ATTENTION SAC: The Bureau has received numerous citizen
inquiries concerning the Hubbard Association of Scientologists,
International which alleges a new method of curing mental illness
that so radical in its results that it is equivalent to man's
discovery of fire. It has been brought to our attention that
Hubbard was accused of being mentally unbalanced by his wife
when she sued for divorce.
