The members of this organization allegedly study aRussian textbook on "brainwashing", and are asked to discussall their problems with the leaders of the group. It isalleged also that an unidentified serum is administered to theMembers and that hypnosis is practiced during these meetings.

_^_^rmmm^_m alleged to have become so engrossed inthis organ3t2at 10a, that he turns over to the leaders the bulkof his salary, and mtssea "a good deal of time" from his work -because of his attendance at these meetings. r ^

" The files of this office fail to reflect any infor-mation Identifiable with the indivixfuals mentioned herein; how-ever, these files, reflect that information regarding SCIENTOLOGY -was previously ftfrnlshed to this office, together with a mimeo-graphed pamphlet entitled "BlUIN-WASHIKG, a Synthesis of theRussian Textbook oo PsychopoXiti^s". This pamphlet definespsychogolitics as "SPhe art and science of asserting and main-taining dominion over the thoughts and loyalties of individuals,officers, bureaus, xutighipftsses, and the effecting of the conquestOf enemy nations through 'mental healing1".

Information was received on May 9, 1956, to the effectthat a new religion bad been formed in Dallas known as "SCIEN-TOLOGY".

"I've been studying Scientology for the past 2 years. Myexperience has been uniformly good. The material I've learnedin Scientology courses has been very useful to me in becoming abetter doctor and a happier, more effective person. In my exper-ience, Scientology is utterly practical and non-coercive.

"Is contrast to this» the FBI has been heavily attacking the^ of Scientoloffi recent&y. They have raided 2 churches, armed

j.with chain saws and sledge hammers, kept one of the national church|.leaders in jail for 8 months, asd rumor has it that the AttorneyHGeneral is about to start indicting more national church officials.•{(For what??), *t< ' »*'*I2 *-

»•

"I*m very concerned bemuse DwIt is my church and has helpedme and I hate to see it attacked, and 2> it seems to me tfeait there are.constitutional rights being violated left and right - ie -freedom ofreligion, freedom of the,press (newspaper files were raided, etc.)It worries me that in tê U.S. in 1978 government officials can socavalierly raid a church', doing physical, damage totally out ofproportion to w£at was necessary; that churches have met such greatresistance from government agencies when they tried to use theFreedom of Information Act to correct misinformation about Scientologywhich exists throughout government data banks.

h "It seems to me that the FBI mast be working off ofdistorted information. Could you check this out and write to

Gr-2-

ft Attorney General and express concern, or to a Subcommittee investi-Hgating FBI abuses? Is there anything you can think of you could doj|to help us get this straightened out? I'd really appreciate it."

Dear Con ressrhan Hayfcal,

I have attached a submission to you concerning F3I falsereports on Jhtireh nerabers and the either maticlous intentof such reports pr FBI incompetence. . .

We arc concerned about recent F3I false reports that would Inetsencc :saKe. i>cicntologlrts a for.*n of fugitives. This setsup a 5;ituation whereby some zealous agents might harm eitherthe Jh-rcn. neister or aembers of his family.

At icsue is the fact that sor.e me.riber of the Church may beindicted by th* Justice Jepartraent for alleged crimes ofeop.yi:i£ g^verrment.ôcuâents. ,The_ persons who may possiblybe r.ar-.ed have always beeh avall^fe and have continued to livein their car.e residences and woric in their same churches.

However, F3I agents either by malicious intent or by IncredibleIncîpetonce have sojughtta create a picture of fugitives fromjustice. / *.

20 June 1978

Dear Sir:

tie Repning ffeldt, Irene ,Mele, Greg Willardson, John Lake,!an#T51ek Welgaiid have beesn subjected to the manufactureand~aistr£BSiri0n of false reports by FBI agents underyour cofflmnd, the nature and extent of which endangerour physical safety, our families, as well as the reputa-tiSi^,#f©urselves and our church. We are here to demandthat action fee taken to correct these false reports anddiscipline those responsible.

According to the swo»n affidavit of special agent Russell' Cicerp of the FBI in New York, he was given the following"Information by agent Joseph Var£air*jof the Los Angelesoffice of the FBI: * .-.--**•-_•.

1. "Three members of the Church of Scientology, GregoryWillardson, John Lake and Richard Weigand have eachtaken up full time residence at Scientology facilitiesfollowing attempts by the FBI vo serve them with sub-poenas. (Gregory Willardson and Richard Weigand areat Fifield«4fanor, an eight story 500-600 room building,Jormeift? a hotels located in Los Angeles, California,fj&ha iake|is. at Cedars-Sinai Complex, formerly a 6,000room hospital in Los Angeles, California."

2, "Henning Heldt and C£fJ?e. Mele| two officials of theChurch of Scientology residing in Los Angeles, remainedin their private residences refusing to answer the doorfor a period of days in Oct of 1977, after the FBI triedto serve them with subpoenas. The FBI finally servedeach of these individuals after waiting outside theresidences for extended period of time; two days in thecase of Mr. Held Csic) and one week, in the case of iMa""

A package of documentation and evidence of the falsity ofthese statements is attached to this letter. While such • -.-information might be laughable in other circumstances,these reports create fugitives where none in fact exist,and subject the named individuals to being treated as person*

who are or will flee in the face of lawful process o f — -.tit? Courts. A law enforcement officer, FBI or other-wise, who believes the person he seeks is fleeing ismore apt to take violent and/or intrusive action tocarry opt his orders. Thus by the fabrication of thereferenced false reports agent *Varley and any otherswho contributed to them and their distribution havemaliciously placed the lives, safety, families andproperty of undersigned at risk.

