Summary  
The documents detail multiple FBI FD-302 interview records and investigative reports from June 1968 related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Key elements include:  
- Sydney Morris (Montreal, Quebec) reported in 1968 that an individual named "M.K." had information about an assassination plot against RFK three years prior, mentioning a person who intended to kill Kennedy. The RCMP noted this matter was under investigation by CPL Turgon and involved obtaining a tape from G.K.  
- Carlton Laverne Hayes (Compton, California) was interviewed regarding his presence at the Ambassador Hotel during RFK’s assassination. He claimed he met John AHNEDT (possibly AHNENDT), who wanted to distribute anti-Kennedy literature but did not participate in the shooting. Hayes stated he never saw Sirihan Bishara and had no knowledge of an assassination plan.  
- James Riddle Hoffa (USP Lewisburg, PA) denied any involvement in a supposed contract on RFK, stating he would not comment further on allegations. Samuel Dististi and Anthony Provenzano, also inmates at USP Lewisburg, similarly denied hearing about such a plot from Hoffa.  
- Zivad Ibrahim Husani (New Jersey) reported that the Arab Students Organization issued disclaimers denying any association with Sirihan Bishara, who was alleged to have assassinated RFK. The organization sent telegrams expressing condolences to RFK’s family.  
- Winfred Holder (Hope Hotel, Los Angeles) described John Wright as a man who claimed he witnessed Sirihan Bishara in the Ambassador Hotel kitchen on June 4, 1968. Wright stated he saw someone attempt to stop Kennedy but did not see the shooting occur. Wright also mentioned rumors of a plot against RFK among hotel staff.  
- Caroline Pettinato (Hope Hotel) relayed Wright’s story, noting he used an alias, had ties to the Black Muslims, and claimed seven kitchen workers were offered $1 million for the assassination. Wright was described as having a Southern accent, short hair, and coarse skin.  
- Ronald R. Huntley (Oregon) reported observing two men near the Benson Hotel kitchen during a public event on May 28, 1968, where RFK spoke. He described one man as heavyset with a weapon-like object under his coat and another as slender, resembling a suspect in news photos of the assassination.  
- Lorena Kurtz (Los Angeles) claimed to have knowledge of a conspiracy involving "Stirian Stirhan" in RFK’s assassination but provided inconsistent statements, including possible intoxication.  
- George B. Marwick (Mountain View, California) described Leonard L. Edwards, who owned firearms and made remarks about violence, including comments on killing political figures. Edwards was noted to have a history of gun ownership and frequent camping trips.  
- Leonard Lawrence Edwards denied making threats or statements related to RFK’s assassination, stating he does not support violence. He listed his firearms, physical description, and marital status.  
- William McCarthy (Boston) reported seeing an individual resembling Stirian at the Ambassador Hotel on June 4, 1968, describing him as early 20s with dark curly hair and Mediterranean features.  
- James McEvoy (UC Davis) recalled a young man in 1966 who resembled Stirian but could not confirm his identity. Kenneth Hanp (Davis) described a similar individual observed during RF.
