Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Never, never.
Mr. JENNER. Any government?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. You can repeat it three times.
Mr. JENNER. Any government?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No. I could take what you call the fifth
amendment, but, frankly, I don't need to.
Mr. JENNER. I should say to you, Mr. De Mohrenschildt, that any time
you think that your privacy is being unduly penetrated, or that you
feel that your constitutional rights might be invaded, or you feel
uncomfortable, you are free to express yourself.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. You are more than welcome. I have never been
an agent of any government, never been in the pay of any government,
except the American Government, the ICA. And except being in the Polish
Army--$5 a month.
Well, maybe I made a mistake. Maybe I am working for the Haitian
Government now. It is a contract. But it has no political affiliations.
Mr. JENNER. Subject to that.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Again, no political angle to it.
Mr. JENNER. What I am driving at--whether you work for a foreign
government or not, whether you ever have in your lifetime--have you at
any time had any position, which I will call political, in the capital
P sense, in which you sought to advance the interests of a movement or
a government or even a group against a government?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Never have. Never was even a Mason. Never part of
any political group.
Mr. JENNER. And any views you have expressed during your rather
colorful life have been your personal views?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Personal views; yes.
Mr. JENNER. Not induced or fed or nurtured by any political interests,
with a capital P, on behalf of any group?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right. Sometimes I criticize things, like
in Texas--I criticize the lack of freedoms that the Mexicans have, the
discrimination, and things like that. But nobody pays me for that. I
say what I think.
