At this time all three of us were standingoutside the teletype room. I asked him where*the DeputyGuardian of the OS's Office was and if it was Mr. HENNINGHELDT*s. Office. He pointed to a door near us oppositethe teletype room and stated that was his office space. Iasked him if he had a key to the office and he said "no."He was asked does he know how to get in or did he know where akey was for the office and he again responded "no." Hewas asked who in the building had a key and he said he didnot know. He stated he was alone on the floor and whenasked who was in charge of the building at this time he statedhe did pot know.

I then- requested one of the Agents accompanyingme to contact the Agents in the lobby of Fifleld Manor byradio to find out If.the desk clerk could assist us inentry into the office space. *. Similar questions were askedof the desk clerk and he also provided no assistance in thematter.

Since there v?as no one there tocp«ft,,the doorto Hr.

* Attached article from the "New York Times" dated'"3/24/78 discussed in part ?EI investigation of Church ofScientology (COS) and "raids" carried out by FBI againstCOS properties in Los Angeles (LA) and Washinaton, D. C.(WDC").

FBI has never conducted an investigation of COS otherthan the criminal investigation involved here. The searchwarrant which-resulted in FBI searches of COS properties inWDC and LA during July, 1977, was issued after full andcomplete discussion and review by U. S. Attorney's (USA's)Office, WDC FBIHQ, and ranking Department of Justice (DOJ)officials. After execution, the search warrant was subjectto additional judicial review by U. S. District Court (USDC),WDC, Court of Appeals, WDC, and U. S. Supreme Court. OnlyUSDC, WDC, held the warrant to be invalid as a "generalwarrant." Court of Appeals, WDC, disagreed with this rulingas did U. S. Supreme Court when it refused to grant certiorarisought by COS. x.

Execution of the search warrant in LA recmired use ofapproximately 130 Special Agents (SAs) based on the logisticproblem involved. The 2 CO?-.properties searched in LA are7 and $ ,story buildings, ea«h containing many rooms. In factthese 2 searches took 16 and 19 hours, respectively, to complete.All the searches were resisted to some extent by COS reoresentativejsat the scene. Prior to one search in LA our personnel aavecos representatives almost 2 hours to produce keys. After the2 hours'elapsed, locked doors were broken to effect entry.A similar situation was faced during the other search in LA.Failure of COS representatives to respond to FBI requests forentry at the time of -the search in t*DC required use of a carbidedisc saw to *9£in enfcrv/io premises. In each search, our personnelacted in a professionlu manner a&d no h$?»Sf«8Lent or action notjustified under the circumstances^took

O'Brien to lioore MemoB«t SITOL

Throughout the entire search in the Los Angeles area, numerousScientologists followed Agents, taking hundreds of photographswith flashbulbs in close proximity to the Agents* eyes. SAC-Crlninal warned numerous Scientologists throughout the day thatthey were bordering on interfering with * lawful search andinstructed them to leave the area.

In addition, SAC-Criminal advised that every oppor-tunity was given to the Scientologists to produce keys; how-ever, after a reasonable period, it became necessary toforcibly enter some desks and some rooms. At the two locations, -Los Angeles Special Agents used utmost restraint and discretionthroughout the long search which lasted about 21 hours. SpecialAgents were subject to various types of harassing activities andverbal abuse.

The "Atlanta Constitution11 contained a similar articleto T h e Los Angeles Times"; however, in addition, states "Inthe suit, Church Officials Quoted one of the FBI Agents whoallegedly took part in the raids in Los Angeles as saying thesweep was *The most brutal search and seizure Z*ve ever 6een orbees Involved in.*" SAC-Crioiaal advised there is no Indicationany Agent made such a statement. It is^ obvious that from theabove-mentioned newspaper articles that,the organization'sallegations are in line with known and established tactics ofthe Church of Scientology when dealing with 'law enforcementage&cies who come in conflict with the Church during theperformance of their law enforcement functions* *

In reply to the requests of Los Angeles that FBXEQcontact the Department in an effort to ACêlerateôurt actionpending in Los Angeles; on 7/22/77, SA J H H H H H H | b e n e r a lGovernment Crimes Unit, contacted DeputyAssIstantAttorneyGeneral, John C.

mmm CDKTHODear sirst

I address you on behalf of the thousands of members of theChurch of Scientology in the greater metropolitan area vho sharevith me a concern for the preservation of their constitutionalrights under the 1st and 4th Amendnjeivts.

