TO : DIRECTOR, FBI
ATTENTION: NAME CHECK SECTION

DATE: 7/19/68

FROM : LEGAT, PARIS (163-1744) (P)

SUBJECT: HUBBARD EXPLORATIONAL COMPANY, LTD.
FPC

On 7/18/68, [BLACKED OUT] advised that three yachts, "Royal Scot Man [sic]," "Enchanter" and "Avon River," have recently visited Spanish ports. Two of these yachts, "Royal Scot Man [sic]" and "Enchanter," are presently in the port of Melilla, Spain. According to [BLACKED OUT] the yachts are registered to the above captioned company in Sierra Leone, Africa.

The leader of the exploration company, presently in Spain, is one LAFAYETTE RONALD HUBBARD, born 3/13/11 at Tilden, Nebraska, who reportedly founded the "School of Scienceology [sic]" (not further explained) in California in 1950. This school was then moved to Esat [sic] Grinstead, Sussex, England, and subsequently to London, England.

According to [BLACKED OUT] these yachts appear to be floating universities and it has been noted that a large volume of activity ensues each time a yacht reaches a Spanish port. The passengers of these yachts appear to be extremely well-to-do people and are made up of many different nationalities and of both sexes. [BLACKED OUT] further advised that these passengers have been known to spend large amounts of money, as well as participate in conferences and long distance telephone calls.

[BLACKED OUT] further advised that they had heard that "scienceologists" [sic] have recently come into criticism in the British parliament and that they have been condemned by the British health authorities. It was also reported that six United States "scienceologists" [sic] have been recently denied entry into England.
