Summary  
The documents consist of FBI FD-302 forms and investigative records from 1966–1968 detailing interviews and inquiries into individuals associated with the RFK assassination case. MUNIR BISHARA SIRHAN was arrested in Flagstaff, Arizona, on May 26, 1966, for vagrancy alongside DAVID MYERS and RONNIE EDMAN HOULEN. SIRHAN claimed no prior acquaintance with Myers or others arrested with him. PHILIP LEE CLEVENGER was cited for vehicle registration issues in Flagstaff, Arizona, and reported picking up hitchhikers (including SIRHAN and Myers) in Texas before arriving in New Orleans, Louisiana. CLEVENGER stated he did not know the identities of the hitchhikers but later claimed they were arrested in Flagstaff. RONALD HULEN, a twin brother of BONNIE SUE MUNN, was sought by authorities in 1968; his whereabouts remained unknown. The FBI interviewed family members and associates of HULEN, CLEVENGER, and SIRHAN but found no conclusive links to the RFK assassination. Some sections of the documents are redacted or deleted (pages 501–509).  

The documents also include FBI FD-302 forms from 1968 detailing interviews with individuals connected to ADEL STIRIAN and his family, including their interactions around the time of Senator Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination on June 5, 1968. Interviews describe social relationships, political views, and events involving the STIRIAN family, particularly SIRIAN STIRIAN, who was suspected in the assassination. ADEL STIRIAN worked at the Pez Nightclub and his brother SIRIAN was alleged to have been involved in the shooting. Beverly Corey reported meeting SIRIAN’s family in Pasadena after the assassination, including interactions with police and SHARIF STIRIAN. Political tensions involving Arab communities, anti-Israel sentiment, and discussions about Middle Eastern issues were noted. Arrests of individuals (e.g., ANTOINETTE) for attempted murder following the shooting occurred but charges were later dropped. ADEL’s interactions with other Arabs at bars like the Fez Restaurant and his alleged frustration with Senator Kennedy’s policies are mentioned.  

Additional records from 1967–1968 detail FBI inquiries into SIRHAN SIRIHAN (later identified as Adel Sirhan) during his interactions with Pasadena City College staff. Dr. Irvin G. Lewis, Administrative Dean at the college, noted SIRIHAN’s attempts to apply for a retail management trainee position in July 1967. Mrs. Jeanne S. Herrick, an employment interviewer, recorded that SIRIHAN filled out an incomplete application card and later demanded its return after being denied access to job details at Safeway Stores, tearing the card into pieces before leaving. Mr. Francis M. McGreery, a supervisor, stated SIRIHAN was referred to Dr. Lewis for clarification on his immigration status (Permanent Resident Visa) and job requirements. Other records mention SIRIHAN’s alleged nationalistic background, with some individuals noting his Middle Eastern heritage and interest in the region. No direct connection to RFK is made in these documents, though they are part of broader FBI investigations into potential threats.
