Now, I am very sorry that in the past years I have had some correspondence with George but I didn't keep it, but then when things began to pop up and his name appeared in so many different things, I thought I better keep a file on him. Mr. JENNER. Apparently this Haitian venture was in gestation or in the works as far back as 1962, is that what you understand? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Yes; you know, he was consultant to the Yugoslav Government? Mr. JENNER. He was a consultant to the Yugoslavian Government? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. He was a consultant to the Yugoslavian Government. In fact, he was sent to Yugoslavian Government with the blessing of our Government, maybe--I don't know under what protocol that we were helping the Yugoslavians, and he went over there but peculiarly, in order to receive the appointment he had to have recommendations of some man known in the industry, and he didn't come to me--I can say this--I don't brag, but if he came to me that would have meant something to him because I was with the Government on a couple or two or three times, but instead of that he goes to Jake Hamon, a close friend of mine, and asked him for a recommendation on that job. Jake said he would not give him a recommendation unless he consults me. That surprised me that he wouldn't ask me right off the bat, but he went around about way. What could I do? Of course I said, technically on the job he is perfectly all right, I mean, he is a good engineer--good petroleum engineer. Mr. JENNER. And that's your opinion of him? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Oh, yes, without any question. You know, that field is quite a field--that you have to be supplied with a knowledge of underground structures and movement of the oil, and he had a good job, and as far as I know he quit the job--he was not fired. Mr. JENNER. Are you acquainted with his reputation in this community for truth and veracity? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Well, I'll say there is no other way around this--I don't think his reputation is that of a truthful person. Mr. JENNER. His reputation in that respect is poor or bad? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Bad. Mr. JENNER. Bad, and his reputation in the community as a man of morals, character, and integrity--is that bad or good? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Bad. Mr. JENNER. And his reputation in the community as a man of capability in the profession which he pursues? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. Good. Mr. JENNER. For example--as a petroleum geologist? Mr. RAIGORODSKY. No; petroleum engineer--good. His knowledge of languages is good. In fact, he taught at the University of Texas. I believe he taught French or Spanish after he went to school there, where my daughter went, one of my daughters, and my son-in-law also went there at the same time. Mr. JENNER. What is his reputation in the community as being a loyal American? If he has a reputation?
