Mr. Jenner. Now, while you were making your trip down through Mexico and the Central American countries, the Bay of Pigs invasion occurred, did it not?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Yes. But we learned about it much later.
Mr. Jenner. Excuse me. Were you aware of the Bay of Pigs invasion in advance?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. Advance? We were not even aware at the time of it.
Mr. Jenner. You were not?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. No. But we noticed something very funny. We noticed some young people running around with little tiny hats. They looked like American boys. And then when we—we had——
Mr. Jenner. Where was that?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. In Guatemala City. We have all our mail always sent to the American Embassy, in each country, and then as we arrived, asked them to hold it. They have been wonderful about it. So the minute we arrived to the city—we leave our mule and go right away to the Embassy to pick up our mail. And it was very funny. There was such a commotion, such confusion in the American Embassy, we just remarked about it. They were running around, busy, busy. I forgot the name of the American consul. He was on the phone all the time, such a confusion was going on.
So we noticed that. And we noticed those funny looking boys running around. I thought they were Canadian boys. And later on we learned that there was an invasion.
So maybe that was the people that were involved in it.
