The documents detail FBI interviews with individuals connected to Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, later identified as the assassin of Robert F. Kennedy. Interviews occurred between June 1967 and July 1968, focusing on Sirhan’s associations, employment history, and personal life. Mrs. Ernestine Garcia described Sirhan as polite, sensitive, and unselfish, noting his disinterest in politics, firearms, and leadership roles. She mentioned his potential as a jockey due to his small stature but highlighted his discouragement after a horse accident that shifted his demeanor toward pessimism. Ivan Garcia corroborated these traits, emphasizing Sirhan’s idealism, generosity, and avoidance of political discussions. Garcia also stated Sirhan had not received money recently and did not possess firearms at the time of his arrest.  

Other accounts include ADEL STIRHAN (Sirhan’s brother) and SIRIAN SIRHAN (likely a relative or associate), with interviews referencing their residences in Pasadena, California, and interactions with individuals like Myleen Kaye, who described their financial dependence and SIRIAN’s alleged horse-related injury. Mrs. Max Hulen provided details about her cousin Ronald Hulen’s contacts with SIRIAN and MYERS, including their 1966 arrest in Flagstaff, Arizona, for vagrancy. Ronnie Hulen recounted a group trip involving Phil Clevenger, who was involved in a car accident in New Orleans, though no political discussions occurred during the journey.  

At Pasadena City College, Sirhan applied for jobs in 1967, interacting with staff like Dr. IRVIN LEWIS and Mrs. JEANNIE HERRICK, who noted his frustration over employment restrictions and eventual destruction of an application card. SIMONE E. SIMANNY (Shell station owner) and PHYLLIS HAZEL YOUNG (former Fez Restaurant waitress) described Sirhan’s presence at Los Angeles venues, with Young noting anti-American sentiment among Arab patrons post-assassination. ALI KALLA (Texaco station operator) reported Sirhan’s interactions at the Shakers Oasis and Fez Restaurant, highlighting his focus on Middle Eastern grievances against Israel but avoidance of Arab group discussions.
