Summary  
The documents detail FBI investigations into Robert F. Kennedy’s 1968 assassination, including witness accounts, handwriting analysis, and financial records. Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Wilson described an unidentified male (mid-20s, dark-haired, olive-complexioned) and female (25–30 years old, slender, long black hair) at the San Francisco Civic Center on June 1, 1968. Mrs. Wilson linked the male to SIRIAN BISHARA (possibly a misspelling), though she clarified this was not based on media images. Ronald Jones, an RFK campaign worker in Vallejo, California, noted an unidentified female near him at the event. Frank C. Ailes of Delano, California, reported Murray’s alleged discussion of a $1 million contract to assassinate RFK if he won the California Democratic nomination, with friends in Las Vegas arranging it.  

Mrs. Leila Sayegh of Sierra Madre mentioned her husband’s association with Middle Eastern Arab organizations and referenced Adel Sirhan as possibly connected to the assassination. Mr. Spear S. Sayeech noted many Arabs believed Zionists influenced Sirhan to kill Kennedy. Joseph Sheehan, a UCLA professor, identified a man resembling Sirhan Siriran from a photo at the Los Angeles Sports Arena on May 24, 1968. James Shortridge described a man resembling Sirhan frequenting his gas station in Inglewood. FBI records include handwriting analysis of documents linked to Stirhan Salim Sirhan, including school records and financial checks, with no matches found between samples attributed to SIRIAN BISHARA SIRIAN and questioned writings. A cashier’s check from Crocker-Citizens National Bank tied to an insurance settlement involving Sirhan was examined.
