Summary:  
The documents detail refugee visa applications and security reviews for Sirhan Bishara Salamah Ghattas, a Jordanian national born in Jerusalem (Palestine). His application under the 1953 Refugee Relief Act cited persecution due to Jewish occupation and armed expansion. Security checks by U.S. agencies (CIA, FBI) and Jordanian authorities found no criminal record but noted concerns about his vulnerability to persecution in Jordan. The visa was approved for processing but deferred due to quota limitations. Additional records include personal details, travel history, employment background (unemployed with skills in whitewashing, oil-painting, and plastering), and family statements. These documents also reference interviews by Jordanian authorities, birth registration in Jerusalem, and connections to UNRWA and U.S. visa processes. Separate FBI records from 1966-1968 mention arrests of MUNIR BISHARA SIRHAN (also known as Joe) and others for vagrancy in Arizona, with discrepancies noted in travel accounts. Inquiries into RONALD HULEN (a twin brother of another individual) in 1968 revealed no confirmed information about his whereabouts.
