Early June 1964: "At a social gathering in Haiti early in June 1964, the de Mohrenschildts said that when they knew Lee Harvey Oswald, he was a very confused and disturbed young man...Mrs. de Mohenschildt said that Mrs. Oswald discussed openly and frankly her marital sex life and often complained about her husband's sexual inadequacy. The de Mohrenschildts felt that this was what provoked Oswald into doing what he did. The de Mohrenschildts were asked if there was any substance to the view expressed in certain foreign periodicals such as L'Express, a left-wing Parisian weekly newspaper, that the Kennedy assassination was a plot organized by Dallas millionaires. George de Mohrenschildt said that President Kennedy was hated by the Dallas elite, and he felt that it was very likely that certain reactionary elements in Dallas had organized a plot to get rid of Kennedy and used a disturbed person such as Oswald to achieve their ends. Mrs. de Mohrenschildt agreed fully with this thesis." Memo of 7/2/64 from DDP Richard Helms to Warren Commission general counsel J. Lee Rankin, citing "reliable sources".