The only, explanation for this action other than mali-cious intent is an extreme of incompetence approachingKeystone Cop proportions. That four agents spent ninefull days waiting outside the residences of Eeldt andMele to serve subpoenas on them when they were in factpassing to ancK£rom their fcomes without any awarenessof tfels surveillance givers rise to visions of agentsparked., ©n, the wrong street, visiting the local tavern,or .<<s$&>}iqg fup Qp their., .sleep. That FBI agents couldassume that Lake,1; Will&r&son, and Weigand (all married,the later two with children) took up residence at "Scien-tology facilities" when at* amature bill collector couldhave found ost otherwise is simply unbelievable.

The above wakes It obvious that"there may be delaysshould, the FBI. attempt to locate any of us in the future.As none of us Vish to be.shot as fugitives while jogging,or have pur tvoia s torn, td pieces in a search conductedduring the time we are formally at work, we are providingwith this letter our names, physical descriptions, addres-ses, business phone'numbers, usual work schedules, vehicleyear, make," a«3 license plate nursfoers, and routes by whichget fjffjfriPur homeswfso work. We do so in hopes that thefMore'labors'Of agents of the FDI lit LA to locate us willbear fruit as o poilfd* $o, false reports.

Further, we demand %he following:

1, That copies of the reports written by those agentswho attempted service of Subpoenas as described inagefit [Cicero'^siaffidavit, and any other reports writtenby agents or.employees of the FBI regarding attemptsto locate and/or serve subpoenas upon the undersignedbe delivered to us so that any additional false reportsmay be found and corrected. This would Include allsuch reports written since the 8 July 1977 raid onScientology organizations up to and Including 20 June1978,

2, That copies of the attached false report correctionbe sent by you to all those who received the false

We consider this matter extremely serious.

_.._— •_ • That on 17 March 1978, this Mission of the Church of Scientology,•located at 500 West End Avenue in New York City was visited by two I'UI agents.

' ; ".r - On entering* one of them introduced himself to the receptionist«s Suss and asked to sec Paula Tyler on a personal matter.

When I asked them the purpose of their visit they'insisted thatit was a personal matter and they could only speak to Paula. After I repeatedthe same question three times Bob asked if X was Irving Paiewonsky and when• I answered negatively, he said he would speak to Irving. When X refused toallow that to occur, with a nod from Hob, Russ pulled out his badge and saidthat they were FOX agents and had a subpoena for Paula Tyler.

* ' When I stated that X could not 4How a subpoena to be served onChurch premises I was ,toJd that X was obstructing justice and the implicationw«s clear that f might be in quite a bit of trouble.

Muss then left to call Ocnise Cote (their superior) and returned.to say that bv-ni.se wanted to take action against rue unless I allowed the sub-poena to be served. This statement was contradicted a few minutes later whenItuss told bob that Denise had been in court and he had not been, able to reachh e r . '. .. • ' : • ' * * • • ' ': ' . '

Although X have no training in legal matters, X believe it isillegal to enfcer Church premises or any private property under false pretenses;and clearly the reêctancc of Russ and hob to state that they were from thePDX seen;: odd And deceitful. And the lies that were told (as above) seemstupid in the extreme. :

I am not proud to state this, but Z was very scared in confrontingthese men anrf it uc<.ma unreasonable that my yoverruiujnt should employ peoplewho would intentionally intimidate me when 1 have done no wrong. •

COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES ) " ,"" '"

Robert Sarno, being first duly sworn, deposes and saysi

—-1-.~--I am an attorney who formerly represented" the Church of

Scientology in Los Angeles in proceedings arising out of various

searches by the FBI of Church of Scientology premises.

2. On June 19, 1978, I read the affidavit of Russell Cicero,,

submitted in the* case of In re Pa*>-a Tyler, dated May 19, 1978.

In paragraph 4, Mr. Cicero relates information communicated to him

by one Agent Varley. The purported information given by Agent

Varleyv«as that at some unspecified date, I liad ."initially of fered

to make available members of the Church for whom the Government

indicated it had subpoenaes. Two days after his offer, attorney

Sarno indicated th#fe he 'wshld be uaable to make his clients avail-

able to accept service of subpoenlis.*

.3. After spending a considerable amount of tin e searching my

recollection, I can truthfully say that not only do I have no re-

collection of making such* a statement to Agent Varley, I believe

that it is most unlikely that I would have made such a statement

to him. "•* s - •

4. I have no recolTection of ever having any communication

with Agent Varley on the subject of making church members avail-

able for subpoenas. It is possible that Agent Varley has confused

me with some other attorney repres

Subscribed and

the Church of Scientology.

Dear Director Sessions:

, • I am the President of the Church of ScientologyInternational, the Hcther Church of the Scientology religion.Recently, Ms. Gail Armstrong of one of our Churches of -jscientology supplied FBI Field Offices with booklets concerningIthe Scientology religion and the religion»s Founder, L. RonJHubfcard, in a good faith effort to ensure that the FBI possessestimely, socurate and complete information concerning Scientology.This is of great importance to the Church as the FBI hasroutinely disseminated inaccurate and derogatory informationconcerning that Scientology religion in response to genericinquiries from domestic and foreign authorities.

