</s>50/156-1185 SEARCHED. SERIALIZED. INDEXED. PXAD. JUL 3 1966 FBI - LOS ANGELES M Benjamin 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176

Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into potential connections between Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination and various individuals or groups during July 1968. A July 3, 1968, AIRTel message outlines efforts to locate the law firm Pulton, Gwittzman and Wise in New York City, which proved unsuccessful. Sidney Gwitzman, a New York attorney, stated he had no knowledge of Milton Gryzman but mentioned a distant cousin named Million Gwitzmain in Washington, D.C. The message also references attempts to contact Constance Shinellon and Lisa Gryzzman at Washington Field, Los Angeles.  

A June 26, 1968, communication from Legat in Tokyo discusses Bernard Bouton, a British businessman in Taipei who claimed to have served as an MI-6 officer during World War II. Bouton alleged that Jehovah’s Witnesses were fanatics seeking global chaos to hasten the second coming of Christ and suggested Sirhan Sirhan, RFK’s assassin, might be linked to this group. However, the FBI concluded there was insufficient evidence to confirm such a connection. The documents also reference an FBI directive transmitting telecommunication records to SAC Los Angeles and San Diego for review, with all materials marked for release under Executive Order 14176.
