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 Ukraine in (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 he 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. citizenlin .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.engLneering 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 . . . . 2. Somewhat of a non-conformist, de Mohrenschildt was a peripheral member of the so-called Russian community, in Dallas, with which Lee Harvey Oswald made contact through Peter Gregory, a Russian-speaking petroleum engineer whom Oswald met as a result of his contact with the Texas Employment Commission office in Fort Worth. Occasional contacts with de Mohrenschildt and his wife continued until May 1963 when the de Mohrenschildt's went to Haiti. 3. There is voluminous material on de Mohrenschildt in CIA files, most of it dating from the post-Kennedy assassi- nation period when he testified before the Warren Commission E2 IMPDET CL BY 061197 V *~ - ~ J. ..; -. ..
