MC KOY "stated he would again contact KOGUCHI " ~and attempt to obtain from him a decision with respectto furnishing a copy of the autopsy report, as well asphotographs taken at the time of the autopsy.

On 9/3/68, Deputy Los Angeles County DistrictAttorney DAVID FITTS advised his office has not yetreceived a copy of the autopsy report on KENNEDY and doesnot expect that it will be released by Dr. KOGUCHI untilthe trial corumenees.

Los Angeles will continue to follov/ thismatter and keep the Bureau appropriately advised.

For the information of the Bureau, Governor ROHALDREAGAN of California on 9/3/68 vetoed'a bill passed by theI968 Legislature which had been co-authored by AssemblySpeaker J2SSE K. UN3UH (Dsznocr&t, Inglevrood), which bill wouldhave required p«r2er»s venting to m&?:o u^s of the officialautopsy pictures of Senator H0B3RT P. KENNEDY to obtain acourt order. The "Lcs Angeles Times" of 9A/68 advised thatthe restriction had originally hscn requested by DistrictAttorney EVKL.LB J. YOUIIGEH of Los Angeles County, who fearedthere vtculd be a \,*ide demand for KENNEDY photogr&phs byexplo3.tors and tho raorbidly curious. The article reflecteda statcn&nt by th3 Governor that h& vetoed the bill.becauseit is "so bcdly worded that it would have the unintendedeffect of impeding the- legitiRate \ico of autopsy photographsin McdicRl education and research*" The Governor also advisedthat nedical researchers and forensic pfithologists had com-plainad that the bill would have had a detrimental effect onscientific advancement.

I talked to P H H s l R a*lort'3Jr after I had spoken to you early in theafternoon this pelt June 12th. During the conversation I mentioned I had been atthe Ambsssgdor Hotel from about 3:20 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. on June 4, 1968* Up tothat timeJII^Biid not know I had been at the Hotel an the fourth and so I spokeabout some of the things I had seen there that day* the individual who I de-scribed as the wambling-g3ited'Mau|^because of the way In which ha waited, wasof particular interest t ^ f l H ^ s H H ^ h 0 * 1* •!•* °f t&e topic of our conversa-tion, then told me for the~Tlrst time that he had submitted a Report to the LosAn gales police Department which he believed could have seas relevance to the trage-dy that took place at the Hotel on June 5th. and that he had referred to a svarthy•an whose manner of walking could be said to be a "waddle", for the nan "waddled"when he waited. After a l i t t l e mare discussion concerning this individual, Itsaemed quite possible the "ambling-gaited" man and the man who "waddled11 could bethe same person* As a result of this conversation, I decided to writ* down asmuch as I could recall about what I had e e e a j t the Hotel on the fourth and to sub-mit the information to the same Officer " h o f l BDepartment at 150 North Los Angeles Street, Los

Since the day I spoke to you and referred to the rude young woman with thedeformed nose, I have tried to determine a more accurate approximation of her pro-bable height and have arrived at figures of from five feet to five feet three inchesta l l instead of the five feet five Inches I had mentioned in our telephone conver-sation. I made this calculation by recalling as closely as possible the angle atwhich I looked down at the young woman when she very nearly waited into oe and thenmeasured the result from a point I noted on the wall* It Isn't very scientific andcertainly does not guarantee absolute accuracy, but i t Is better then a guess and i sas eiose as I can coos to her probable height considering the sketchy informationavailable*

Teener Poses Big QuestionDear Editor

Never hive T prayed, wishedand hoped 90 much as I didwhen I found out Senator Ken-nedy had ben shot. For thefret time J can < dually saythat I loved «nd admiredsomeone whom I did not knowpersonally. I know I speak lora lot of people when I say hewas and will be (ss Msbrother, John F. Kennedy)loved and remembered.

• I have a question that Idon't think anyone but CodHimself can answer. Why doour men and boys go toanother country to fight forfreedom and to end thi< killingonce and for all when we intheir own country need theirfcclp more? They are fightingfor their country and lovedouts, but yei there is * muchhate and discord right here inlittir own country. w*hy?

These "hippies" and "flowerchildren" talk about peace andk»ve. yet they don't doanything to keep peace andlove- They picket, they haveImMns, but they are notshowing that they want peacebecause they don't know themeaning of the word "peace."If they did, they would join themilitary service and fight forpeace.

