(Testimony of Paul M. Raigorodsky)

Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And the memorandum is for you?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And that includes his handwriting on a notation in the upper right hand corner, "Copy for Mr. Paul Raigorodsky", correct?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Correct.
Mr. Jenner.
The next appears to be the original of a letter on blue stationery, the letterhead of which is "3363 San Felipe Road, Houston, Tex." It has a typewritten signature, "John de Menil" and then apparently is signed by a secretary, and it is addressed to you, is it?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes; and he investigated it later.
Mr. Jenner.
And he is making a report to you and also then decided he Is not interested?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
But read this.
Mr. Jenner.
All right.
Mr. Jenner.
"Dear Paul:
George De Mohrenschildt is a nice man, but I do not think his project is very well cooked. It is slightly visionary and not specific at all. This, of course, is my own personal reaction which I am giving you for your confidential information. It was also the reaction of my friend on Wall Street to whom I talked in the hope that perhaps he could get something out of the idea of George De Mohrenschildt.
With kinds regards and best wishes,
Yours sincerly,
Mr. Jenner.
/S/ JOHN DE MENIL
cp
JdM:cp John de Menil
Mr. Jenner.
Dictated by Mr. de Menil over the telephone from New York."
The next document is a carbon copy of a letter dated August 8, 1962, with the typewritten signature of John de Menil. [Raigorodsky Exhibit No. 9.] It is addressed to Mr. George De Mohrenschildt in Dallas. You received that, did you?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And it was transmitted to you by Mr. de Menil's secretary; is that correct?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
The next is also a carbon copy--this is a letter to Mr. George De Mohrenschildt from Mr. John de Menil and it is dated August 27, 1962, with a copy to Paul Raigorodsky. [Raigorodsky Exhibit No. 10-B.]
From whom did you receive that?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
From Mr. de Menil.
Mr. Jenner.
And then we have an envelope and a card enclosed. The envelope [Raigorodsky Exhibit No. 10], is postmarked in New York May 11, 1963. The envelope is addressed to Mr. Paul M. Raigorodsky, First National Building, Dallas, Tex.
Do you recognize the handwriting?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Sure.
Mr. Jenner.
On the bottom of the envelope and the enclosed card [Raigorodsky Exhibit No. 10-A]?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And is that [Raigorodsky Exhibit No. 10-A] in Mr. De Mohrenschildt's handwriting?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And was it a card enclosed in that envelope?
Mr. Raigorodsky.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
The next is an original of a letter addressed to Raigorodsky, dated June 6, 1963, signed, "Jeanne and George de M." [Raigorodsky Exhibit No. 11.]
Mr. Jenner.
