Our Ref.:
ICPO Interpol
No. 8.94/D.3/USAM/10
To: The Heads of the National Central Bureaus
From: The Secretary General
Subject: Church of Scientology
I recently met with David Miscavige, President of the Church of
Scientology's Religious Technology Center who had asked for an
appointment to
see me.
The meeting took place in the presence of the Church of Scientology's
lawyer and followed the decision taken by the United States Internal
Revenue
Service to exempt the Church of Scientology and its related churches
and
charitable organizations from federal income tax in the United States.
This exemption decision was taken in the ground that the United States
Internal Revenue Service accepted that the Church of Scientology and
its
related organizations are "organized and operated exclusively for
religious or
charitable purposes and that no part of their earning inures to the
benefit
of any private individual."
A copy of the decision, sent to us by the United States NCB, is
enclosed.
Mr. Miscavige had expressed his wish to have constructive talks aimed
as
resolving the disputes which had previously existed between the Church
of
Scientology and Interpol.
I drew attention to the general rules on which Interpol's functioning
is
based, and explained that international police co-operation through
Interpol is
founded on the following fundamental pronciples:
Respect for national sovereignty: Member States act within their own
national boudaries and in accordance with their own national laws.
Enforcement of ordinary criminal law: The Organization's field of
activity is limited to crime prevention and law enforcement in
connection with ordinary criminal offences in accordance with Article
3
of its Constitution.
Equality of all Member States: All the Organizaton's Member States are
provided with the main services and have the same rights.
-2-
I also emphasized that it does ot fail within the scope of the General
Secretariat's powers to investigate the Church of Scientology since
the General
Secretariat's function is solely to centralize information and ensure
co-ordination with the NCB's.
As a demonstration of my good will, and in an effort to settle the
various
disputes between the Church od Scientology and Interpol, I agreed to
circulate the decision taken by the Internal Revenue Service, although
that decision
obviously only applies in the United States.
Mr Miscavige also asked me to send you the following:
- A copy of the document entitled, "Description of the Scientology
Religion", which was submitted to the Internal Revenue Service.
- A copy of a book entitled "What is Scientology?" which, according to
the
Church of Scientology, is the absolute reference work on its
doctrines.
I consider that the above documents could be of interest to the NCB's
for
information purposes. Our sending you copies of this does not in any
way imply
that the General Secretariat has taken a position on the subject.
Since our meeting, Mr Miscavige has informed me that he has made it
known
to all the Churches of Scientologu that there are no further disputes
between
the Church and Interpol.

ment, once again using the Meisner fake identification to
gain entry. Mr. Meisner brought a variety of lock-picking
tools to open the file cabinets within the Interpol Liaison
office. Once again he was unsuccessful and they left the
building. On a third occasion, in mid-April, the defendant
Sharon Thomas entered the Justice Department Building with
Mr. Meisner; this time they looked through the office for a
combination to the safes and eventually found it in a file
card box on a secretary's desk. After opening one of the
two safes, they found the keys to the file cabinets and
gained access to the documents. They took some three to
four inches of documents out of the sixth floor Interpol
offices to the fourth floor photocopying machine where they
made copies or all the documents with United States Government
equipment and supplies. Some two hours later, the defendant
Thomas and Mr. Meisner left that building with stolen
copies of the documents.
Mr. Meisner made one more entry into the Interpol Liaison
Office with the defendant Sharon Thomas and Scientology covert

operative Michael Baun, through the use of Mr. Meisner's
counterfeit IRS identification card. Because the Guardian's
office officials wanted _all_ Interpol documents whether re-
lated to Scientology or not, Mr. Meisner, not only took some
documents on this occasion but also directed the defendant
Thomas and Mr. Baum to make weekly entries into that office
where they were to methodically examine each file cabinet for
any Interpol documents. The documents taken on this occasion
were photocopied using the fourth floor Justice Department
photocopying equipment as well as United States Government
supplies. The documents were returned to their original loca-
tion and the copies wore stolen. Mr. Meisner then summarized
the stolen documents in two separate memoranda dated 28 April
1976 which he sent to the defendant Raymond, who, as Branch I
Director National, had supervision over Interpol matters.
(Government Exhibit No. 80). 107/ The memoranda with attached
stolen documents were forwarded via Southeast U.S. Secretary,
the defendant Hermann/Cooper. The stolen documents related to

to a symposium for the heads of police colleges which Interpol
was to hold in September 1976, Interpol's history, and
terrorism. Upon receipt of the Meisner memoranda, the
defendant Raymond forwarded them and the documents to World-
Wide. 108/
Over the next month the defendant Thomas and Mr. Baum
burglarized the Interpol Liaison Office at the Justice Depart-
ment on at least three occasions. Those raids netted some
three feet of copies of Interpol documents. On each ocassion
they used the photocopying equipment and supplies located on
the fourth floor of the Department of Justice main building and
stole the copies. The documents were given to Mr. Meisner
who in each instance excerpted the documents in memoranda
identical to Government Exhibit No. 80. (See Government Exhi

