This response letter is addressed to a Dr. Robert R. Citron, who was doing research on Cancer Lipid Treatment and had sent Robert F. Kennedy information on this treatment that he was working on.
I have including a short two-page information sheet on this Cancer Treatment that I found on the internet, as a tie in to the Robert F. Kennedy response letter.
The following is a brief background history for Robert Frances Kennedy as reported by Wikipedia:
Robert Francis Kennedy
(November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968), sometimes referred to by the initials
RFK
, was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 64
th
United States Attorney General from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a U.S. Senator from New York from January 1965 until his assassination in June 1968. Kennedy, like his brothers John and Edward, was a prominent member of the Democratic Party and has come to be viewed by some historians as an icon of modern American liberalism.
He gained national attention as the chief counsel of the
Senate Labor Rackets Committee
from 1957 to 1959, where he publicly challenged
Teamsters
President
Jimmy Hoffa
over the corrupt practices of the union and authored “
The Enemy Within
”
, a book about corruption in organized labor. Kennedy resigned from the committee to conduct his brother's campaign in the
1960 presidential election
. He was appointed
United States Attorney General
after the successful election and served as the closest advisor to the President from 1961 to 1963.
His tenure is best known for its advocacy for the
Civil Rights Movement
, the fight against
Organized Crime
and the
Mafia
, and involvement in U.S. foreign policy related to
Cuba
.
He authored his account of the
Cuban Missile Crisis
in a book titled “
Thirteen Days
.” After his
brother's assassination
, he remained in office in the Lyndon B.
Johnson Administration
for several months. He left to run for the United States Senate from
New York in 1964
and defeated
Republican
incumbent
Kenneth Keating
.
In office, Kennedy opposed racial discrimination and U.S. involvement in the
Vietnam War
. He was an advocate for issues related to
human rights
and
social justice
and formed relationships with
Martin Luther King Jr.
and
Cesar Chavez
.
In
1968
, Kennedy became a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency by appealing to
poor
,
African American
,
Hispanic
,
Catholic
, and
young
voters.
Shortly after winning the
California primary
around midnight on June 5, 1968, Kennedy was
mortally wounded
when shot with a pistol by
Sirhan Sirhan
, a 24-year-old Palestinian, allegedly in retaliation for his support of Israel following the 1967
Six-Day War
. Kennedy died the following morning. Sirhan was arrested, tried, and convicted, though Kennedy's assassination,
like his brother's
, continues to be the subject of widespread analysis and
numerous conspiracy theories
.
