Summary  
The document contains FBI records from July 1968 detailing investigations into individuals linked to potential threats against Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) and related events. Aziz Tenfic Aziz Michael, a welder from Egypt who entered the U.S. via the United States Catholic Conference in December 1967, was employed at Hardman Aerospace Company as of May 20, 1968. Edmond El Dabe, a Christian fleeing persecution in Egypt, arrived in the U.S. in February 1967 and claimed to have known Michael in Los Angeles. Both were interviewed by FBI agents with no evidence linking them to RFK’s assassination. Pelicia Messuri, a witness at the Ambassador Hotel during the shooting, described an unknown man present at the scene. The FBI reviewed records from the Los Angeles Police Department, Sheriff’s Office, and Retail Merchants Credit Association but found no relevant information. Administrative forms, case notes, and communications between FBI offices in New York and Los Angeles are included.  

The documents also reference Gerald Robert Amster’s interactions with an individual identified as SIRIAN B. SIRIAN during a party in Los Angeles on May 25, 1968. Amster provided a card with the name “STIRAN B. SIRIAN” and noted a time notation. He claimed not to have attended the event but kept the card for potential use. Mrs. Mary Whalen described an unknown male at the Ambassador Hotel during RFK’s speech on June 5, 1968, carrying a small leather-covered object resembling a translator or transmitter. She linked the individual to NBC producer Anthony Messuri. Kristi Witker, an associate editor for American Heritage Publishing, reported observations of RFK’s movements and security protocols at the Ambassador Hotel on June 4, 1968.  

Clifford Flitty, linked to Union Carbide Corporation, was investigated for alleged discussions about RFK’s assassination during a flight from Sydney, Australia, aboard Qantas 530 in June 1968. Mrs. Naomi Gross reported Flitty allegedly discussed plans involving sending a telegram to Ted Kennedy. FBI agents conducted surveillance and interviewed witnesses, including Alister Cooke, an English journalist who witnessed the RFK assassination at the Ambassador Hotel. The documents also mention security lapses at the hotel during the event.
