Summary  
The documents detail investigative efforts by federal agents in Louisiana between April 1965 and April 1968, focusing on maritime operations, personnel records, and administrative checks for individuals with names such as GALT, LOMBERY, SERVO, WILLARD, LOWEYER, and variations thereof. These investigations involved reviewing crew lists for ships departing New Orleans, utility customer files, arrest records, employment records, credit bureau data, voter registration records, and local law enforcement databases. Most inquiries yielded negative results, with no identifiable matches for the specified names. Some entries reference individuals like LOUIS A. WILLARD (arrested in 1965 for reckless driving) and GERALD GAULT (a retired salesman), but these are not linked to Martin Luther King Jr. or the assassination investigation. The documents also include administrative notes about declassification under Executive Order 14178 and references to maritime companies, local law enforcement, and utility services.
