mr. oltmans. No, he mentioned by name Mr. Parker of FBI says it is extremely unpleasant for him because if that name come out now, he is very on top of FBI at this moment and I am sure they will not want that to come out. But Mr. Tanenbaum, I understand that from a lawyer’s point of view, that if you had traveled with Mr. de Mohrenschildt, I think you would not have walked away in Brussels, but probably already in Dallas. You see, I didn’t approach him as a bulldozer. I tiptoed and was trying to get him on the plane. I would not have gotten him on the plane to ask all the nasty questions I had to ask, I was playing a very diplomatic game by trying to get him to Europe, to feel him more safe, more relaxed. I have the whole thing, we have a whole staff of Dutch Television, trying to do a job to get all these questions answered. But the mishap was that the guy, we asked probably already too difficult questions during that meeting in the publishing house that he was cramped, he really became petrified again, get him now without him running. He was running so much now that he killed himself. Now, we are nowhere.

mr. tanenbaum. Just one last question, Mr. Oltmans.

mr. oltmans. Yes.

mr. tanenbaum. George de Mohrenschildt, you say, was negotiating to tell what he knew about the assassination?

mr. oltmans. Yes, he did agree. As a matter of fact, that the contract had been drawn up.

mr. tanenbaum. The contract was already drawn up.

mr. oltmans. Was being drawn up that we had.

mr. tanenbaum. I take it that Dutch Television was going to pay him a fee.

mr. oltmans. And publishing house; yes, sir.115

mr. tanenbaum. Were going to pay him a fee, for telling what he knew, is that right?

mr. oltmans. No, for telling the story, for writing a book, yes.

mr. tanenbaum. And telling the story about what he knew?

mr. oltmans. Yes.

mr. tanenbaum. In your presence did he question him about what he knew?

mr. oltmans. Carefully, carefully. They were—some questions were asked, especially about the manuscript and what was in it, that is why we made the call to Dallas, and we felt that most of what he wanted to say was in that manuscript.

mr. tanenbaum. Did he tell him to justify their giving him a fee for what he knew, did George de Mohrenschildt tell these people for whom he was negotiating the contract, did he tell them the details about what he knew?

mr. oltmans. Apparently enough for them to conclude the contract with him.

mr. tanenbaum. Were you present when that was being discussed?

mr. oltmans. I was present, yes, I was present.

mr. tanenbaum. Do you recall during those conversations what, if anything, George de Mohrenschildt said about the assassination?

mr. oltmans. I would not be able to recall anything specifically but it was in general terms discussed. He was holding back because he said he first wanted to see the papers and to agree on a contract.
