Summary  
The documents detail a telephone threat made to Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) by an unknown individual known as "Liza" on May 24, 1968. The subject, identified as a middle-aged, sober female, contacted Chris Fresquez, the clerk at RFK's campaign headquarters in Albuquerque, New Mexico, six times. During these calls, she threatened to kill RFK if he were elected president and accused Fresquez of being a "no good, lazy person." She also claimed the government was wasting money on guarding Jackie Kennedy and stated her first name was Liza, noting she owned an eight-acre estate. The FBI notified Bernalillo County Sheriff Joe Wilson and Secret Service agent Thurmond Babb by 3:30 PM on May 24, 1968. Subsequent communications between the FBI and Secret Service outline follow-up actions, including notifying agencies and submitting amended reports.
