FBI files on L Ron Hubbard


FROM THE FILES OF THE FBI 293

[ADDRESS BLOCK BLACKED OUT]
December 29, 1974

Office of Public Information
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
Washington, D.C.

Gentlemen:

I am working on a research paper on the Church of Scientology and its founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

From my preliminary researches (articles in the popular press, and a brief brush with the "Church" itself), I gather this is the sort of organization that the FBI may at one time or another have investigated.

If you have, and if there is any information available to the public, I would appreciate any literature you could send me. A stemped [sic], self-addressed envelope is enclosed for your convenience.

Sincerely yours,

[SIGNATURE BLACKED OUT]

Dear Miss [BLACKED OUT]

Your letter of December 29th, with enclosure, has been received.

With respect to your request, 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 regret it is not possible to be of assistance to you.

Sincerely yours,

[stamped] C.M. Kelley

Clarence Kelley
Director

NOTE: Correspondent is not identifiable in Bufiles. The stamped, self-addressed envelope she enclosed is being utilized. L. Ron Hubbard and the Church of Scientology are both well known to the Bureau. Hubbard has in the past been described by his wife as being "hopelessly insane."
