Summary: The document is an FBI report from the San Diego SAC to the FBI Director and Los Angeles SAC, dated May 20, 1968. It details a possible threat against Robert F. Kennedy during his speech in Chula Vista, California. A man resembling James Earl Ray approached Keith King, a 14-year-old attendee, asking about Kennedy's next speaking location and seeking a place to eat with a telephone. Local media coverage of James Earl Ray had prompted numerous "lock-a-like" calls but yielded no results. The report notes that Kennedy departed San Diego en route to Los Angeles, leading local authorities not to be advised. The case was handled separately in San Diego, with an air mail copy sent to Memphis. The document references a release under Executive Order 14176 and mentions the Select Committee on Assassinations (SCA) as a preservation directive.
