The documents detail FBI communications from June 1968 regarding investigations into threats against Senator Robert F. Kennedy following his assassination on June 5, 1968. Key elements include:  
- **Edmund Scullion** (New Jersey) identified Richard Garcia as a former Army buddy who attended transportation school at Fort Eustis, Virginia, in 1965. Scullion last corresponded with Garcia in 1977 and provided a photo of Garcia in uniform.  
- **Ronald Huntley** (Portland, Oregon) reported observing two men near Senator Kennedy during his speech at the Benson Hotel. One man, described as heavyset and wearing a business suit, was pushed against a wall by Huntley. The second individual, possibly of Polynesian descent, wore a tweed sport coat.  
- **David Brown** (Louisville, Kentucky) mentioned an individual named "Sirian Sirhan" with a construction helmet, later linked to Boeing Aircraft in Seattle. Fingerprint comparisons confirmed this was not the same person as the suspect in custody.  
- **Thomas Charles Shoemaker** (Lafayette, Indiana) was identified as an ardent Kennedy supporter potentially capable of violence. He had flown to Los Angeles on June 5 and was unaccounted for.  
- **Wayne Lee Sparks** (Chicago) was noted as a member of the National States Rights Party with prior threats against Kennedy.  
- A Miami source referenced "Tony Areces" (Cuban refugee) potentially linked to Kennedy, though identification was uncertain.  

The documents also include FBI communications from June 5-7, 1968, regarding investigations into RFK’s assassination and related inquiries:  
- A Las Vegas informant reported that Sirhan Sirhan (a suspect in RFK’s assassination) may have a relative in Detroit, Michigan, described as an electronics technician working at a family furniture store. The informant noted the Detroit resident had claimed to visit relatives in California.  
- In Honolulu, Dr. Tsubaki, a Christian teacher, offered assistance to Senator Kennedy and was contacted by Mr. Everit Cusakaden for potential outreach to Kennedy’s family.  
- A Sacramento University professor reported that an individual resembling Sirhan Sirhan (described as Middle Eastern, early 20s) was removed from a campus event due to disruptive behavior. The individual was later identified in a newspaper photo but required further verification.  
- In Portland, Ronald R. Huntley described a man matching Sirhan Sirhan’s physical description (5'5"–5'7", 150 lbs) seen on May 28, 1968. Discrepancies were noted between Huntley’s account and Sirhan Sirhan’s known height/weight.  
- A Delano, California, police officer reported that Roy Murray allegedly bragged about funding a contract to kill Senator Kennedy if he received the Democratic nomination. Murray was described as a gambler with ties to Las Vegas but had no arrest record.  
- In New York, Mrs. Dorotha Barton claimed her ex-husband, Boyd Barton, was part of a cult connected to plans to assassinate Martin Luther King Jr. and blow up the United Nations. The cult’s leader, Dr. Armstrong, was linked to Ambassador College in Pasadena. Barton also mentioned sightings of firearms and explosives at the cult’s location.  
- Delta Airlines ticket records revealed passengers on a flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles, including unaccompanied women who made remarks about “bullets flying” around Kennedy.  

The documents further include coded telegrams and FBI reports from June 1968 related to RFK’s assassination:  
- A press conference planned for June 7, 1968, in New York City to address legal actions against Mayor Samuel Yorty of Los Angeles and allegations linking RFK's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, to the Democratic Campaign Committee (DCA). The document notes that Sirhan was allegedly connected to DCA due to his car being observed near its headquarters.  
- Dorothy Healy, a Communist Party leader in Los Angeles, claimed the assassination was not linked to the party and accused authorities of spreading false information about DCA ties.  
- FBI agents in Los Angeles and Atlanta investigated potential suspects, including an unidentified woman described as waiting for a flight to Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, with remarks about "bullets flying" during RFK’s visit. The woman was later identified as Leah Gray, wife of H.E. Gray, who reported her presence on the Delta Flight 85.  
- Thomas D. Good, a high school friend of Sirhan Sirhan, was examined for potential political affiliations and motives. Good’s background included involvement with anti-war groups like the Students for Democratic Society (SDS) and participation in protests against Dow Chemical.  
- FBI inquiries also explored Sirhan’s family ties, including visa records for his brothers Shareep and Sidallah Sirhan, issued by the U.S. Embassy in Amman, Jordan, under Public Law 81-316.  
- Additional reports mention Wayne Lee Sparks, a former employee of Lion Match Corporation, whose military induction status was being verified. George W. Rice of Chillicothe, Ohio, provided details about Robert Driggs, who claimed to have attended a W.E.B. Du Bois Club meeting in Venice, California, and described Sirhan as a "card-carrying communist."
