Kennedy, that he was not tied to any intelligence agency, and that none of his associates were tied to the assassination. Nevertheless, speculation continued to center about one of Oswald's associations : George de Mohrenschildt and de Mohrenschildt's background. The Warren Com- mission concluded about de -Mohrenschildt The Commission's investigation has developed no signs of subversive or disloyal conduct on the part of either of the de Mohrenschildts. Neither the FBI, CIA, nor any other wit- ness contacted by the Commission has provided any informa- tion linking the, de Mohrenschildts to subversive or extremist organizations. Nor has there been any evidence linking them in any way with the assassination of President Kennedy.
