The document contains records related to the 1968 assassination attempt on Senator Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, and associated investigative materials. A U.S. FBI urgent message dated June 5, 1968, reports an attempted assassination of RFK by an unidentified assailant now in custody. The FBI provided laboratory support to local authorities during the investigation. Fingerprint cards for Sirhan Bishara, a Jordanian national born on March 12, 1944, are included, noting his physical description (5'4", 118 lbs, black hair, brown eyes). A dealer’s record details the sale of a 22LR revolver to Albert Leslie Hertz on August 10, 1965. California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) records reference driver’s license information for Sirhan Bishara. Miscellaneous content includes a form titled "THE GRAPES: COMMUNIST WRATH IN DELANO" by Gary Allen, unrelated to the RFK investigation.