I as writing to you on behalf of the church because I wasexUreaeiy dismayed by the- refusal cf the Bureau:s Freedciu of! Information • Privacy Section Cfei**, 3. Kevin O#£*;ien, to evenConsider placing these -booklets in the files of the1" Church and/Mr. Huboard. According to Kr. O'Brien, as the Privacy ActI does not apply to grpups.- the FÎ "has no authority" to takeipuch action ,for the Ctjurch. This sitiori is eiûrd. If theinformation contained in an oryaniz&tion's FBI file. Xe clearlyunreliable and inaccurate, the FBI would be powerless tocorrect the inaccuracies in the file. Surely, the Bureau'slegitimate law enforcement interests cannot be served by themaintenance and dissemination of unreliable and inaccurateinformation to ether agencies. •S) — 11*1 I ££<&-*• 11 ^T

Mr, O*Brien*R position indicates that the Bureau'sinformation-gathering activities concerning groups isundefined, unchecked, and unregulated by any standards andprocedures. This is disturbing. The central conclusion ofCongressional inquiries concerning programmatic FBI abuses inthe past is that they occurred primarily because of the absenceof such checks and balances.

conclusion is that intelligence activities have undermined theconstitutional rights of citizens and that they have done soprimarily because checks and balances designed by the framersof the Constitution to ensure accountability have not beenapplied.1*).

Mr. O'Brien's position also directly conflicts withAttorney General guidelines and FBI policies concerning theFirst Amendment rights of groups. Indeed, Mr. Director/ youemphasized the First Amendment rights of organizations such asthe Church in your testimony before the Senate Select Committeeon Intelligence in hearings concerning the FBI investigation ofthe Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador(CISPgS). At that time, you stated to Congress that youinitiated changes in FBI procedures and policies to ensure thatFBI activities do not infringe on the First Amendment,including instituting First Amendment training courses andensuring that the information collected on organizations isreliable. Courts have als6 long recognised that theconstitutional rights of groups are infringed by inaccurate orunreliable information designed to stigmatize members whoassociate with the groups.

The records maintained by the Bureau concerning the Churchrepresent an unwarranted departure from these . policies. TheBureau has accumulated a repository of uniformly untrue,unverified and irrelevant information rife with innuendo andrumor which, when disseminated to foreign or domestic agencieswith the imprimatur of the FBI/ fosters a false impression oftne Church. This inevitably impairs and impedes the Church'sreligious mission and leads to adverse action against membersof the religion based solely on their beliefs and affiliation.

Although inclusion of these booklets in the FBI files on theChurch does not remotely Suffice to remedy the situation, atleast it will allow % FOIA requester or other recipient toreceive some 'accurate and up-to-date information on the religion.The Church should be entitled to the same neutral and unbiasedtreatment afforded other bona fide religions. The Church hassupplied similar information to the FBI in the past without thetype of objection raised by Mr. O'Brien.

Mr. O'Brien's position raises a significant policyquestion that requires your personal intervention andleadership, Mr. Director. The FBI should not refuse to ensurethat its records on groups are reliable and accurate. If theFBI has the power to create, collect and disseminateinformation on groups, then surely it has the power to correctsuch information as well. Courts have ordered expungement orcorrection of such information by the FBI when constitutionalrights are infringed.

HonorableDecember 18,'Page 3

•BPs. Sessions

You have acknowledged the paramount importance of FirstAmendment Rights and the need to ensure that the Bureau adheresto these rights in your testimony to Congress. These rightsmust not be ignored whenever an organization can demonstratethat information perpetuated in its files is unreliable andreflects an improper ideological bias. As you stated in aDecember 12, 1988 airtel regarding the Church, religiouscommentary outside the scope of FBI investigativeresponsibilities should not be the subject of investigation orreporting.

There can be no question that the FBI has the power toplace this information in the Church's files. As you haveacknowledged, Mr. Director, the FBI is not powerless to adhereto the supreme law of the land — the Bill of Rights.

On behalf of the Churches of Scientology and theirmembers, I request that you place these booklets in theChurch's files.. ' " • '%: , •• • .

Dear Mr. O'Brien:

I am the President of the Church of Scientology ofCalifornia. Scientology is an internationally recognizedreligion in 71 countries around the world with hundreds ofmissions and churches involved solely in religiolis,charitable and community-oriented programs;

It has come to my attention that FBI files often containmisleading and erroneous information about the Church ofScientology, the Scientology religion itself', and about L.Ron Hubbard, the Founder of the religion.

•, Because this information is sometimes disseminated toindividuals under the. Freedom of Information Act, I am asking

.jthat you pierce the enclosed booklets in the appropriate Main'Files and that you send a copy of these to future FOIArequestors. I also ask that they be appropriatelycross-indexed to any files mentioning I>. Ron Hubbard, Churchof Scientology, Dianetics generally or Scientology generally.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and lookforward to receiving your acknowlegement toy »eturn letterthat these booklets are now part your office's files.

Dear Reverend Armstrong:

This is in response to your letter dated August 15,1901. You enclosed several booklets an#Jreguested that they be'placed i%the main files on the Church of Scientologf (the-.Church) and L. Ron Hubbard (Hubbard); cross-indexed to any filesmentioning £he Church, Hubb&rd, Scientology or Dianetics; andsent to all future Freedom of Information Act <FOIA) requesters.

Your attorney, Kendrick L. Moxon, vas previouslyinformed by letter dated April 16, 1990, that the FOIA, 5 U.S.C.§ 552, contains no provisions for the amendment, correction, orexpungement of material considered by the requester to beinaccurate, false, or misleading. The Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. §552a, contains provisions allowing individuals to obtaincorrective action based on accuracy or First Amendmentconsiderations, but defines an *individual" s a citizen orpermanent resident alien. Therefore, the Church is not an"individual" and has no standing to request amendment,correction, or expungemen£3 lunder the Privacy Act; and the FBI hasno authority unc*.er the Privacy, Act to take such action for theChurch. • *

Dear Reverend Jentzsch:

This is in response to your letter addressed toDirector William S. Sessions dated July 12, 1990. Because yourletter principally concerns the maintenance and dissemination ofinformation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as wellas the fact that there is pending litigation involving the FBIand ;&hurch of Scientology, it has been referred to my office forresponse. " ... . •" ' • ,. . . .