Resents EditorialDear Editor

As an American of Arabiandescent, 1 am shocked at theattack and innuendo* in you*editorial directed »t my na-tional origin. This is a cruelmixma directed against awftote minority 01* good Ameri-can citizens, Americans ofArabian origin. ImmigrantsIndeed » thi* jr*at country,who«e proud chitfrw havefought and gives the*r lives is

Korea, Vietnam and other for-tign «oil> for the love at thiscountry, a country that theyhave adopted as their own.Yet because the accused as-sassin of tht late SenatorRobert K e n n e d y is ofArabian origin, he is labeledas a red arab according »your editorial. He is the typeof immigrant and I quote youreditorial "that has b e e tschooled in bate and violent*before he set foot on Americanshores." I can very con-fidently fay that had this ac-cused man been of • differentorigin or religion this clichewould not have been used byyou.

There is no question in is*tnind of any Rood and rationalAmerican chat there is abreakdown of la* and order, aconfusion in the minds ofAmerican youth of t h I •generation, aod that thiJpresent society Is bent onsickness, crime and prejudice.Remember Medgar Even,civil rights workers, ourrevered past president, thelate John F. K e n n e d y .Malcolm X and Dr. MartinLuther King? They were allvictims of our sick society.The accused assassin Is aproduct of this society. Let ustry to correct the wrong in-stead of trying to turn this na-kmtl tragedy that befell ournation and plagued II for thelast few years, into a racistpropaganda directed against aminority who make up an in-tegral pan of this great coun-try.

Your editorial. "PoliticalLife Periled." was f u s twonderful. You said so aaajr

good flvnp and said Diem tosuch a good way. Thank youfor saying them.

Can you write more, fa*couraging us to grow,backbones, rooted in firmspiritual convictions — aowe'll b* willing to stand upand be counted, even if ithurts us? I refer to "puttingout the sparks" which itseems to me we must do bydisagreeing elearh/ a n ddistinctly when people sayanything that smacks of vio-lent thoughts or emotions,hate, tic. If we keep quiet,such people gain strength fromour silence.

In memory of Robert Ken-nedy, let us dedicate our livesto helping others. After all, weare all io this world together,we are all brothers.

Dear Agent]

In order to expedite matters and eliminate some duplication here In BOfar as m y l e t t e r j ^ ^ ^ ^ Is conoerned, I have reproduced a copy of the letter Iwrote to ^ ^ ^ • H f l | ^ V f t h B ^° s Angeles Police Department on August 16, 1968,lncluding^ropieso^Tneletter's enclosures which you do not have, and as send-ing Jthe materiel to ycu for your f i l e s under cover of this letter*

The enclosed copy of the article appearing In the July 1, 1966 Issue of theLos Angeles H&reld-Ex«miner, "A Question Of Cash", about the Southern CaliforniaEvangelist (Minister), the suspect In the Senator fiobert F. Kennedy assassinationcase and another young man raised some questions In ay Bind in regard to the oldautomobile, and Its occupants, X had saen Ma^^^^ownBMuoors Avenue lest Junefourth; and I stated them in the letter t o w H ^ m H | B ^ I t also would be in-teresting to find out If the man, described by the Kinjeteras "an older man wholooked like the same nationality", walked with as "ambling gait" or "waddled"when he walked*

When I epoke t o ^ B | ^ ^ ^ t h r e e weeks ago, I told him about an oddletter (oessagd) that case in the mall recently. I had wanted to read i t to hi*.over the telephone and get his opinion then, but he was busy at the time and haasted as to send a copy to him along with the othera lengthy description of the puzzling item in my letterwould be repetitious to go through that part of the

jfer to the letter for this Information too* I rend the message tthought you might be interested in i ts contents* I also asked

ihls opinion about the message, and he seemed to thinkJ had gottenscrewball mailing

Whatever tb*case though, I e e r t a i n l y ^ d ^ p j ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ j m p ( . n this instance, for It Is areputable organization* ^ m ^ ^ ^ ^ s e e m e d to think that a foliar-up letter,telling how avoid "DOCKl" along wittHt pitch for money, might arrive In the n i lbefore too long* To date this has not happened* Etowever be did not rule outthe possibility that It oould have come from a Red eouros, And considering thegeneral tone of the ires sage, I would not overlook that possibility either* Andfinally, when I saw that 1983 date on the fifth and sixth lines from the top ofthe page, I thought "shades of George Orwell" beo&use It reminded me of Ms novel"Nineteen Eighty Four"* Perhaps there Is an implication here somewhere* Upon
