Summary  
The documents include FBI FD-302 forms (Rev. 4-15-64) and Pasadena Police Department records detailing interviews with individuals regarding SIRHAN BISHARA SIRHAN, an individual linked to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Interviews conducted in June 1963–1968 focused on his presence at billiard parlors in Pasadena, financial transactions, associations with Arab student groups, and potential motives tied to political views. Key details include a cashier’s check issued by Crocker-Citizens National Bank in April 1968 payable to Sirhan Stirian; statements from Alvin Clark describing conversations on April 10, 1968, where Stirian expressed anti-Kennedy sentiments and referenced “killing that S.O.B.” (Senator Robert Kennedy); and financial records, family connections, and alleged alcoholism. The FBI maintained an identification record for Sirhan Bishara Sirian, including his alleged birthdate (3-19-11), address in Pasadena, and connection to the RFK assassination. A separate record notes a bicycle theft involving Sirhan Sirian in 1961 and a traffic stop on June 5, 1968, where a suspect was mistakenly linked to a Los Angeles PD warrant.
