Summary  
The documents detail investigations into Sirhan Sirian (variously spelled SIRIHAN, STIRIAN, or SIRIAN), a Jordanian national with ties to Palestinian refugees in Jordan and the U.S., following the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968. Records from the Refugee Relief Program (IRP) include personal information about Sirian’s family, including his mother Mary Sirhan, siblings Adel Sirian and Munir Bishara Salameh Sirian, and their residences in Jerusalem, Jordan, and Pasadena, California. The IRP conducted background checks for refugee status, verifying passports issued in 1956 and family relationships. U.S. government records from the FBI and consular offices detail Sirian’s education at John Muir High School and Pasadena City College, employment history (e.g., health food store, Santa Anita Race Track), and alleged political affiliations with anti-Israel groups, including the Organization of Arab Students (OAS) and potential ties to Communist Party activities. Sirian was arrested after RFK’s assassination, with interviews highlighting his anti-Semitic views, family disputes, and a 1966 horse accident injury. A Volkswagen observed near political events in Los Angeles is noted as part of surveillance.
