The documents detail FBI investigations into the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK), focusing on forensic analysis of handwriting and documents linked to Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a suspect in the 1968 shooting. Key elements include:  
- Requests for certified copies of California driver’s licenses (e.g., license #M238877/ for Sirhan Sirhan) to compare signatures with writings from the San Gabriel Valley Gun Club’s shooting roster.  
- FBI laboratory examinations of documents, including a postcard postmarked July 1, 1968, addressed to the FBI in Albuquerque, New Mexico, containing handwritten notations referencing RFK’s assassination and a list of names (including movie actors).  
- Analysis of handwriting on multiple documents (Q24, Q28, Q29) to determine if they were authored by Sirhan Sirhan or others. The lab concluded that the handwriting on Q29 matched that on previously submitted documents linked to Sirhan.  
- References to sealed fingerprint records from the California Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation due to court orders.  
- A letter titled “TRUE COPY” from an unidentified group calling themselves “The Gang in Vietnam,” threatening retaliation if Sirhan was released from trial, with plans to act during his trial starting November 1, 1968.
