Summary  
The document set includes records related to Sirhan Sirhan’s legal proceedings for the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and administrative visa application forms for individuals with Palestinian heritage. Sirhan pleaded guilty to murder in Los Angeles County Superior Court on June 7, 1968, with attorney Russell E. Parsons representing him. A court order restricted publicity to ensure a fair trial, and his plea hearing was delayed until July 7, 1968. The FBI memorandum dated June 5, 1966, references James Riddle Hoffa’s alleged statements in 1967 at Lewisburg Penitentiary about having a contract on Kennedy’s life, linking him to Anthony Provenzano and Edward Grady Partin. Additional sections include visa application forms for Sharif Bishara Salambh Ghattas Sirhan and Saidallah Bishara Salameh Ghattas Sirhan, detailing their Palestinian origins, displacement due to "Armed Jewish Occupation," and U.N.R.W.A. registration. These records are unrelated to RFK but were included in the document set.