Initially, I would ii&e to advise you that as yourletter raised numerous concerns involving FBI operations andpolicy, a thorough examination requiring a significant amount oftime and effort fey agency personnel was required. Such a reviewby the FBI necessitated a delay in responding until now. I amsure you appreciate the FBI's desire to be as responsive.to yourinquiry as possible. You can be assured that the concernsaddressed in your letter were thoroughly evaluated prior to thisresponse.

As correctly stated in your letter, the FBI is taskedby Federal law and regulation to investigate violations ofFederal law. In carrying out this responsibility, the FBI has abroad mandate, yet is also governed in certain areas by specificlaw and regulations. In $he area of record collection,maintenance and dissemination, which seems to be a significantconcern of *J*e Church of Scientology, the FBI is required bystatute and regulations to document agency operations, policy,activities and transactions, and to maintain records acquired orcreated in the course of conducting agency operations/business.

SEE NOTE PAGE FOUR AND FIVE

Reverend Heber Jentzsch

This includes maintenance of correspondence which can often•ncompass a complaint of criminal activity, substantiated .or unsubstantiated by facts, borne out or not borne out bysubsequent investigation. Unsolicited correspondence received bythe FBI often contains the personal opinion, impressions orinterpretations of the facts by the writer. Nevertheless, the<£haracter or origin of such correspondence does not relieve theFBI of its statutory obligation to maintain such documentation orconduct the appropriate investigation. Moreover, the FBI, as aFederal agency which performs as its principal function theenforcement of Federal law, is authorized, and has elected, toexempt itself from the statutory obligation to maintain in itsinvestigative records system only such information about anindividual as is relevant *nd necessary to accomplish itsmandated functions and to .collect information I© the greatestextent possible directly froft the subject individual himself.The Privacy Act (PA) (t^tle 5# United States Code (U.S.C),Section 552Jf excuses €fte FBI thro^fh a specifje statutoryexemption from these as well as (certain other record collectionand maintenance requirements.

A review of records concerning the Church ofScientology and its founder, Lafayette Ronald Hubbard, in theCentral Records System at FBI Headquarters, has determined thatthese documents have been compiled and maintained for legitimatecriminal investigative and/or administrative purposes. Thisdetermination has been the subject of civil litigation andFederal"Courts have affirmed the FBI's position. We believe thatthe dissemination of such information in response to officialrequests by»law enforcement agencies, and in accordance with thedisclosure requirements of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),[Title 5, U.S.C., Section §52), has been in accordance with allapplicable laws and Department of Justice (POJ) regulations,

The FOIA requires the FBI to discloste record informa-tion not specifically exempt from disclosure pursuant to certainstatutory exceptions. Because of Mr. Hubbard*s prominentposition within the organization, the loss of privacy (under theFOIA) following his death, and the lack of privacy rightsaccorded to organizations, much of the information concerningMr. Hubbard and the Church of Scientology is subject to publicdisclosure. The records released pursuant to the FOIA, as wellas the summaries produced in response to official inquiries(which would also be subject to FOIA requests), record the FBI'sinteractions with Mr. Hubbard, his organizations, inquiries andcomplaints by individuals, as well as the investigations ofcertain persons suspected or accused of criminal activities.

When the FBI releases record information subject to thePA, such disseminations are made in accordance with all


applicable statutory requirements. Also, when disseminations ofinformation are made to other agencies or foreign governments,the FBI advises the authorized recipient in writing that theinformation conveyed does not constitute the conclusions or^•commendations of the FBI. Compliance with statutory andRegulatory obligations does not and should not be interpreted asplacing the imprimatur of the United States Government or the FBI©n the content of investigative record information when disclosedto the public through the FOIAf or to other Federal agencies oragencies of foreign governments for law enforcement purposes.

In response to your proposal that the FBI correct orexpunge its records concerning the church of Scientology, I mustpoint out that the FOIA contains no provisions for the amendment,correction "or expunction of material considered by the requesterto be false, inaccurate, incomplete-;8 \mtiftely or irrelevant foragency purposes. The PA does-contain provisions for theamendment and correction of records^ Sucis corrective action,however, is only available to 4n individual as defined by the PAand the organization you represent is-not an individual asdefined under the PA. There are no provisions in the PA thatprevent the maintenance of information concerning anorganization. ^

Additionally, you should^be aware that the disposal ofagency records is also governed by specific laws and regulations.Prior to any expunction or destruction of records, the FBI mustconsult and receive the approval of tfee National Archives andRecords Administration (NAKA) in accordance with Title 44,U.S.C., Section 3106, 3301 et seg. Agency records deemed to havesufficient administrative, legal, research ©jr other valuegenerally are not authorized tor -de^r^ct'4o^'an^l -are transferredto NARA for retention and preservation. Tills is $6 even when theoriginating agency no longer has a need for suck records.' TheArchivist of the united States Jjas issued pe filatiows for thedisposition of Federal records, 'and'federal agencies are requiredto develop and implement record destruction plans in conformancewith the Archivist's published regulations. Accordingly, the FBIis governed by and must strictly adhere to regulations and plansfor the disposal of all agency records.

