Just before the 1968 Democratic National Convention , the boiler room was to be moved to a temporary office adjoining the convention floor where the same delegate officers met with the same state leaders . Following the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy on June 5 , 1968 , the boiler room team wound up the campaign coordination work for which they had been responsible , before dispersing to work in other offices on Capitol Hill or elsewhere in Washington . They were variously described as " frighteningly intelligent , politically astute , capable as all get-out " as well as " uniformly bright , efficient , fascinated by politics " . The group remained in contact and were brought together for several reunions prior to that on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969 , which ended with the death of " boiler room " team member MaryJo Kopechne
