Summary  
The documents detail workers’ compensation claims and associated legal proceedings for Sirhan B. Sirhan, an individual who sustained injuries on September 24–25, 1966, while employed at Granja Vista Del Rio (Affillisch Construction Company) in Corona, California. The case involved multiple medical evaluations by physicians including Dr. Albert Tashma, Dr. Martin Albori, Dr. Richard A. Nelson, and Dr. Paul N. Nelson, who assessed Sirhan’s condition following a horseback riding accident. Medical reports from Good Samaritan Hospital and other facilities indicated no abnormalities in X-rays of the skull or lumbar spine, with conclusions that Sirhan’s symptoms were subjective rather than organic. Legal proceedings included hearings before the Workmen’s Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB), disputes over permanent disability claims, and correspondence between attorneys representing Sirhan (Anne Toomer, Palmer & Toomer) and defendants (Argonaut Insurance Company, Affillisch Construction Company). The case was resolved via a compromise and release agreement dated November 13, 1966. Additional records include FBI interview notes from June 12, 1968, involving Dr. John D. Rutledge’s examination of Sirihan Bishara Sirian (possibly a variant spelling or unrelated individual) for an ophthalmological referral.