The FBI »akes every effort to collect and maintainrecords in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.Such laws and regulations strike a balance between the rights ofindividuals and the investigatory responsibilities of Federal lawenforcement agencies. As you have correctly recounted in yourletter, members of the Church of Scientology have been thesubjects of Federal criminal investigation and prosecution.Consequently, information pertaining to certain members of theChurch, as well as the Church of Scientology itself, has been


legally maintained and has been the subject of appropriate andpermissible inter-agency disseminations and disclosure inaccordance with the FOIA.

Finally, it should be noted that in response to FOXArequests concerning the Church of Scientology, the FBI discloses,in addition to other responsive records, a compilation ofmaterials provided by the Church concerning its activities. TheFBI considers this course of action reasonable and in conformancewith the FOIA.

It is hoped that this response satisfies your inquiry.In view pf the FBI's stated operational and legal positions inthis »atter, particularly as regards the issue of expunction, wedo not believe that a fleeting between agency and Churchrepresentatives to discuss the latter would be useful.

• Sincerely yours,

Joseph R. DavisAssistant Director - Legal Counsel

Note: This correspondence responds to the 7/12/90 letter fromthe Reverend Heber Jentzsch, President, Church of ScientologyInternational, wherein the Reverend Jentzsch alleges numerousimproprieties by the FBI in the collection, use, maintenance anddissemination of information relating to the Church, much ofvhi$fc is derogatory in nature. The FBI's response wascoordinated with Information Management Division and theCongressional Affairs Office-, Delays in responding were incurreddue to the nature of the records*in issue, the required review ofsuch records and review of past civil Xitigatiojv involving theChurch of Scientology, as well as the review of priorcorrespondence and agency memoranda on the subject of recordspertaining to the Church of Scientology.

This response is in accord with eairlier FBIcorrespondence regarding this matter and the legal opinionsexpressed and positions taken by the FBI and DOJ in civillitigation regarding the same or similar matters.

There are two pending FBI FOIA lawsuits involving theChurch of Scientology [Church of Scientology of California v.£fil, U.S.D.C., CD. Calif., Civil Action Number 90-204BR; Churchpf Scientology International v. FBI. U.S.D.C, D. Mass., CivilAction Number 91-10850C].

"inquiries from domestic and foreign authorities.11

Your claims and requests stem from a misunder-standing of the role of the FBI and the specific laws andregulations which guide our record keeping practices.

The FBI is required to document agency operations,policy, and transactions, and to maintain records acquired orcreated in the course of conducting agency operations. Thedocuments about the Church of Scientology were compiled andmaintained for legitimate criminal investigative and/oradministrative purposes. This determination has been thesubject of civil litigation and Federal courts have affirmed theFBI*« position, '.v-

The FBI is not an information center to answer generalquestions about your organization or other organizations. It isnot a means for groups andi organizations to provide informationabout themselves to domestic and foreign law enforcementauthorities who seek information from the FBI.

I have reviewed Br. O'Brien's actions in this matterand am in complete agreement with them. A further explanationof the FBI's position in this regard was provided by Joseph R.Davis, Assistant Director -Legal Counsel, in his letter to youdated June 5, 1S91.

Greeks we still had no response. I was-, agiaied and astounded that the Attorney^General of the United State* would notrespond to the letter from an establishedattorney staling he was representing aretired FBI agent with approximately26 years in the Bureau and that thisagent had about 25 allegations of fraudand corruption within the five yearstatute of limitations. I couldn'tbelieve that the Attorney Generalwouldn't at least acknowledge receiptof the leAer. So after about six weeks orso I suggested thai we take an alterna-tive approach so he contacted DaleDillingcr. The first individual whopublished anything was Diftinger in

Seven Days magazine. I thought. th.it after these allegations

O»FFIDAV?IT

I. Jcsooh Alfred Burton of 1804 South Habana Avenue, Tampa Florida,being of sound mind, do hereby affirm the fallowing to be true andfactual. ;-..-.

rrom May 1972 until July 1974, I was employed by the Federal 8ureauof Investigation.. My activities with the FBI included "COIMTELPR0"type missions uith the Intelligence Division of the FBI. Wy auper-visor in the Tampa field office was Special Agent Robert Hlabel*

All action taken by myself in this operation was uith the full know-ledge and direction of the Tampa Field Office of the FBI and withtna approval of the Uashington, O.C. office of the Intelligence Di-vision of the FBI. ,,-r. •%*;

In Play of.1972, I vas instructed by the f8I to keep underîorveill-ance and to actively become involved with one Richard Arvedon. AboutAugust oft September of 1972, I was* directed by the F6I tso accompanyI; ftfwed«n on a trip to Ualley Forge Pennsylvania after personallyoffering input on plans that uerfe approved by the Washington, O.CrIntelligence Office of the Fei and securing needed monies for expenses,The basic plan was as follows: "

I uss to furnish «r. Arvedon with transportati'oo, 90ns ammunitionand "muscle" to assist him with hi* suggestion of actioft "against are.irecf Federal Judge and wife. Ar^don yaoted to fcffcnap the Judgeano uife in an effort to recover- stolen travelers cheques from theJura's relatives who Arvedon 1*312 given the stolen cheques to fe* themto "ftnee". Arvedon's prooosai r'yss . to threaten his friends who hadt..e cirques by telling them he would kill the Jedge If they did notre .urn the cheques or the money frof Cfeocins them. The 3uc"«e was arc-Jetiog of theirs. " •'*" •*<

ThG rSI pi~r. that was scproveS" ty'Onsînoton was clear that I wouldnot cnly assist. Mr. Arvedon in his sc»sê fcut I v*s. at«o directed

that should t get caught or jflvestioated, I would claim self defenseand if the FGI were to be investigated,, we voeld all claim we wereprotecting the life nr the federaj jgdr.oj Tisus the Fai was fornishircthe- uhereuitrtfell for Sfvedoft to foUpw,*hrpygh >.it*> his kidnap scheme(uf.ich hs couldn't hate even done otherwise) in•'*«.effort to kill hio.

