KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 7 April 1977 MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD SUBJECT : Comments on George de Mohrenschildt Reputed Former CIA Agent REFERENCE: Memo for the Record, dated .4 April 1977 . 1.- In a UPI article (see Tab A) published in the Washington Star of 4 April 1977, George de Mohrenschildt is referred to as a reputed former CIA agent. This remark is a misinterpretation of the facts by the writer of the article. A review of the de Mohrenschildt file reveals that de Mohrenschildt had provided information in December 1957, to a CIA representative in Dallas, Texas, in response to the latter's request, on his trip to Yugoslavia' in 1957 on behalf of the International Cooperation Agency (ICA). This action does not make de Mohrenschildt a CIA agent, rather, -it makes him an unpaid informant. The circumstances pertaining to CIA's interest in de Mohrenschildt's knowledge of conditions in Yugoslavia are set forth in the following paragraphs. 2. On 3 June 1964, the Agency forwarded to J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel, President's Commission on the Assassination of President -Kennedy, the following informa- tion on George de Mohrenschildt. 1. Reference is made to your memorandum of 31 March 1964 requesting any information on George and Jeanne de Mohrenschildt that is available to CIA files. Our review shows-that the files contain reports received from other U.S. Government agencies, primarily the FBI, as. well as some information de- .veloped by this Agency in.1957 and 1958. The review also produced references to information and the Office of Strategic Services. According to the records of those agencies, George de Mohrenschildt had been con- sidered for employment in 1942, but was not hired because he was alleged to be a Nazi espionage agent. No information developed by CIA or its predecessors RETURN TOnCIA BDkround Ue Only Do Not Reproduce
