Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Already then.
Mr. JENNER. Then you already had in mind the venture you are now--in
which you are now engaged?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. I already started then, you see. I made the
first step. I received a letter--I still have it--the letter from the
Minister of Finance--that they are interested in my project, which the
project is to review all the mining resources of Haiti. They don't have
anybody to do that. And we kept on working on it, working and working
and working, corresponding back and forth, until finally there was the
contract in March 1963. In other words, it took me 2 years to get that
contract.
Mr. JENNER. Here, again, this is all business?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Purely business.
Mr. JENNER. No political or like considerations?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No.
Mr. JENNER. You have never been a member of any subversive group?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; never have.
Mr. JENNER. Of what groups have you been a member? And of what groups
are you a member?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I am not a member of any group. Maybe that is
something against me, because I am not a member of any group. I am not
a member--I am not interested. I am too busy.
Mr. JENNER. You are a member of the Petroleum Club in Dallas?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. If you call that a group; yes.
Mr. JENNER. It is a group.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; a member of the Dallas Petroleum Club.
Mr. JENNER. Tell me all the societies or groups, whether you call them
political or otherwise, of which you have been a member.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. None political. You call the Dallas Petroleum
Club political?
Mr. JENNER. No.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Well, I am a member of the Dallas Petroleum
Club. I used to be a member of the Abilene Country Club. I used to be,
because I don't live there any more.
