Summary:  
The document contains fragmented records from the FBI's investigation into the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK), including telephone calls, personnel notes, and case files. A call on April 20, 1968, was made to FBI Headquarters in New York City by an individual claiming to have information about the FBI's handling of the JFK assassination and MLK's murder. The caller stated that FBI agents were "nothing but policemen" and accused the bureau of misleading the public. The call was recorded, and no identifiable records of the caller were found.  

Investigations into Eric Starvo Galt (likely a misspelling of Starvo Galt) and James Earl Ray are detailed. Rex Rogers, an engineer for GM & O Railroad in Meridian, Mississippi, reported that Gault left on April 18, 1968, and had not returned by April 22. Everett Gault denied any familial connection to Eric Starvo Galt and provided details about his brother Curtis Hope Gault, who worked at Ford Bacon and Davis Construction Company in Monroe, Louisiana.  

The memorandum dated April 22, 1968, references a federal fugitive warrant for James Earl Ray (charged with MLK's murder) issued in 1967. It notes that Ray could be held on the existing warrant until transferred to Tennessee authorities for prosecution. The document also includes FBI case numbers, locations (e.g., Memphis, Jackson, St. Louis), and contact details such as phone numbers (e.g., 44-8389, 44-561).
