FBI files on L Ron Hubbard


FROM THE FILES OF THE FBI 229

January 15, 1970

[ADDRESS BLOCK BLACKED OUT]

Dear Mrs. [BLACKED OUT]

The FBI has no list for distribution such as you requested in your letter received on January 12th. In addition, this Bureau is strictly an investigative agency of the Federal Government and, as such, neither makes evaluations nor draws conclusions as to the character or integrity of any organization, publication or individual. I hope you will not infer either that we do or do not have material in our files relating to Scientology or L. Ron Hubbard.

You may wish to secure a copy of "Guide to Subversive Organizations and Publications," prepared and released by the House Committee on Un-American Activities, now known as the House Committee on Internal Security. In it are listed some of the groups and periodicals which have been cited by various state and Federal agencies, and a copy of it can be purchased for seventy cents from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Checks or money orders should be drawn payable to the Superintendent of Documents. C.O.D. orders will not be accepted.

Sincerely yours,

[stamped] J. Edgar Hoover

John Edgar Hoover
Director

NOTE: Correspondent is not identifiable in Bufiles. L. Ron Hubbard, the founder and President of the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, Inc., is well known to the Bureau. This organization furthers Hubbard's theory of Scientology, an alleged science which instills confidence and assists individuals in removing mental problems and obtaining human ability. Hubbard was described as "hopelessly insane" by his wife in suing for divorce in the early 1950's.
