DESCRIPTION       FYI)
     1.  According to an article in the 1 April 1977 ai    on Star,
George de Mohrenschildt^ ido had befriended the Oswalds in 1962 had
attempted suicide. four .times in 1976. As a result he was committed for
mental care to..the Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas in the fall of
1976.  He was released on 3O December 1976.

     2.  In early Jantiary 1976, according to Willem Oltmans, a Dutch
journalist iworking for Dutch television, who had -known de Mohrenschildt since
at least 1967 and perhaps earlier, de Mohrenschildt told Oltnans that he
was wrting.a.book  entitled I'm a Patsy, I'm a Patsy, It purports to tell
the whole story, of the conspiracy and,. according to Otmans, described how
de Mohrenschildt considered himself responsible for Oswald's actions. The
book has not bee  published. 'nd the manuscript. is apparently .in the bands of
de Mohrenschildt's lawyer, Pat'S. Russell of Dallas.. O1tmans is cited in a
Washnton.Star   article of 31 March. 1977 as stating that de Mohrenschildt
had onceI said, that .I only made up the story (about Oswald) because every.
body makes a million dollars off the Kennedy assassination, and I haven't
made anything.  So now it's my turn.

     3.  In early March 19 77 Willem Oltmans appeared before the House
AssassinationsCommittee  to tell about de Mohrenschildt's decision to tell
his version of the Kennedy murder. . :It was this appearance. before Committee
staffers that prompted .the panel to send Gaetor Fonzi, an investigator, to
Palm -Beach in an attempt to question de-Mohrenschildt. Fonzi- located ihere
de Mohrenschildt was staying in Palm Beach. but was unable to see de
Mohrenschildt.  The. latter shot himself with a 20-gauge shotgun on
29 March 1977, ift:the home of Mrs. Charles Tilton, .III, a relative by -
marriage, about six hours before the interview.was to take place.
