Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into claims related to Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination and associated individuals from June 1968. Sirhan Sirhan allegedly claimed to work for the FBI and made statements about RFK’s assassination, though these were later retracted or disputed. Mrs. Djeredjian reported informing others of RFK’s assassination via a Phoenix teletype, while Mrs. Rodak confirmed Sirhan made prior statements referenced in the teletype. Medical records from Blaine’s Pharmacy indicate Sirhan received treatment for sunburn on June 3, 1968. Larry Wayne Rulen’s brother Ronald Emon Hulen was allegedly connected to Clevenger and drug use, though no direct link to RFK is established. In Tel Aviv, tour guide Jacobs Henagan reportedly announced RFK’s assassination to a Brownell Tours group on May 26, 1968, but the claim was later retracted. Ronald Lee Augustinovich, linked to CIA activities, denied involvement in an alleged assassination plot against RFK. Additional reports include FBI telegrams documenting interviews with Mrs. Djeredjian, Mrs. Rodak, and Larry Wayne Rulen regarding claims about RFK’s assassination. A telegram addressed to "FAIRT" (likely a misspelling or code) was delivered to a Catholic church in New York, referencing political tensions ("MIDEAST REACTION") and an individual named "SIRHAN." John Lawrence, described as anti-Jewish and pro-Arab, is associated with the sender of this telegram. George Robert Lettsinger, arrested on an outstanding warrant from Seattle, expressed anti-Black sentiments and claimed he wished RFK, Martin Luther King Jr., and others had been assassinated. His fingerprints were compared to a note found in San Diego, which he denied writing. The FBI noted his mental history and potential ties to extremist activities. Hassan Cheair, a Lebanese immigrant in Toledo, Ohio, was interviewed about Roland Kaiser’s identification of Sirhan Bishara as resembling an individual associated with the Ringling Brothers Circus concessions. The FBI sought verification if any concessions workers matched Sirhan’s description. Telephone calls in San Francisco referenced a woman in Delano, California, described as an EOC worker or government contractor with initials "J.J.L." linked to a potential conspiracy. Interviews were conducted with photographers and journalists covering Kennedy’s exit route from the platform, including Bill Eppridge and CBS crew members connected to Washington, DC. Ovidio Pereira, an individual in Miami allegedly linked to Kennedy’s assassination, and Crispin Curiel, a Mexican national in Juarez, Mexico, who claimed involvement in planning the assassination under drug influence, were also investigated.
