I hope you will not infer either that we do or do not have materials in our files relating to the matters you mentioned.

NOTE: Bufiles contain no information identifiable with correspondent. The Church of Scientology has not been investigated by the Bureau. Scientology is the alleged science which instills self-confidence and assists individuals in removing mental problems. The group was founded by L. Ron Hubbard who now resides in England. In 1962 Food and Drug Administration officials raided the Washington, D.C., Headquarters of the Academy of Scientology in connection with alleged misrepresentations regarding "E-Meter" devices used by Hubbard's organization.
