</s>DE 62-4177 WELCH concluded by stating that he feels that the personality change which took place in SIRIAN BISHARA SIRHAN after his accident must have gotten worse in the past year since WELCH has had contact with him, and that he went out of his mind, or that something was preying on his mind." WELGH said that SIRIHAN was particularly friendly with FRANK DONORAMA, one of the bosses or supervisors at Granja Vista Vista Rio. He added that prior to SIRISHAN's accident. His name was also been so impressed with SIRHA'S potential that he offered SIRIAHAN so he was impressed with SirHAN's job at Granja Vista Del Rio. SIRIRIAN declined this offer inasmuch as he preferred to work directly with the horses and become a good rider. 2025 RELEASE UNDER E.O. 14176
