Summary  
The document compiles information from June 1968 regarding U.S. and international responses to Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination, investigative efforts by federal agencies, and related inquiries into potential suspects and connections. Jordanian officials condemned RFK’s murder on June 6, 1968, with messages sent via cable to his family, while the FBI and CIA monitored diplomatic reactions. Sirhan Sirhan’s military service records from 1954–1957 were noted, alongside allegations of Roy Murray bragging about a contract to kill RFK in Delano, California. British intelligence checked individuals linked to Jordan without finding connections. Inquiries explored Khalaf’s potential ties to Jordan or Palestine and U.S. institutions like St. Louis University. Eddie Sirhan’s arrest history in Detroit and Sirhan’s alleged derogatory remarks about RFK were documented. FBI teletypes detailed investigations into Sirhan’s background, including his education, employment, and interactions with Davor Pevec in Pasadena. Autopsy records confirmed RFK’s death from a gunshot wound to the head, with the weapon traced to Albert Leslie Heriz. Victims of the shooting described injuries but did not identify the assailant. NBC footage of RFK’s speech at the Ambassador Hotel was noted, though no direct evidence of the assassination was captured. A separate administrative record referenced shipping details for a package labeled “KENSALT SAC” destined for Los Angeles, including dates and FBI file references under Executive Order 14176.