Nos. 85 and 86.) 109/ Government Exhibit No. 81 is a
3 May 1976 Meisner memorandum summarizing stolen Justice
Department correspondence on Interpol for the period October
1957 to May 1969. Appended to that memorandum, among others,
were Government Exhibits Nos. 82-84, which have Mr. Meisner's
handwritten numerals in their lower-right hand corner as
well as other Meisner underlinings and notations. 110/
- -----------------------
109/ Government Exhibits Nos. 81 and 85 were seized
by Special Agent Glade R. Johnson from a file cabinet located
within the Information Bureau at the Cedars Complex. Govern-
ment Exhibit No. 56 was seized by Special Agent Michael T.
Repucci from room 14 also within the Information Bureau at
the Cedars Complex.
l10/ Government Exhibit No. 82 is summarized in Government
Exhibit No. 81 at p. one, paragraphs two to six. Government
Exhibits Nos. 83 and 84 are identical stolen letters from the
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury David Kendall to Deputy
Attorney General William P. Roger. They are excerpted in
Government Exhibit No. 81 at page one, paragraph seven. After
they were received by the Guardian's office in Los Angeles,
those letters were cross-filed into two seperate individual's
folders. Government Exhibit No. 83 was placed in a folder
on Deputy Attorney General William P. Rogers and Government
Exhibit No. 84 was placed in a folder on David Kendall.
(See left-hand margin of the exhibits.) All three exhibits
were seized by Special Agent William G. Ryan, Jr., from Room
13 of the Information Bureau at the Cedars Complex. Mr.
Meisner identifies the initials of Cindy Raymond next to
her title on the upper left-hand portion of his 3 May 1976
memorandum.
- ----------------------------------------------------------
149
Government Exhibit No. 85 contains two 17 May 1976 memoranda
and one 12 May 1976 memorandum by Mr. Meisner to the
defendant Raymond summarizing other Justice Department Interpol
documents. Similarly, Government Exhibit No. 86 is a 28 May
1976 Meisner memorandum to the defendant Raymond summarizing
nine pages or appended Interpol Liaison Office documents
regarding a General Accounting Office (GAO) audit. Each of
those memoranda were forwarded by the defendant Raymond to
World-Wide. 111/ Neither the defendant Thomas nor Mr. Meisner
had permission to enter the Interpol Liaison Office, take
the documents out of that office, or steal the photocopies for
the use of Scientology.
- ----------------
111/ Mr. Meisner identifies the initials and/or hand-
writing of the defendant Raymond on each of his memorandum
in the routing section next to the title. Mr. Meisner also
recognizes Ms. Raymond's handwritten notation on the first
page of Government Exhibit No. 86 next to the Snow White
"highest priority" stamp. Each of the defendants appended to
Government Exhibit No. 86 have Mr. Meisner's excerpts of,
underlinings, and numerals.

3. Offices of Special Assistant to
Assistant Attorney General for
Administration John F. Shaw
During the year 1975, a Senate Commitee had conducted
hearings concerning Interpol. In 1976, the Guardian's office
of the Church of Scientology was strongly advocating the re-
opening of such hearings to dispute the United States' con-
tinued participation in that organization. In this regard,
Hugh Wilhere, an official of the Public Relations Bureau
of the District of Columbia's Guardian's Office, informed
Mr. Meisner that he had met with Special Assistant to Assistant
Attorney General for Administration, John F. Shaw, whom he had
learned was supervising the transfer of Interpol from the
Treasury Department to the Department of Justice. Based on
this information, and pursuant to the order contained in
"Gpgmo 9", Mr. Meisner began monitoring Mr. Shaw's office
for Interpol related documents. On three occassions, on or
about April 29, May 8 and May 17, 1976, the defendant Sharon
Thomas and Mr. Meisner entered the Department of Justice
Building after 5:30 p.m using the defendant Thomas' Department

of Justice identification card, in order to steal copies of
documents from Mr. Shaw's office. On each occasion, the
defendant Thomas met Mr. Meisner outside the Justice Depart-
ment building.
On or about, April 29, 1976, following thier entry into
the main Department of Justice building, located at 9th and
Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., in Washington, D.C., they proceeded
to the first floor office of Mr. Shaw. Mr. Meisner forced
open the locked door to the Shaw suite of offices by inserting
a plastic sheet the size of a credit card to slip the latch.
Once inside the suite, they went through a secretary's office
which led into Mr. Shaw's personal office. On his desk
was a five to six inch high stack of documents, all related to
Interpol. Mr. Meisner placed these documents in his briefcase
and, together with the defendant Thomas, went to the fourth
floor where they both photocopied the documents using
Department of Justice photocopying equipment and supplies
located nearby. Thereafter, they returned the documents to
Mr. Shaw's desk. The copies of the documents were then taken,

