Mr. Jenner. But that group didn't interest you?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. No, no; nor any other group.
Mr. Jenner. I notice in the papers at my disposal some participation on your part in a foreign council discussion group in Dallas.
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; I belonged to that group—I don't remember during what period—and came quite often to the meetings.
Mr. Jenner. What is the name of it?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. The Dallas Council of World Affairs. I met quite a few people at the meetings. But they were open, public meetings, where international affairs were discussed. I remember several of the Dallas real conservatives called that Dallas council very leftist. But I never noticed anything in particular.
Mr. Jenner. Were there people of substance that participated in that group?
Mr. De Mohrenschildt. Yes; very much so. Mr. Marcus was the president of it. Mr. McGee was the president of it.
Mr. Mallon was president of that, and actually organized this group. Mr. Mallon is chairman of the board of Dresser Industries. But they invited some people to Dallas who are possibly socialists—I don't remember seeing anyone, but I guess they might have invited them.
Mr. Jenner. Did you on any occasion to express a view or say to anybody in Dallas among your friends that Oswald was an idealistic Marxist?
