Summary  
The documents include correspondence from the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division regarding Sirhan B. Sirhan’s trial for the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, referencing delays in legal proceedings and public concerns about judicial inefficiencies. Letters mention President Lyndon B. Johnson’s engagement with public inquiries and administrative forms unrelated to the case. A State Department telegram dated October 1968 details Sirhan’s planned travel from Beirut to Kuwait, noting his intent to raise funds for his son’s defense. The telegram identifies Jordanian Member of Parliament Abdulalaa Salem Al-Uri as accompanying Sirhan, described as a Fatah sympathizer. Redacted sections and references to U.S. intelligence agencies (e.g., CIAE, INR) appear in the telegram. A separate letter dated July 19, 1968, addresses the President, expressing grief over RFK’s assassination and questioning the absence of justice for the perpetrator, with unclear numerical references ("16/6-6-4-6") and a file notation "FILE L.M.S."
