FOREWARD —~ : This report presents my observations and conclusions as Special Counsel appointed by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on August 12, 1975, to investigate independently the assassination of Senator Robert Kennedy. There has been some unwarranted speculation that delay in issuance of this report has resulted from changes being made in the report. Such speculation is false. This report is my product and no changes in either content or substance have been made by any other persons. Research for the report was conducted from January to March 1976. The report was written from March to May 1976 and dictation tapes were delivered to the District Attorney's Office fer typing. The first draft (which is available for inspection) was reorganized and checked for factual error, typographical errors and grammatical errors from May to August 1976. A second draft was then prepared and procf read. From this second draft a final copy was prepared for reproduction. Due to cut backs in the District Attorney's Office, this final process took abcut seven months. Secretaries were simply not avaliable to work full time on the project. I want to thank the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for appointing me to undertake this effort and I thank ail those in public agencies and the private citizens wne have helped me in my investigation. JI emphasize that this report is my scle responsibility. I hope that it will help to shed light on one of the most tragic occurences in Los Angeles’ history. SY st YE Ek fag fy tat, homas F.
