The document contains FBI FD-302 forms detailing investigations into Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 California primary campaign and subsequent events. On June 3, 1968, Lawrence David Strick reported seeing a young man at Kennedy’s campaign headquarters resembling someone arrested for shooting Kennedy. The individual was linked to Khaibar Khan, a Middle Eastern volunteer with a plaster cast on his arm, who was observed near the headquarters on June 3, 1968. Strick noted missing itinerary sheets for Kennedy’s June 2, 1968, schedule and suspected Khan may have taken them. Khan was described as associated with recruiting volunteers and providing campaign materials. June Isackson, campaign headquarters manager, confirmed Khan (“Goody”) recruited Middle Eastern volunteers and provided them with materials, noting inconsistencies in his background claims. Volunteers were linked to a Cairo-type vehicle with Kennedy stickers. Employment records from F.C. Hennessey of the Peakload Company listed individuals hired for telephone solicitation work at the campaign between May 30, 1963, and June 3, 1968.
