CIA - Same Address
Dear Mr. Walters :
Greg Roberts
27 August 1975

Also, in the RFK assassination, two LAPD officers who investigated
the assassination were CIA training agents: one was named LAID Lt.
Manuel Pena, and another named LAPD Lt. Enrique Hernandez, a polygraph

And Sirhan Sirhan's passport applications are classified.
Do they show he had a CIA connection?
.Your speech assumes that, the CIA represents'the United States,
and that the KGB soley represents the USSR. Thus, those attacking the
CIA in the U.S. are, in your opinion, pro-communists or communist
dupes.
But what about the thesis which states that the chiefs of
groups like the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) are really
running both the CIA i.and the I
