(Testimony of George S. De Mohrenschildt Resumed)

Mr. Jenner.
was in Belgium while you were still there, just before you came back to this country.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No, no; before I came back for the first time to this country.
Mr. Jenner.
That is correct.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. Because it is my brother who helped me to arrange my passport and my entrance. He didn't help me financially, but arranged my permit.
Mr. Jenner.
To refresh your recollection, the passport records indicate that your brother applied for a passport for a visit in 1936, to visit Poland and France for 3 months, and for the purpose of visiting his family, and collecting material for magazine articles.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Does that square with your recollection?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is about the right time when I first saw him after many, many years--we took a trip together to see our father in Poland.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, at that time, he had already completed his work at Yale, had he not?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
He obtained his degree at Yale in 1926?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. I don't know what year he completed.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he take some additional----
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. He took a Ph.D. at Columbia. But I don't know what year he received his Ph.D.
Mr. Jenner.
Well, I would suggest to you it was 1927.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Ph.D. at Columbia? I don't know the year exactly.
Mr. Jenner.
Your brother travels relatively frequently, does he not?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; he travels whenever he had--whenever he can get away from teaching.
Mr. Jenner.
And he is a Ph.D. and a professor at Dartmouth College?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. He is a full professor at Dartmouth College.
Mr. Jenner.
Hanover, N.H.?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right. He also is editor of the Russian Review, a magazine.
Mr. Jenner.
Didn't he found that?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; he founded that magazine.
Mr. Jenner.
And what does he teach at Dartmouth?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. I think he is a professor of Russian culture, Russian civilization, history.
Mr. Jenner.
Do you recall--is this a description of him: He is a white male, 5 foot 11 inches tall, gray hair, brown eyes?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; very strong brown eyes, very dark brown eyes.
Mr. Jenner.
Unlike yours that are blue?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. He is browneyed.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you see your brother when he visited Europe in 1957?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; an amazing thing happened. You know, he didn't know that we were in Europe.
Mr. Jenner.
Neither knew that the other was?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Neither knew. And we bumped into each other in the most crowded street in Paris. It is an amazing coincidence.
Mr. Jenner.
Does your brother have a mustache?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. He used to. I don't think he has now. He may have grown it lately.
Mr. Jenner.
Your daughter Alexandria has another given name, hasn't she--- Romeyn?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes. That is a family name of the Piersons.
Mr. Jenner.
She was born April 17--December 25, 1943. We brought that out yesterday.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Christmas Day.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.
