The document contains fragmented investigative records from 1968 related to Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination and associated inquiries. It includes FBI and LAPD reports on individuals linked to the Ambassador Hotel incident, including Donald Clark, a man allegedly connected to pharmacies in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles. Clark’s employment history, alleged associations with Black Power groups, and discrepancies in his residency are noted. The text references Sirhan Bishara Sirhan (spelled variably as "SIRIHAN," "SIRIHAM," etc.), including a forged check incident tied to Altfillisch Construction Company in 1966. Investigations into potential witnesses, such as Clifford Flittle’s remarks about the Kennedy family during a flight and Peter Edelman’s absence from events, are detailed. The documents highlight efforts to verify identities, employment records, and alibis for individuals connected to the assassination or related activities.  

The document also includes fragmented reports on Sirhan Bishara Sirhan’s connection to a letter sent from Utrecht, Netherlands, dated June 21, 1968, with a postmark indicating it was posted there. The sender, identified as "ESBSES," could not be verified through Dutch records, and the police in Utrecht concluded it was likely a hoax. Alvin Wolfgang, an individual living in Amsterdam, is referenced in inquiries into his possible connection to RFK’s assassination due to prior correspondence with figures involved in sensational cases, including Mrs. J. Tippitt (widow of a slain American police officer) and Alfred Krupp. Wolfgang’s daughter, born August 6, 1959, was mentioned in the letter. The Amsterdam Police investigated but found no conclusive evidence linking Wolfgang to RFK’s assassination. A polygraph examination of Walter Sherrill Crowe, who met Sirhan at Bob’s Restaurant in Pasadena on May 2, 1968, indicated possible deception regarding their conversation. Crowe claimed Sirhan discussed the Arab-Israeli conflict and political activism but could not confirm if Sirhan mentioned plans to assassinate RFK. The FBI interviewed Francis De Buda, a chemist in Los Angeles, who recalled Donald Clark, an employee who left his job after Dr. Martin Luther King’s assassination and later asked about Sirhan.  

Additional records include FBI Form FD-302 entries from 1958 and 1968 involving individuals associated with the Fiore D'Italia Restaurant in Sherman Oaks, California. Tony Munno, a waiter at the restaurant, reported discussing a man named JOB (with an Italian last name) who allegedly sought assistance for a friend of the chef, Jimmy, living on La Mada Street in Encino. JOB was identified as working at Western Distributing Company in Los Angeles and had a phone number 786-7975. Munno noted that the chef’s friend later became the second chef at Fiore D'Italia. The documents also mention Skendrik Kacani, the chef at the restaurant, who stated his friend Hyesen Garrolli (number two chef) had no involvement in discussions about aiding CARROLLI (possibly a jockey) or any assassination plot against Senator Robert F. Kennedy. Both Kacani and Garrolli claimed they had never heard of Sirhan Sirhan prior to his arrest for RFK’s murder. An FBI Laboratory examination of a letter from Sharif B. Sirhan to Richard Nixon, dated October 22, 1968, identified it as QC35. The lab found the signature on QC35 too indistinct to compare with handwriting samples from Saidallah Sirian and Sharif Sirhan.  

The text also appears to be an index page from a government document file labeled "LA 56-156 JOS/rem" under a classification system that includes names, numbers, and possibly case identifiers. It contains a list of names with associated numerical entries, some of which may correspond to individuals or entities linked to the RFK assassination investigation. Names include individuals such as "STUDENT FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY (SDS)" and others with unclear affiliations. The document references locations like "17th" and "175," though their relevance is unspecified. Numbers range from 17 to 2025, potentially indicating dates, case numbers, or other identifiers. The text ends with a note about release under Executive Order 14176, suggesting it was declassified for public access.
