"George de Mohrenschildt was not entirely idle in Haiti. Feb. 1, 1965 found him near Postel, exploring a source for fresh water in southern Haiti. It was in that area that he had discovered that deposit of bauxite that would turn out to contain fourteen million tons. It was a discovery, Paul Johnson/EVMINCE-1 had believed, that 'could have a substantial influence on the economy of the country. Of course, the Reynolds Mining Corporation was already mining bauxite in Haiti, rendering de Mohrenschildt's discovery less importance. CIA wondered whether de Mohrenschildt would reveal his bauxite discovery before he was assured of his own percentage. He had 'not told anyone else of his discovery', EVMINCE-1 informed his superiors. CIA had to be cautious. If news of de Mohrenschildt's discovery of bauxite was leaked, it would be traceable to CIA informant Paul Johnson, EVMINCE-1. In a dispatch entitled 'Possible Economic Standing of George de Mohrenschildt', CIA's Chester D. Dainold (a pseudonym for Desmond FitzGerald) urged that CIA be discreet so as to keep EVMINCE-1 'perfectly clean'. EVMINCE-1 had 'expressed his intense dislike of men he cannot completely trust and a slip at this time would affect the presently good operational relationship with him.' In Haiti, as elsewhere, a reliable operative was hard to find."