TMe kidnap scheme was never accomplished. ~ Uhile ertroute to the Judge'spiece, I persuaded Arvedon tp try to get the cheques directly fromhis friends before kidnaping the judge. Arvedon was successful indoing this a^d it probably saved his life.

In April of 197S, the FBI invited me to a meeting at the office ofthe United States Attorney in ta«nn» Florida. A Federal Grand 3uryuas hearing testimony about Richard Arveden among other things. TheU.S. Attorney's office wanted me to testify for the Government beforetne grand jury concerning wt>$t I knew 'about Arvedon. At. this, meeting,! -et vit*v a representative of toe U.S. Attorney's Office »nrf >n FBIagent.

The ret vafited to charge (ir.Jict) fir. ,"rv?-Jor» with conspiracy to -kid- inap and co.-cit B;urder uith respect to tr>a federal judge action men-tioned above, I informed the Assistant U.S. Attorney present thatall I could testify to was the accuracy or inaccuracy of the TSI re-port covering the Arvedon case which I Had previously initialed forth= FBI. At that point, I realized t>st the U.S. Attorney's officedid not have the complete story - he was not aware of the transportat-ion, guns etc. that ue had furnished Sr. Arvedon, nor uas he apparentlyaware that the FBI intended to use t*is trip as an opportunity to killdr. Arvedon. • .

I told the U.S. Attorney's Office representative at that point thathe did not have ail of the facts and should get the FBI report. Heasked the f"8I agent present- if he could see the full report. TheFBI agent replied.that a request would have to be made to the SpecialAgent In Charge of the Tamps Field Office of the f8I.

I informed the Assistant U.S. Attorney that if he went to trial with-out knowing the full Arvedon Story and hou the FBI assisted Arvedonin his so-called kidnap/murder scheme, my testimony «nd defense quest-ions concerning F3I COiSTCtPRO involvement would cause the jury, ifrot the judge, to throw the whole damn .thing out of court and he (theAssistant U.S. Attorney) would took.like ah ass._ .

At this point, the coverup of the f81 curder plot against Arvedon andthe FBI's involvement in the kidnap/extortion/murder scheme was begunwith the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Off'j.C© in Tampa. It wasdecided in the meeting mentioned above that the U.S. Attorney *9;. Of f icewould forget about the kidnap/murder scheme and only charge Arvedonwith interstate transportation of stolen cheques. .Arvedon was. nevercharged with the kidnap conspiracy because it would have expose©4 theF3I's involvement in the affair. -'•'-

The U,S. Attorney** of-ficfe it* Tampa allowed this whole thing to becovered up. Arvedon did conspire to kidnap and possibly commit murdlsr,but he could never have do«e it without the* ..assistance of the FBI.uirvjn th4,s was brought out, toe U.S. attorney's office not #nly didn'tprcsecuie Arvedon for the scheme but did not initiate any sort of in-vestioatioo intp the fSI'S involvement in the affair. Actually, theFBI sgents dire«&4ng and approving the5 conspiracy should have 03enon trial.

In surinary, the F6I aic'jd and abetted a known criminal in a VitJf*ap/murder conspiracy uhîe 'also f*l-;r».-iif»a t>eir own- murder cbo$pirtcyc.~.Dinst'the ipsn. they t^n alte.-pteij to ca«$.e a Gf an<f, 3utfy indict-r-nnt aftînst'tp^ nan for the F<?o*r<-1 Vrir.e t!:ey heipg-V hir cotvsit.The U.S. Attorney's Sffic^ in T?.T,p?< fla. then covered up the wholeir.scs and not -ooiy ciion't prosacn-ie t!«© «an fo? the'c iiRo but alsodiet ret irsitiste any gction an^^nst '=Is conspiratdrs - the FBI.

These areas should beIsofisidercd expeditictarsly because the Department aay be called•»pon tO'&newer public and congressional inquiry with respect •thaeeto, and asay best be handled outside of DSA because of the'iflfoiveaeat of Actifig Chief Inspector Phillip Saith and the* indications of possible efforts to prevent full disclosure.(See pageo 3*7 b.olow).

(October 2, 1974, ReportOperation Silver Dollar).

Smith stated .that he received a call from Safir in Feruary, 1973 concerning the possibility of using BSDD funds forgambling to facilitate the penetration of the Las Vegac narcotaoperation. Smith advioed Safir that he would inquire as to the"legality, of this procedure and later informed Safir that in *<.!;&-opinion of the Chief Cour.oel, "the budgetary language for BHDjwould prohibit thi6 type of expenditure".

'•'• 5mith then recalled a previous offer of assistance TMby Intcrt«si, contacted Peloquin and thereafter arranged for B'.Tto receive $W,000 for ganifcling purposes from Sunura Corporationa. subsidiary of the Hughes Corporation. Peloquin stipulated ththe monies be j»airi>led on Frontier Hotel tables and that a dscbe furhiched to Inftertel at the completion of the project toprote csjjf th« Corporation's income tax liability.

