Summary  
The documents discuss the 1968 assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, focusing on forensic challenges related to bullet evidence, potential involvement of multiple firearms, and debates over oxidation affecting ballistic analysis. References include a 1975 inquiry into the Warren Commission's investigation, which questioned whether Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in JFK’s assassination. A 1986 state firearms examiner, Barack V. Garland, emphasized that aging bullets could hinder identification, though he noted oxidation might obscure evidence. The text also mentions CIA-recorded telephone conversations involving Oswald and Soviet/Cuban embassies, with claims of a threat letter delivered to the FBI in Dallas. A 1975 probe by the Justice Department explored whether the FBI or other agencies destroyed Oswald’s letters, linking it to potential threats against JFK.