The Church and its members seek a more orderly society freefrom lawlessness and crime and are noted fop their nonviolentbehavior and stj ono interest in enhancing.our culture.

It roust be understood, however, that iPe'vilgl not continueto tolerate deprivations of the rights of ©tit fellows throughany of the actions of Justice Department (figure®) who actillegally and outside the protections set forth by our FoundingFathers.

Today we are demanding answers arid explanations from youon issues relevant to our concerns.

Irrespective of any legal arguments still before the courtswe demand to know:».. 1) Why are Assistant U.S. Attorneys, Justice Department an-:

FBI behaving diametrically opposite to Carter administra'tion human rights guidelines in their dealing with theChurch of Scientology? (Ro» massive raids that smasheddown church doors, invaded privacy, and ignored rights).

2) Why has the Justice Department and FBI disregarded the1st and 4th Amendment rights of the Church?

5)

Why has the Justice Department toqether with FBI engagecin a 20 year campaign of harassment of the Church ofScientoloqy?Is this campaign an attempt to block reforms that exposeFederal agency abuses?Why is the Justice Department with FBI continuingpunitive confinement of Rev. Arthur Maren? (now in jailover 7 months). Isn't the true reasor. because he is ma;:>rChurch of Scientology spokesman and has been the most

In closing it is our contention that harassment and intimi-dation from Justice Department has continued even after thenotorious July 8th break-in.

Continued abuse of citizen rights can only serve to instillin the citieeriry a greater distrust for Law Enforcement. Forwhen society fails to give to law Enforcement the respect neededfor a properly directed society, th-eo Law Enforcement will, inturn* fail £<*..give to society profgcti&ns it needs.

It's vourv. responsibility as preservers of the citizen'swel'fare to make this lipppen.

We await your reply with patience befitting honest citizensinterested in guaranteed restoration of their rights.

Respectfully,

Scientology stems from a bookcalled "Diasetics," by former sciencefiction writer L- Ron Hubbard. «bofounded &.e cburcb in the 1650s.

ScientoJogy Is based on a belief thatthe human spirit is immortal, flawedby memories of painful experience*that can be removed by remembering-.them.

In seeking the "dear." or un-troubled state. Scientologists use elec-trical devices called E-meters, whichchurch members say indicate feelings.About 15 years ago, the Food andEru2 Administration seized iozeasof the me:ers. charging the Scientd-oSisu with falsely advertising sup-posed Emeter medical benefits.

Ultimately the meters were ruled

As of last year only 13 of*be U.S.churches held tax-exempt status, andgovernment investigators have saidmuch of their interest in Scientologystems from tax questions.

Scientology also has faced legal•snarls abroad. As of last year, /orexample, Hubbard was excluded fromEngland, home of the "motherchurch," by government decree.

Hubbard, who makes frequent tripsabroad, was sentenced in absentia inFebruary in a Paris criminal court tofour years in prison on a fraud_ciirge.

2 Reporters for nThe Church of Scientology Wednesday filed a $1 million

Tawjuit in hx Angeles federal court against Times Minorand two Times reporters, alleging conspiracy to interferewith civil rights. -

The lawsuit stems from a series of articles dealing with• the Church of Scientology written ty reporters Robert

Rawitch and Robert Gillette and published earlier thisweek in The Times.

The lawsuit charged that the reporters acted in concertwith representatives of the FBI and the Department ofJustice to publish information about the government's in-vestigation of (be churtfc, which tesulted in the indict*nfents two weeks ago of 11 high^fanteng church members.

According to the lawsuit, the articles were intended to-"an unfavorable climate" regarding Qie church,•y influencing and prejudicing members of the judjek

and groups. $e play the gapes in ,th;e Boston area and charge an

This year instead of playing local fraternities and colleges

as we usually do, we decided i t would be nore fun to play teams

cojaprised of groups with which we have dealings in other areas*

This will afford us an opportunity to get to know you personal!

and will also be used &§• a.gi.xu.jick to attract more ^tendance

wiisti will pay off in eurfl U^vard the charity. The charity we ,,1 ' ' '• • ' • • • • ' * • • fc"*"

have chosen t h i s year i s the Jlmscgf Fund,

• We hereby challenge you to a garae to be played sometime

over ttie next 4»6 weeks. We are currently putting together a ei? T" V K
