Summary  
The document contains multiple FBI Laboratory reports and correspondence from June 1968 detailing forensic investigations into the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK). Key elements include handwriting analysis comparing specimens attributed to Sirhan Bisharan Sirhan (later identified as Sirhan Sirhan) with materials such as a California Horse Racing Board license application, Alien Address Reports, and library records. Shell casings recovered from the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club (Duarte, California) were analyzed for potential links to the assassination weapon. Forensic comparisons also involved employment applications, Czech-language letters discussing family health and political events, and typewritten documents linked to NAACP Watts Section addresses in Los Angeles. The FBI sought to authenticate documents for evidentiary purposes, including Rosicrucian Order materials and campaign-related items. Handwriting analysis of specimens K4-K9 and Q1-Q20 yielded inconclusive results, with some samples retained for further examination.
