Mr. Jenner. Who is Mrs. Bouvier?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Mrs. Bouvier is Jacqueline Kennedy's mother, also her father and her whole family. She was in the process of getting a divorce from her husband. I met him, also. We were very close friends. We saw each other every day. I met Jackie then, when she was a little girl. Her sister, who was still in the cradle practically. We were also very close friends of Jack Bouvier's sister, and his father.
Mr. Jenner. Well, bring yourself along.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. That friendship more or less remained, because we still see each other, occasionally—Mrs. Auchincloss, and occasionally correspond.
Well, then, I realized there was no future selling perfume or materials in the State, and having had that background of the oil industry in my blood, because my father was the director of Nobel Enterprises, which is a large oil concern in Russia, which was eventually expropriated and confiscated, and I decided to come and try to work for an oil company. I arrived in Texas.
Mr. Jenner. Excuse me, sir. Before we get there—because that skips some things—one of your efforts was as an insurance salesman?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; that is right.
Mr. Jenner. And——
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. How did you know that?
Mr. Jenner. You were unsuccessful in that, were you?
