Pacific Daylight Time, June 6, 1968, at the Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles. After the assailant was taken into custody by authorities, he 0 refused to identify himself or otherwise discuss this matter: He was 1 shortly thereafter charged by the Los Angeles Police Department with intent to commit murder and held on $250, 000 bond His brother 3 Adel Sirhan, notified authorities a8 to Sirhans true identity. The FBI subsequently identified Sirhan's fingerprints as being identical with those of an individual by the same name which were submitted by the California State Horse Racing Board during 1965. According to the Los Angeles Police Department; the weapon used in the assassination was an eight-shot 22 caliber Iver Johnson pistol, All eight shots were expended Records of the California Department of Justice show this pistol to have been sold on August 10, 1965, `to one Albert Leslie Hertz of Alhambra; California: It was subsequently traced by police authorities through several parties to one of Sirhan's brothers, Munir Sirhan 7r Ja: 24196) JJ6 RAU Time, "}r9 Wxeily 1.iJr.ey Ca_era Wv ================================================== Page 5 ================================================== ASSASSINATION OF SENATOR ROBERT F= KENNEDY Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, according to records of the Immi- gration and Naturalization Service, Los Angeles, California, was born on in Jerusalem, Palestine. His current address was PII given as 696 East Howard Street, Pasadena, California. Immigration and Naturalization Service records show he entered this country on January 12, 1957_ with his father, Bishara Salameh Ghattas Sirhan, his mother, Mary, four brothers and a sister who is now deceased. His brothers, Adel, Munir, and Saidallah; are currently shown as residing with their mother and Sirhan at 696 East Howard Street, Pasadena, California. The fourth brother, Sharif, is a resident of,Highland Park, California. His father allegedly resides now in Jordan. Our Los Angeles Office reports that Sirhan Bishara Sirhan graduated from high school in Pasadena, California. He thereafter attended Pasadena College, a junior college, for approximately two years, but did not graduate. He formerly worked as a race horse exercise boy and during September, 1966, sustained a head injury after falling from a horse. Interviews with his family indicate his behavior has changed considerably Since this injury. Records of the State of California reveal he was awarded a settlement on March 27 , 1968, in the sum of $2, 000. His brother, advised the assailant has been unemployed for the past three months. When taken into custody he had $409 in cash on his person. During a search of his room in the Pasadena family home numerous items,_including notations advocating the overthrow of the President of the United States and statements alluding to the necessity for assassinating Robert F. Kennedy , were found. According to United States Attorney William Matthew Byrne, Jr. Central District of California, who had been in contact with the office of the Los Angeles County District Attorney, this material should not be disclosed publicly prior to the trial nor should it be made available to unauthorized persons since it could have & serious adverse effect upon successful prosecution in either Federal or State court. One handwritten page bearing the date May 18, 1968, 9:45 a. m., contains numerous notations among which are determination to eliminate RFK is becoming more the more of an unshakeable obsession. M1 "RFK must die RFK must be killed. Ti Robert F Kennedy must be assassinated; Another page contains the handwritten statement that "The s0-called President of the United States 2 City Adel, "My ================================================== Page 6 ================================================== ASSASSNNATION OF SENATOR ROBERT F_ KENNEDY of America will be advised of their punishments for their treasonable crimes against the state. More over we believe that the glorious United States of America will eventually be felled by a blow of an assassin's bullet. I A third page contains the following statement: "Ambassador Goldberg must die die die. Repeated numerous times on this same page M appears "Golderg will be illiminated: Page four contains the statement "Kennedy must die Kennedy must fall, Ti which is repeated numerous times. ~Page five contains the statement that "RFK must be disposed of like his brother was. M The statement "I advocate the overthrow of the current President of the (obscene) United States of America: I have no absolute plans but soon will compose some" appears on page Six. Page seven contains the statement "Well, my solution to this type of Govt, today is to do away with its leaders and declare anarchy, the best form of Govt. or no Govt. M1 On page eight appears the statement "I believe that I can effect the death of Bert C. Altfillisch; Ii who was the employer of Sirhan at the time he was thrown from a horse during September, 1966. Also appearing was the notation "Robert F. Kennedy must be assassinated before 5 June 68. M In addition, a source who has furnished reliable information in the past and who is an active member of the Communist Party in California advised that he received information from an associate of Sirhan's to the effect he was extremely anti-Semitic in his views, was in favor of the Vietcong and supported some Communist Party ideals. Si rhan, according to this source, had been thoroughly briefed on Communist Party activities at the University of California at Los Angeles within the last two weeks. Although it was reported to this source that an attempt had been made to recruit Sirhan into the Communist Sirhan allegedly has not engaged in any Communist Party activities. 3 yet Party, ================================================== Page 7 ================================================== ASSASSINA TION OF SENATOR ROBERT F= KENNEDY Investigation by the FBI is continuing in order to determine the full facts surrounding this situation and in order to ascertain if Sirhan acted alone_ 4 - ================================================== Page 8 ================================================== L~ 6-/962 I16 - Ix61 loJ Fu 21 :4C8 Ak 7Zcsl &m T F Bl ~z) aell Gocl ueclez Kv ~z ed Kenczl Aecan ) Hua1 & No Qu _sBel ~ Yz JU; HD 25 '08 ALel ~ _leavv daxm)x~ tk 7.S.0 , th 9 ma houe alz Q Zt ce Onecuene) _6 EELE-ReRA<' lue Lkone ~ # US A Q-A6-' agaln 7^ .

Youeastze you are under tremendous pressures in fulfilling duties as Attorney General but you do the country &nd the people a grave injustice when you make unsubstantiated statements during a_ crisis, You probably wish to reassure the people, but a11 you do is make them fearful and doubtful of you. I refer to your statements following the assassination 0f and again following the shooting of 'Senator Robert Kennedy- In both instances, before you could possibly have had time to make any kind 0f investigation, you went on the air to announce M There was no organized conspiracyl In the case of Dr _ you went further and announced an imminent capture of the killer, when you must have been aware this was poppycock. You insult the intelligence of the and create doubt with these irresponsible utterings _ I would strongly urge, for the future, that no public statement be made until you can tell uS the truth, The people of our country are confused enough without adding to the turmoil what we want now i8 TRUTH, not blandishments .
