Mr. Taylor.

Uh--well, that's---uh--I have heard them say everything--from saying that he was a Republican and she expressed democratic ideals, and they expressed desires to return to Russia and live---so, it's all colors of the spectrum.
Anything that--again, so much of what they do is what fits the moment. Whatever fits their designs or desires at the moment is the way they do it.

Mr. Jenner.

Uh-huh. When did you marry your present wife?

Mr. Taylor.

In--let's see---on November 21, 1959.

Mr. Jenner.

Your present wife?

Mr. Taylor.

Oh, I'm sorry. That was Mr. De Mohrenschildt's daughter that I married on that date. We married on September 28, 1963.

Mr. Jenner.

Have you had any correspondence from either of the De Mohrenschildts in which there have been any allusions to the assassination of President Kennedy or to either of the Oswalds?

Mr. Taylor.

I have not personally received any correspondence at all from them. My parents have received correspondence from them---none of which mentioned--I take that back--in one case, the assassination was mentioned in passing; and the Oswalds were not mentioned in specifics.

Mr. Jenner.

I take it, your parents are acquainted with the De Mohrenschildts?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And does that acquaintance go back prior to your acquaintance with the De Mohrenschildts?

Mr. Taylor.

No; that acquaintance was after Alex and I got married.

Mr. Jenner.

I see. All right. Now, we have had some discussions off the record. I will ask you first--is there anything you would like to add that occurs to you that you think might be helpful--as an occurrence having taken place or even general thoughts on your part--to the Commission in this important investigation it has undertaken?

Mr. Taylor.

Well, the only thing that occurred to me was that--uh--and I guess it was from the beginning--that if there was any assistance or plotters in the assassination that it was, in my opinion, most probably the De Mohrenschildts.

Mr. Jenner.

On what do you base that?

Mr. Taylor.

I base that on--uh--their desire, first of all, to---uh--return to Russia at one time and live there; uh--they have traveled together behind the Iron Curtain; uh--they took a trip to Mexico, through Mexico, on the avowed purpose of walking from Laredo, Tex., to the tip of South America--

Mr. Jenner.

Panama?

Mr. Taylor.

And---

Mr. Jenner.

On beyond that?

Mr. Taylor.

Beyond--to the tip of South America--the southern tip of South America.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.

Mr. Taylor.

Uh--and this they claim to have done, yet further information indicated to me that their trip extended only to the portion of South America where the Cuban refugees were being trained to invade Cuba and that this trip coincided and that they were in the area while all this training was going on. And, so, from that--from these observations----

Mr. Jenner.

Do you conclude that they were attempting to spy on that invasion preparation?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes; because where--they went to Guatemala where the invasion troops were being trained, or they were in Guatemala when they were supposed to be on a walking trip, and had taken up residence in the unoccupied home of some acquaintances there and--unbeknowing to anyone and when these acquaintances returned----

Mr. Jenner.

This was the trip during the time you were married to their daughter?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

You are basing this information on communications from them, conversations with your wife, conversations that occurred after they returned?

Mr. Taylor.

Yes; and to clarify it on the last point here, about them being in Guatemala, in conversations with Nancy Tilton.
