Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Eventually I got into some personal trouble with the vice president, and this time was not kicked out but through mutual agreement it was decided between Warren Smith, who was my president, and a close friend, that I should resign and also——

Mr. Jenner. When did you leave that position?

Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Some time in 1946.

Mr. Jenner. I interrupted you. You were going to add something.

Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Some time in 1946. And also I wanted to come back to the States to renew my citizenship paper application, because I would lose my citizenship papers by staying in Venezuela too long, you see.

It was an American company all right, but I think it was incorporated in Venezuela.

Mr. Jenner. Did you have to have a passport to get to that position in Venezuela?

Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; well, I think I still have my Polish passport. But I had a reentry permit to the States.

Mr. Jenner. So you returned to the United States in 1946?

Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
