J. Gordon Shanklin was the head of the Dallas FBI office, and it is likely that de Mohrenschildt knew that Moore was CIA. The point is that the Agency's Domestic Contacts person in Dallas was in frequent contact with de Mohrenschildt during the period that he was helping Oswald.

Could de Mohrenschildt have been a CIA "control" for Oswald, with Moore as the reporting channel? Almost certainly not in the traditional sense, unless Moore worked in more than the Domestic Contacts division, whose mission was routine contacts and debriefings. For his part, de Mohrenschildt explicitly denied that Oswald would have been suited for intelligence work. "I never would believe that any government would be stupid enough to trust Lee with anything important," de Mohrenschildt testified, "even the government of Ghana would not give him any job of any type."106 Of course this judgment would be untrustworthy if Moore and de Mohrenschildt were pawns in a plot to murder the president, a highly circumstantial and speculative possibility at best.

Most of the de Mohrenschildt's contact with Oswald took place during the six-month period when the FBI closed its books on him: from October 1962 through March 1963. Wading through the morass of Oswald's personal relationships in Dallas in search of the de Mohrenschildt story is outside the scope of this work. Several new works on Oswald presumably will add much to what we already know about this story. As previously stated, ours is a study focused not on Oswald "the person" but on Oswald "the file"—especially his CIA files. In that regard, looking for an operational CIA channel for de Mohrenschildt is clearly in order. Before moving on, therefore, we must pose this question: Did de Mohrenschildt have other contacts with the CIA?
