Summary  
The document contains a mix of architectural layouts of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, including room dimensions and references to events related to the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) on June 5, 1968. It includes witness accounts from Elizabeth Evans, Arthur W. Evans, and IRA Goldstein describing their experiences at the hotel during the incident. The text also references a diagram of the shooting scene published in the *Los Angeles Times* (June 6, 1968) and mentions FBI investigative records under Executive Order 14176. Additionally, it includes FBI FD-302 forms dated June 5–8, 1968, detailing medical records and witness statements related to individuals injured during the assassination. Paul Herman Schrade (43) and William Weisel (30) sustained gunshot wounds; Schrade was shot in the head, Weisel in the abdomen. Both were transported from Central Receiving Hospital to Kaiser Foundation Hospital via ambulance. Irwin Stroll (21), a campaign worker, was also injured with a bullet wound to his left leg and later admitted to Midway Hospital. Ambulance drivers Jerrold Bryon Heminigway and Richard Blaire Walker described transporting victims to hospitals. ADEL Sirian, brother of suspect Sirhan Bishara Sirihan, was interviewed by LAPD and FBI agents regarding his brother’s potential involvement. The search of Sirian’s residence in Pasadena uncovered two notebooks and an envelope containing materials later submitted to the FBI Laboratory for analysis. The document further details items seized from Sirhan Sirhan’s residence on June 5, 1968, including a .22 caliber Iver Johnson pistol (serial number 53527) recovered during the assassination of RFK at the Ambassador Hotel. The weapon was traced to Pasadena, California, with its purchase history linked to Leslie Herztz of Alhambra, who sold it to Dana Westlake in 1965.
