Summary:  
The document details interactions between Sirhan Bishara (also referred to as Sirhan Sheikh or Manir) and George Erhard regarding the sale of a firearm, which is linked to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Sirhan, an undocumented immigrant, sought to acquire a gun from George, a coworker at P. C. Nash Department Store in Pasadena, California. The transaction occurred on February 15, 1968, with George initially refusing to sell the weapon but later agreeing for $27.50 or $30. Sirhan’s brother, Munir, was involved in discussions about the sale and warned Sirhan of legal risks due to his immigration status. The gun, described as an Iver-Johnson 22-caliber firearm, was shown to Munir at Nash’s parking lot and later handed to Sirhan. Discrepancies in accounts include conflicting dates for the transaction, price negotiations, and Sirhan’s stated intent to use the gun at a rifle range. Polygraph interviews conducted by the FBI, Secret Service, and Los Angeles Police Department explored these interactions, with inconsistencies noted in Munir’s statements about the gun’s origin and Sirhan’s actions. The documents also reference prior disputes between Sirhan and George over a car and tea-related incidents, as well as George’s alleged involvement in store thefts and drug use, though Munir clarified George was not directly involved in these activities.
