Never before seen Sirhan Sirhan handwritten trial notes with pages of stream of consciousness ideas about how he could lessen his sentence for the murder of Robert Kennedy. His fantastical and absurdly unrealistic ideas even include blackmailing President Johnson for the murder of RFK, in order to force him into making a ''secret deal.'' Handwritten notes read in full, ''This deal will be a secret between Pres. - Mr. Parsons, Mr. McCowan [Sirhan's defense team], the Judge and myself - and permenently [sic] binding. We will agree to sign agreement / second degree or manslaughter / Dr. from San Diego?? / the D.A. must be unaware of our deal, remember [New Orleans] D.A. [Jim] Garrison / Judge to gurantee [sic] parole at first request - my safety in jail - private cell / he [LBJ] wanted to get rid of him [RFK] in order that he be renominated - re-elected / link this assassination with John's and reopen the conspiracy of L.H.O. / Convince him of the public concern that will take place if we talked. We will tell him that we have set a date until which he has time to comply or else we will spill the beans to the press / the boy at the range had 25c / *And to make Sirhan's case an example of it. / What can the pres. do if he rejects our proposition? and how?? / Definitely I will not accept life imprisonment / the President can contact the judge through the Attarney [sic] General / One hundred years ago, they tried to impeach a Pres. Johnson - how about it nowadays - another Johnson to be impeached - we'll try to, we will exploit some party's comments about me - in court - very embarrassing to the U.S. / Kennedy would have surely paid 500,000 and made a secret deal to stay alive - wouldn't the pres.? / If this crime were planned - would I leave any or so much evidence against myself / we could ruin the convention / Arab information center monthly magazines / caution the president not to be patriotic by refusing cooperation - because he will not enjoy his overpatriotism too long - it is better for him and HHH [Hubert Humphrey] to swallow their pride and cooperate than to be impeached and subjected to public shame. / I may be an S.O.B. Truman called me so, they may tell us to go to hell, we'll go, but we will take them with us. / Letters from N.Y. - show them to D.C. help to HHH - set him up before convention ante $$ court trial / we will tell about election, other govts hired me, arab-countries helping me / L.B.J. own prestige at stake - this is a small price / Tedd K. refused because he was expected to / we will play legitimate trial / we will sign agreement. No action whatsoever to be taken against me or my family (clean break) / the money we need so that I will not resort to exploiting this incident for income - and to avoid publicity. / we have nothing to loose [sic] everything will be in secret. / Republican party hired me. / Jews succeeded in their threats why shouldn't we. tell the president that we have a ready market to sell our story if he doesn't comply - in a foreign country / show him letter of support from arab countries / ask 750,000 because he might Jew us down to 500,000 minimum that we will accept / money to be in used unmarked cash - will put it in safe deposit box / penalty assessment??? / imprisonment in Chino only / Technicalities in trial??? / Pres. to tell the judge to accept. Diminishing responsibility defence [sic] and to play down D.A.'s presentations. / Grand Jury??? / the President can tell the judge that the U.S. should do this to protect U.S. interest in Mideast and to avoid Arab criticism of U.S. and further to show the world that the U.S. believes in Justice / Nasser - New Mideast war? / Challenge him to dare Us / televising trial?? / Will Dr. Atallah influence Dr. Crehan?? / Arab oil countries pressure H.L. Hunt to pressure L.B.J. / Tell L.B.J. that we will tell Nixon that L.B.J. wanted to knock off Kennedy, so that Nixon uses this against the Democ. Party''.