While I would like to offer you some assistance, theFBI lacks investigative authority unless there is evidence of aviolation of Federal tytt. mmr which we have investigative juris-diction. Based on the data you provided, there is no indicationof such a violation.

Gentlemen;

May I bring to your attention anIndividual whose Kazi activities, in time ofnational emergency if not at present,mightconstitute him a menace to the/state?

namesis Walter Past, a GermanWhose! sistej* is « meiaber of the Gestapo InGermany. His anti-America** discourses concernIn the main what he would do In case we wentto war with Germany, and he never speaks forpublication along this line but only privately.As steward of the Knickerbocker $fotel he supportsan almost entirely German staff, discourgains theemployment of .Americans. He entered this countryillegally, according to his private statement.In my opinion he is definitely "fifth column".Be can be found at. the Knickerbookejp Sptel,120 ¥. 45th Street* IlxC.

My interest in this i s impersonal,though possibly shaded by the feeling of dislikewhich he eiwaj s inspires in res for> he lo thelast mart i» the world I would tras*. &n0 Ifear that a l l too Boon we will have m&*C ofevery precaution to safeguard our country.

In May, 1976, members of COS impersonated IRS agentsand gained access to the U. S. Attorney's Office In Washington,D. C. They were discovered in the act of reproducing .Governmentdocuments. This incident precipitated a massive investigation bythe FBI against various, officials of the COS for violationsranging from Theft of Government Property to Aiding andAbetting. (U)

During our JUivestigation, two COS offices (Californiaand Washington, D. C.) were searched in July, 1977, and over20,000 documents confiscated. (U)

In October, 1979, nine officials of the COS wereconvicted for directing a conspiracy to steal Governmentdocuments about COS. In December, 1980, two more officials wereextradited from Europe &n$ convicted is this case. (U)

COS filed several civil actions suits in the late1970s and 1980s. Th-e*#epartn»ent of Justice (DOJ) and FBI weredefendants in &t least two of these civil actions. Both actionsinvolved cases seeking equitable relief in the form ofinjunctions prohibiting the FBI and DOJ from harassing andinterfering with the Church's exercise of their first amendmentrights. (U)

Our. Tampa, Florida, Office conducted an investigationin 196< into charges that COS had set up an elaborate scheme toutilize drugs and prostitutes to compromise a Federal judgepresiding over civil litigation' involving the COS. Investigationfailed to substantiate the allegations and the u. S. Attorney,Tampa, declined pros/ecution. {V)

Dear Sir*

The following report is a brief summary of a "dossier" compiledon the ifnternational Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).This "dossier" is the result of a two year investigation intowhat is behind Interpol, and contains 200 pages.

We found that it is a nazi dominated group in concept and prac-tice. Incredibly we also found that this once highly regardedorganization condones terrerism, by refusing to give informationon terrorists and giving information to the world's mostnotorious terrorist nations.

In this our Bicentennial year the United States is a prime tar-get for terrorist attacks* There have been threats receivedand bombings are growing frighteningly large in number. Whilethe FBI is g&ing to extremes'to fight this exp-cted onslaughtof terrorist activity, in an effort to bring this to a morel<5cal front we are sending this report to local police departmentsto inform yott of the grave dangers of supplying Id formation toInterpol. •

The information revealed by our investigation has sparknd fivecongressional investigations; Massachusetts is currently drafting

^.legislation to protect police in that state from having to give~* information to Interpol. In addition Rep. Edward Beard of RhodeIsland has proposed legislation that would severly limit Interpol's

._. ..powfi>*«-~ So you see this da$a is pertinent and it would be consid-ered risky to not look into it carefully.

We have provided yojj with this report as part of an informationprogram in an effort to eliminate the threat of terrorism inthe U.S,. If you wisli any ''further information contact:

A REPORT ON INTERPOL

Interpol, the code name for the secret International Criminal Police

Organizat^îj is controlled by no government; they lire entirely

autonomoitJjf^They have the reputation of being a highly effective crime^ •

stopping unit, with agents world wide. In reality Interpol is an

enormous .Storehouse of dossiers on over 1,500,000 people. The only

legitimate use they have is to give data oh suspected criminals to the

police departments of the 122 member countries. Members include comm-

unist bloc countries Yugoslavia and Rumania. This gives Russia an in-

direct link to the FBI's hugo National Crime Information Center, since

liiterp©! hai access t© this. This gives communist countries access to

the files on ,1 countless number of Americans. The highly communist* new

government of Vietnam is also a member." Terrorist nations such as Syria,

Cuba, and Chile are also mewbers, giving terrorists direct links!

tjntcrpol wns formed in \92k\ in 1936" it's files and offices were moved

to Berlin and officially controlled by Nazi Germany. In 1942 the

••final solution to the Jewish problem" wns worked out in Interpol

headquarters in a meeting called by itfjE president Reinhard Heydrich.

That infamous solution WP.S the execution of some 6,000,000 jews.

Heydrich vi-xa succedc-d ?.s president bj Pr. Ernst Kaltcnbrunner, a gest^po

chief who WAS hnnged t\t Htirewburg for w^r crimes. At t\\v ond of the w

Interpol was officially dipbonded with the rvrrenfc of most of it's top

officials. It Wns-'ivxrented in \9h(> by Florent Louwnge, n n.?.zi collab-

orator working for the Belgi'Ti Internal Police during - tho v.nr. He w.->

backed finr»ncially by nnzi funds he withdrew from n special account.

Since it's recreation Interpol has openly refused to help apprehend

known nazi. war criminals! Not suprising when you know it's president

from 19683-^7'» Paul Dickopf, was an SS officer (/;337259) unti-1 h e

fled Geras*By when he apparently sensed the tide of victory turning.

