Summary  
The documents consist of two distinct records: one detailing a database of individuals with names, addresses, license plate information, and vehicle details linked to activities around April 4, 1968, potentially connected to Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Entries include names such as Howard L. Hibbs, Leon G. Westbrook, Richard L. Pearson, and others associated with cities like Memphis, St. Louis, Tulsa, and Corinth, Mississippi, along with dates (March 29–April 3, 1968) and notes about motel registrations or administrative details. The second record contains motel registration logs from March 29–April 3, 1968, for properties across multiple states, including Corinth, Mississippi, Birmingham, Alabama, and Florida, with entries listing names, addresses, license plate numbers, and dates of stay. Both records are part of federal investigative files (e.g., File #157-9586) and reference declassification under Executive Order 14176 (2025). No direct mention of Martin Luther King Jr., the assassination, or specific investigative findings is present in the second record.
