Mr. Liebeler. Other than the fact that you think he had a bad temper, is there any other reason why you think the Soviets would not recruit him as an agent?

Mr. Gregory. As I say again, I don't think he was very smart.

Mr. Liebeler. Are there any other reasons?

Mr. Gregory. No. Then, of course, his animosity which he expressed toward the Soviet.

Mr. Liebeler. Towards the members of the Communist Party?

Mr. Gregory. Yes. He didn't quite enjoy life over there, and it just didn't enter my mind that he could have been.

Mr. Liebeler. Did it ever enter your mind?

Mr. Gregory. No.

Mr. Liebeler. It is only after the assassination that you considered this question; is that correct?

Mr. Gregory. Even then I never considered it seriously.
