Summary  
The documents detail FBI laboratory examinations conducted in 1968 related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK). Key elements include handwriting analysis of RFK campaign materials, financial records, and correspondence, comparing specimens such as program cards, library cards, checks, and campaign literature to Sirhan Bishara Sirhan’s handwriting. Analysis concluded limited comparability between certain writings and Sirhan’s known samples. A cashiers check dated January 12, 1968, payable to "STRIHAN SIRHAN" with an amount noted as $41.700.00 (possibly a typographical error) was examined. Anonymous threats against RFK, including a letter containing handwritten notes like "Somebody shoot this Catholic bastard," were linked to campaign literature forwarded to Earl Warren, U.S. Supreme Court Justice. The FBI also analyzed specimens from the Burroughs Corporation employment application dated November 7, 1967, bearing the name "SIRIAN B. STRIAN," and a Rosicrucian Order sign-in sheet with the signature "Stirhan Sirhan." A San Gabriel Valley Gun Club shooting roster (June 1–4, 1968) containing "Sirhan Sirhan" was reviewed. Handwriting comparisons were inconclusive due to limited or indistinct writing on some specimens. The FBI Laboratory processed latent fingerprints from items received at Mrs. Mary Sirian’s residence, including a handwritten letter dated June 10, 1960, and a newspaper photograph. Indented writing on the letter pages indicated overlapping handwriting. A six-cent U.S. postage stamp from a sheet was found on an envelope postmarked June 14, 1960. Laboratory reports noted no matches between specimens and known writings from the KENSALT case (Buffie 62-587). The FBI collaborated with the Secret Service and Pasadena Police Department in analyzing these materials.
