Mr. Jenner.

Do you know whether he would be acquainted then with George De Mohrenschildt?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Oh, yes; I'm sure that they had some oil dealings. Now, both Gordon Calder and Zavoico probably had more dealings with George than I had.

Mr. Jenner.

And he lives in Green Farms, Conn.?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Correct.

Mr. Jenner.

And his place is known as "Cronomere"? Is there anything that occurs to you that might be helpful to the Commission, first, in its investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy; and secondly, in regards to the character and integrity of, background and interests of George De Mohrenschildt?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Well, the only thing I can say that I was told--it is a hearsay--that after meeting Marina Oswald--the way Russians met, there was a party somewhere.

Mr. Jenner.

There was what?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

A party--a social gathering.

Mr. Jenner.

A party?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Somewhere I don't remember where.

Mr. Jenner.

Here in this country?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Here in Dallas, and at that party, there were several Russians, and they claimed that in walks George De Mohrenschildt with Marina Oswald and her husband. That's the only thing that out of everything that they told me that stuck in my mind.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you recall anybody who was reported to have been at this party?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Well, I'll say that Mr. Bouhe and Anna Meller.

Mr. Jenner.

M-e-l-l-e-r [spelling]?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Yes; I'm not quite sure there were quite a few other Russians, but it was George who brought the Oswalds into the party.

Mr. Jenner.

We have had some off the record discussions all in the presence of Miss Oliver and Mr. Davis. Is there anything that occurred during our off-the- record discussions that is pertinent, which I have failed to bring out.

Mr. Raigorodsky.

No; if it was pertinent I would not have taken it off of the record.
Now, may I say something myself?

Mr. Jenner.

Certainly.

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Would you care to know what my opinion of the assassination is, or is that just an opinion?

Mr. Jenner.

All right; let's have it.

Mr. Raigorodsky.

I still believe it is a conspiracy.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, on what do you base that opinion?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Well, I have read--I'm quite sure everything that you have read, and you read probably more than I did because you have these interrogations.
There are just so many things that are unbelievable, that a person like Oswald, would be allowed to do the things in Russia.

Mr. Jenner.

We are interested in that sort of an opinion. What is the basis of your opinion in that respect?

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Well, I have studied communism and I have watched them operating, you know.

Mr. Jenner.

All right.
(Discussion between Counsel Jenner and the witness, Raigorodsky, off the record.)

Mr. Jenner.

Now, I want that on the record.

Mr. Raigorodsky.

Well--the fact that they gave you all of the record, they gave you all of the records on Oswald, that he was running around in Russia, marrying a Russian woman, that she was allowed to go out of Russia--I know several cases where they wouldn't allow a person whom Americans marry to come for several years. Here, everything was (snapping his fingers) so--just
