The document contains fragmented transcripts of polygraph interviews and interrogations involving Walter Croque, focusing on his interactions with Sirhan Sirhan, a suspect in Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. The interviews, conducted in July 1968, detail Croque’s recollections of their shared educational experiences at Longfellow Elementary School, Elliott Junior High School, and Pasadena City College (PCC), where they occasionally studied history together. Croque describes Sirhan as politically engaged, discussing topics such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, communism, and Marxist ideology, though no direct link to the assassination is established. A meeting two months prior to the assassination is noted, during which Sirhan expressed frustration with his life choices and discussed leftist movements like the National Liberation Front in Latin America. Croque also mentions Sirhan’s potential association with the Communist Party, though Sirhan never explicitly sought membership. The interviews include polygraph procedures, personal information disclosure (e.g., addresses in Pasadena), and questions about Sirhan’s alleged plans to assassinate RFK. One transcript references a June 4, 1968, event when Croque learned of Sirhan’s involvement in the assassination, which occurred on June 5, 1968. The documents also reference administrative forms (Form 618) and declassification markings (E.O. 14176).
