might be of economic value to Haiti, and to those who might be willing to risk their capital to develop it?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. This is the only purpose I have--purely business promotional project.

Mr. Jenner.

And this is in no way linked, directly, indirectly, or in any remote possibility, with any mapping of this country with great care for the possibility of its being employed by any other nation or group?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; no other nation could use my maps, and no other project, except our own commercial and geological project--nothing else.
Anyway, the whole Island of Haiti has been mapped in complete precision by the U.S. Government already, and the maps are available right here in Washington. And my office in Port-au-Prince, actually they are officers of Inter-American Geodetic Survey.
On one side is the American representative of the Geodetic Survey, and on the other side I am doing my geological work in the same building. He helps me with some of his equipment, some of his advice, some of his maps, and we pursue our own work there.
I employed in the last 8 months since we have been in Haiti an Italian geologist who came specially to Haiti from South America, with all the equipment, and stayed with us for several months. I employed a Swiss assistant. I employed--I am employing an American geologist right now, recommended by the University of Texas, who is living in Haiti with his family, and whose salary I am paying; I am responsible for him.
I have also, in addition to that, employed a prospector from Alaska, an American. And I am employing a group of Haitian engineers and geologists engineers, not geologists, because they don't have geologists. Engineers. And it is a project which--for which the Haitian Government is supposed to pay me $285,000, out of which they pay $20,000 in cash, and the rest they are paying from the interest in the sisal plantation at Mont Rouis.
This plantation started to be operated jointly by Mr. Clemard J. Charles, president of the Commercial Bank of Haiti, and myself; and now Mr. Charles is operating it for me, doing all the administrative work, and I am pursuing my geological work.
Up to now, we found some things which were indicated on the map here.

Mr. Jenner.

I don't want you to reveal any business secret, because I appreciate--all I am getting at is the general description of the project, and its good faith.
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That is right. I hope that this will be sufficiently justified in good faith.

Mr. Jenner.

And these documents we have identified are documents which you sent to Mr. Raigorodsky with what thought in mind?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. With the thought of having him eventually participate in various enterprises which may come out of it.

Mr. Jenner.

Such as?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Such as development of small industries, development of oil production, development of new hotels and new resorts, et cetera. Because the country is open to new business and I think has excellent opportunities for American investments.

Mr. Jenner.

All right. Now, you have expressed an opinion, have you not, as to the activity or lack of activity on the part of the FBI in connection with the assassination of the President?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Well, I think that they should have sent away from Dallas every suspicious person, like any other country would do--when somebody--when an important figure arrives to town, and there are deranged people, or people who have habits of shooting guns at targets or ones who have been traitors to their country to some extent, you know--any controversial people should be not necessarily put to jail, but sent away from the town.

Mr. Jenner.

And you have Lee Oswald in mind, do you?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; I have Lee Oswald in mind.

Mr. Jenner.

You assume that the FBI was aware that he had this weapon, and he was target practicing with it?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That I do not know, whether they had that knowledge
