Mr. Jenner. You didn't?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. We didn't know anything about it.
Mr. Jenner. Your trip had nothing whatsoever to do with that?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Nothing to do with it—except I remember we arrived in Guatemala City, and by God you know we walked on the street, we were trying to get some visas to get to the next country—you have to get visas and permits to carry guns. We had to carry a revolver with us to protect us, because we were going constantly through a jungle. We did not follow any roads. We were all the time following the trails.
Mr. Jenner. The old Conquistador trails?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; we carried two revolvers and a shotgun with us, And to be able to cross the border you had to get permit each time. That took us in Guatemala City quite some time. We were walking around the town trying to get a permit to Nicaragua, and to San Salvador, and to Honduras. And as we were walking on the street we saw a lot of white boys, dressed in civilian, but they looked like military men to me.
And I said to Jeanne, "By God, they look like American boys."
The consulate—we received our mail through the American consulate.
Mr. Jenner. In Guatemala City?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Everywhere—Guatemala City, San Salvador—not Honduras, but in San Jose—everywhere we received our mail through the consulate or the Embassy. And I was asking the help of the consul there—could they help me to get a permit to go to Honduras and carry my shotgun there.
