Summary  
The document contains a letter dated May 3, 1977, from Robert J. Joling to President Jimmy Carter requesting federal intervention in the investigation of Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination.

The materials are archived at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. A separate section notes a Spanish communication referencing information about RFK’s murderers, though no further details are provided.
