It is only a slim clue in my estimation-but-I believe you could check it out.The TIME, is just after Sen.Kennedy was shotAt the time he was lying on the floor of the pantry of the Hotel.The TV cameras switched out to the bigger room.On a platform-about 3 feet off the floor were a group of people. It seems they were waiting for Sen.Kennedy to make an appearance- ance! Now a girl appeared) she wore a white dress with black spots) She approached a medium sized young man and spoke to him.It didn't seem to me, that was a normal way to speak.She lowered her head and laughed to herself.Now she raised her head told her friend something else and then she left. All this while the man an ARAB? was transfixed gazing in the direction whence this girl had come/he said very little to her and when he did it want a natural manner of speaking. TO ME-it seemed she had imparted to him some information whi- ch was out of the ordinary. This is about all I can say-It either is or it isn't the girl in question. Sincerely yours; George C.

Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, the assassin of Senator Robert Kennedy, was a member of the Rosicrucian, San Jose, California, a philosophical order with religious implications.

On June 5, 1968, the LAPD obtained a wirebound notebook at Sirhan's residence in Pasadena, California, which included the name of racehorse jockey Braulio Baeza. However, on June 7, officials from the Thoroughbred Racing Protective Association advised that Baeza was currently in New York for the racing season.

A correction was made to a previous teletype regarding Antoine Hage's statement about discussing Senator Robert Kennedy with anyone before his assassination. Hage denied making such statements and stated he never heard from anyone prior to the assassination that Kennedy was going to be assassinated.

On June 12, 1968, Ernest L.B. Smith, Assistant Legal Affairs Secretary of the Governor's Office in Sacramento, California, confidentially advised the Governor's Office had received a telephone call from John Lawrence, an attorney representing a group of Arabs in New York State. Lawrence requested that the Governor's Office intercede with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office to ensure Sirhan's incoming mail was no longer screened.

The FBI received information from various sources, including a letter from Luzeta Cordova, who expressed concerns about a club called the Order of the Red Cross in San Jose, California, and suggested that all members should be jailed and interrogated. She also mentioned an organization called Silent Unity, which helps the world through prayer.
