Names like HARVEY LOWEVER, ERIC STARVO GALT, JOHN WILLIARD, and others were scrutinized for potential connections to the assassination or related activities. All searches yielded negative results, with no confirmed records of these individuals in the specified locations. One memo explicitly references Martin Luther King Jr. as a victim under the alias "UNSUB, aka John William; aka MARTIN LUTHER KING, Jr." Additional administrative tasks included savings bond promotions, form submissions, and routine investigative procedures.
