John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and related investigations:

* Threat reports from Somalia in 1973 mentioned a potential kidnapping plot targeting an American diplomat.

* A contact was made with Donald Freed, who offered a former Los Angeles Police Department officer a job as a technical advisor for a movie about the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy.
* The theme of the movie script sought to point out that the actual assassination of Kennedy was perpetrated by Thane Cesar, a uniform private guard on duty at the Ambassador Hotel on the night Kennedy was shot.
* Freed claimed Cesar was a former Los Angeles Police Department officer who was fired from the Department because he furnished information to the Ku Klux Klan and the Minutemen.
* The theory expressed in this movie script has previously been brought forth by Mr. John Christian and before that was advanced by Los Angeles attorney Barbara Warner Blehr.
* Michael McConan received a copy of a manuscript of a book entitled "The Killing of Robert F. Kennedy" from Garth M. Young, which appears to advance the theory concerning the killing of the late Senator KENNEDY as espoused by Freed in his screenplay.
