-varied interests. He was born-in (Mozyr) in the Russian .Ukrainein (17 April) 1911 and fled Russia with his parents.in 1921 during the civil disorder following the revolution. He was in -a.Polish cavalry military academy for 1 1/2 years. Later h' studied in Antwerp and attended the University-of Liege.from which he received a doctor's.degree in international commerce in 1928. Soon thereafter, he emi- grated to the United .States; he became a U.S. citizen in.1949. De Mohrenschildt eventually became interested in oil explora- tion.and-production; he entered the University of Texas in 1944 and received a master's degree in petroleum geology and petroleum .engineering in 1945. He has since become active as a petroleum engineer throughout the world. In 1960, after the death of his son, he and his wife made an 8-month hike from the-United States-Mexican border to Panama over primitive jungle trails. By happenstance they were in Guatemala City at.the time of the Bay-of Pigs invasion. A lengthy film and complete written log was prepared by de Mohrenschildt and a report of .the trip was made to the U.S. Government. Upon arriving in Panama they journeyed to Haiti where de Mohren-. .schildt eventually became involved in a Government-oriented business venture -in which he .has been.engaged continuously since June 1963 . .

Occasional.contacts with de Mohrenschildt and his wife continued until May-1963 when the de Mohrenschildt's went to Haiti. 3.
