Mr. Jenner. Your whole stay in Yugoslavia, however, was in connection with the International Cooperation Administration?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No; I am glad that you reminded me of that. I developed an idea, being in Yugoslavia, of forming a joint venture to use Yugoslav workers and American equipment.
Mr. Jenner. What workers?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yugoslav workers, who are very good and very inexpensive, to do some drilling in Arabic countries, and using American equipment. One of my clients is John Mecom in Houston, who, among other things, controls Cogwell Oil Well Equipment Co. in Wichita, Kans. And he has been having a hard time selling his equipment lately. So one day we were discussing in Houston what could we do to promote the use of his equipment. And we came to a conclusion that it might be a good idea to form a joint venture, American-Yugoslav joint venture, using cheap Yugoslav labor, and very good labor, to drill in Arabic countries, because there is a great future of doing this, you see.
And John Mecom sent me to Yugoslavia in 1958 to look at the possibility of forming such a venture.
Mr. Jenner. Excuse me. Was this the same year you were in Yugoslavia for the International——
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No; the next year. This was in 1958.
Mr. Jenner. Were you then married?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. You had married your present wife?