There is a clause in Interpol's constitution stating: Hit is strictly

forbidden for the organization to undertake any intervention or

activities of a political, military, religious or racial character."

This is the clause they use to justify their refusal to help apprehend .

nhz$- war criminals, and to explain their refusal to fight terrorism.

Other "crimes" don't seem to M l into this nren, although obviously

being political, racial, military or religious. Interpol has extensive

files on jews and catholics and they helped Czeehosl.Tvnkin apprehend

political refugees in 1950. In 1969 members of Bermuda's Parliament

charged Interpol, FBI, and CIA representatives were nt the Bermuda

fertorism in the United States is i very real problem. According to •':

FBt;director C3arcnco Ecllcy* the FBI has received information of

threats to "disrupt" the Bicentennial celobr.-.tior;?;. Also Kellcy states,

"I'n? not snying th-t mir n-itjot» is in immint-nt dnnp.rr or bcinr. Uivvnstnttd

by terroris ts . But f do cennider terror ism -\ very r<."l nnd >;rcv.vin£

problem."

t'fliile according to Kellcy the FBI is going to use "unusual rethods" ^

in an effiort J,o control terrorism this year, Interpol, which is partially

funded by U.S. taxpayers, absolutely refuses to give information con-

cerning terrorists. This refusal to do anything at all to fight

terrori§au>icri effect ,-cts to support terrorism. Interpol also supports

terrorieip by giving information to terrorist nations, nnd undermines

democracy by giving information to communistcf""

In conclusion, while congressional investigations .into Interpol 'taking

placeneed. considerable time to create legislntion opposing U.S.

membership in Interpol, effectii'e action cnn be t*K»?n right now in

polic© departments by refusing to send information to-Interpol. Your,

support is neede-a to keep Colorado and the U.S. safe from terrorism.

The only way that "can be done is by cutting off Interpol in this area.

. INFORMATION CONTAINEDxEIH IS Uk'CLASSIFlEO 3^.

if.S.fl.Y. cThe founder is listed asjb. Ron/Bubbard. This publication.states, "In the hands of ""the i/teAJUgeiTi, Scientology, by alter-ing huffisttf%nergy, has duplicated any miracle of yesteryear in%ealingj. But it is far more than a science of healing. By it

by ft aloce could be determined the quality of those whojovera iten^, By Scientology one can know and predict M s fellows,•he can heal and secure the future of his children, he can evaluatetomorrow and learn to rule today....In a fewiaours Scientologycan make the lame walk, the blind see." '

L. Ron Eubbard has been associated with a number oforganizations having their headquarters in Washington, D. C.Aeons those organizations are the Hubbard Association of ScientologistÎnternational, Eubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, and Acadeicyof Scientology. His organisations allegedly advance a new methodof curiag mental illness Jcaown as Dianetics. . .

The April 24, 1951, issue of the "Times Herald" newspaperWashington, D. C-f revealed that Bubbard*s wife charged in adivorce suit thai; he was "hopelessly insane" and subjected her to"scientific torture experiments.11 According to the article,competent medical advisors recommended Bubbard be committed to aprivate sanitaria for psychiatric cbccrvr.ticr. zzZ tre^tsent fcrmental ailment Known as "paranoid-scniaopnresia."

According to articles appearing in lios Angeles newspapersin April of 1951 Subbard was accused of kidnaping his wife byforce and imprisoning their 13 month old daughter.

The Pounding Churchof Scientology is self-described asfollows: \

* The tôaBding <&\irch of Scientology is a legallyconstituted Church, domiciled in the District 6t Columbia.

It has brStsches In other states, and has manycorrespondents and members of its sister religious fellowshipin all parts cf the world.

The Church of Scientology is dedicated to the freedomof the Spirit. f%e entirety of the activities ©f the Church ofScientology are dedicated to this end, to the freeing of theSpirit of Man.

Scientology believes that the Spirit of ISan can besaved f«CB .the burden of past sins, by the counseling andiding 6£ f he Spirit.

eir ends are purely spiritual, not secular.

By the nslns of Scientology, they believe, Man can bemade free and pure, free of the taint of past sins and free todo good to himself and his fellows.

Scientology believes in religious freedom as guaranteedfcy the Constitution of the United States of America.

Scientology will extend the hand of friendship to allwho are believers in Kan as a Spirit.

Scientology is a dead eneosr of secular teachings asstated by such latter day philosophers as Karx and others of thatilk.

Scientology believes that the tlnited States of Americaend the World cs z. vhcle requires r'olisiess freedom tc Survive.

"Life" magazine," issue of Kovember 15, 1968 containsan article on Scientology and states, nA'{growing-cult reachesdangerously into the sand."

"So BUC|J ,of a credo might be regarded as harmless—practically indistinguishable from any number of minority schemesfor the improvement of Kan. But Scientology is scary—becauseof its size and growth., and because of the potentially disastroustechniques it so casually icakes use of. To attain the Iruth,a Scientologist surrenders hiaself to •auditing,1 a crude form ofpsychoanalysis. In the best ssedical circumstances this is adelicate procedure, but in Scientology it is undertaken by an* auditor1 who is sifcply another Scientologist in training, who usesan 'E-ceter, * which resembles a lie detector. A government report,made to J&e parliament of the State of Victoria in Australiathree y^rs ago, called Scientology 'the world's largest organisationof unqualified persons engaged in the practice of dangerous technique:which ms&querade as mental therapy.111
