Summary  
The documents detail FBI and Secret Service investigations into individuals associated with Robert F. Kennedy’s (RFK) assassination and related activities during June 1968. A Secret Service memo dated June 10, 1968, notes that Ronald Haskell, a Loyola University student, reported derogatory remarks by instructor John Porter about RFK during an Accounting class. Porter, described as politically conservative, allegedly made prior critical comments about RFK’s potential presidential nomination. The Secret Service indicated they might investigate Haskell and Porter but noted the extent of their inquiry was unclear. Another memo references Wayne Lee Sparks’ movements, with his wife relocating to Bridgeview, Illinois, and attempts to track him via Delta Airlines. A separate FBI report mentions a photo of Sirhan Bishara Sirhan being shared for identification purposes in connection with RFK’s assassination. Additional documents outline the Shah of Iran’s U.S. visit schedule (June 10–15, 1968), including meetings with officials and travel logistics, as well as interviews with individuals linked to anti-Castro groups in Los Angeles, such as Frank Martinez and Carlos Hurtado, who described confrontations involving a dark-complexioned man accused of CIA ties.
