FROM THE FILES OF THE FBI 226

[handwritten letter]

October 3, 1969

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm inquiring about an organization called Scientology and would appreciate any information you could give me on it.

I was told to write the F.B.I. in [BLACKED OUT], Wash. as they aren't allowed to give any information out.

If you can't give me any information could you please direct me to someone that could.

Thank you

[ADDRESS BLOCK BLACKED OUT]

Dear Miss [BLACKED OUT]

In reply to your letter of October 3rd, this Burea 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.

Sincerely yours,

NOTE: Bufiles contain no record of correspondent. In late 2962, newspaper clippings indicated that Food and Drug Administration officials raided the Washington, D.C. Headquarters of Ron Hubbard who runs the Academy of Scientology. Hubbard is the founder and president of the Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation, Inc., which furthers Hubbard's theory of Scientology, an alleged science which instills self-confidence and assists individuals in removing mental problems and obtaining human ability. Hubbard has been described as "hopelessly insane" by his wife is suing for divorce and "The Washington Times Herald" of 4-24-51, in mentioning this divorce proceeding, stated that "competent medical advisors recommended that Hubbard be committed to a private sanitarium for treatment of paranoid schizophrenia."
