Gentlemen:
I think the ebove is 4 misnomer. Is there not
sone wey wB can stop this circus about/ Sirhan Sirhan" He
is gullty and should either be to death or sent Hack
whore he came from. Neither nor his fanily are U.S,
citizens _ Why are wB using the taxpayers money to on
this ridiculous performance.
There isn't another country in the world that would
tolerate al1 this nonsense. They would either execute the
person or send thom back and not fool around with all this
waste of money and time.
The evidence I heerd this morning on the TV is
ridiculous too, The attorney claims Sirhan was in a trance
and achieved peace through the shooting- Isn't that great?
Your very truly

Qffice 0 f Fublic Information
Department of Justice
Washington, D. C
Gentlemen :
On 3 February 1969_ Metronedia News
in Washington rcported
as follows :
"Federal asents invcstigating the murder of Senator Robert
Kennedy have uncovered some evidence Tvhich hints at con-
sriracy _
#ken the accused assassin, Sirhan Sirhan , was apprehended,
rolice discovered that keys in his pocket fit a car perked
a block from the hotel _ The car belonged to a kitchen
worker at the hotel at which Kennecy was shot . Reliable
sources also report that the Secret Service had a file
on this kitchen worker, and had it been the president
who was in the hotel, the Secret Service would have detained
the man before the Tresident ever cane to toln _ While
the Secret Service had no file on Sirhan Sirhan before
the Kennedy nurder. thejy did apparently consider thj s
kitchen worker in question at least a thre:t to presidents _
I would like to know wXat investig_
ationr were conductcd by federal acents, and what reports o f that
work are aveilable
