The document contains fragmented records of Communist Party USA (CPUSA) activities related to youth organizations, including the establishment of the Du Bois Clubs of America (DCA) in 1964. It references meetings in Chicago (October 1963) and San Francisco (June–July 1964) aimed at creating a Marxist-oriented youth group. The DCA’s headquarters were noted as 34 West 17th Street, New York, in 1967. A separate section details the W.E.B. Du Bois Club of West Los Angeles, organized by Ruth Greenbaum and Marvin Treiger in 1964, with ties to the Southern California District Communist Party (SDCP). The club focused on Marxist education and protests against racial discrimination. FBI records from 1969 reference Sirhan Bishara, a suspect in RFK’s assassination, including interviews with individuals who claimed to have met him in Los Angeles around May–June 1968. These accounts mention gatherings at Bob’s Restaurant, the "Hi Life" bar, and potential connections to Black Panther meetings. The FBI concluded no CPUSA conspiracy was found in RFK’s assassination, though some sources noted Sirhan’s possible ties to radical groups. A separate record mentions Boyd Moran/Jordan, an individual with ties to Phoenix and Hawaii, whose background includes arrests and military service. The text also references the FBI’s handling of documents under E.O. 14176, including a tape recording of RFK’s assassination and unresolved questions about its release. Another document details correspondence between the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the FBI regarding photographs of bullet holes from the 1968 assassination. The letters request clarification on whether labeled "bullet holes" in photos B-1, B-2, E-3, and E-4 were confirmed by ballistic analysis. Concerns are raised that captions implying definitive identification could suggest multiple shooters, as Sirhan’s weapon may not have fired enough rounds to account for all visible damage. The FBI clarified no ballistic analysis was conducted and the photos were taken two days after the assassination.
