And Mikoyan said, "Thank you very much, some day I will come and see you."
So here was the Mikoyan incident.
Mr. Jenner. That is all of the circumstances of the so-called Mikoyan incident?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. It was pure happenstance and a bit of fun?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. That is right.
Mr. Jenner. And you, in fact, declined the same invitation?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; I declined to go—purely for business reasons—because I didn't want my clients to think that I was buddy buddy with Mikoyan.
Mr. Jenner. Now, this trip of yours down through Mexico, and the Central American countries—wasn't that about the time of the Bay of Pigs invasion?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. It was indeed; yes. And we didn't know anything about it.