152
without permission, in Mr. Meisner's briefcase to the
Guardian's Office of the Church of Scientology at 2125 S
Street N.W., Washington, D.C. Mr. Meisner excerpted one
hundred and twenty four pages of some eight hundred pages
of stolen documents in a memorandum to the defendant Raymond,
dated 30 April 1976, entitled "Re: Current Feud Between
Justice and Treasury - Justice Takeover of Interpol NCB"
(Government Exhibit No. 87). The documents, which Mr. Meisner
appended to his memorandum, each contain both his handwritten
numerals in their lower right-hand corner as well as his
underlining and notations in the left-hand margin. (Govern-
ment Exhibits Nos. 88-92). 112/ Upon receipt of that
memorandum, the defendant Raymond forwarded it, and the documents
appended thereto to World-Wide stating that "the data is
really fascinating."113/

the Information Bureau at the Cedars Complex. Mr. Meisner
identifies the initials and date "4 May 76" in the routing of
his memorandum as those of the defendant Raymond.

Thomas and Mr. Meisner entered for the third time, after
working hours, the Department or justice, this time by
displaying the identification card of Ms. Thomas. They
proceeded to the first floor offices of Mr. Shaw which they

and Mr. Budlong. Mr. Meisner identifies the signature on
that memorandum as having been written by the defendant
Raymond.
114/ The defendant Thomas and Mr. Meisner also burglarized
the suite of offices of Mr. John F. Shaw on or about May 8,
1976. Mr. Shaw's door was once again forced open, and recent
Interpol documents were taken, photocopied using United States
property, and the copies stolen. Mr. Meisner excerpted
these documents in a memorandum dated 8 May 1976, addressed
to the defendant Raymond via the defendant Hermann/Cooper.
See Governnent Exhibit No. 93. Mr. Meisner identifies his own
handwriting ("WW copy") - In the upper left-hand corner of the
first page. One of the stolen documents excerpted on page
one, paragraph three of the memorandum was a letter from
Treasury Department Acting Secretary Stephen S. Gardner to
Speaker of the house Carl Albert transmitting a preposed
draft bill relating to Interpol. (Government Exhibit No.
94.) Government Exhibit Nos. 93 and 94 were seized by
Special Agent Martin A. Gonzeles from a file cabinet in the

data which Mr. Shaw had received regarding Interpol in general
and, in particular, a an audit which was then being conducted
by the General Accounting Office. All of these documents
had been classified for "Limited Official Use". The defendant
Thomas and Mr. Meisner photocopied these documents in the
same manner as they had on April 28, and May 8, 1976. Just
as on the prior two dates, they removed from the building the
stolen copies. Mr. Meisner then summarized the documnets
in a 17 May 1976 memorandum to the defendant Raymond which
was sent via the defendant Hermann/Cooper. The appended
stolen documents bear Mr. Meisner's hadnwritten numerals in
the lower right-hand corner. 115/
In April and May 1976, Mr. John F. Shaw was, in fact, the

main coordinator of the Justice Department's internal review
concerning the transfer of Interpol from the Department of
the Treasury to the Department of Justice. He maintained
all his files on Interpol on shelves in an unlocked closet
behind his desk. He has reviewed the Meisner memoranda
referred to herein and the documents appended thereto and,
states that they were in his office on the dates of the
memoranda. Indeed, they still are in his files. Many of
these documents contain his handwritten notations while
others are specifically addressed to him. He did not at any
time give permission to the defendant Thomas or Mr. Meisner
to enter his offices, take these documents, photocopy them,
or take the copies for the use of Scientology.

Hart, Jr. queried Assistant United States Attorney Nathan
Dodell on the record and in the presence of Walter G. Birkel,
Jr., Esquire, counsel representing the Church of Scientology,
whether the United States had considered taking a deposition
of L. Ron Hubbard. Mr. Dodell responded that it was an
"interesting thought". which he would discuss with the Depart-
ment of Justice. 116/ (Government Exhibit 96 at P. 3). 117/
- --------------------
116/ See Founding Church of Scientology v. Paschall,
et al., Civil No. 75-1397 (April 14, 1976 Tr. at 2, 4). The

taking Hubbard's deposition?
MR. DODELL: It is an interesting
thought, Judge Hart . . . .
THE COURT: Why don't you take his
deposition?
MR. DODELL: Well, let me say, I consult
with people at the Justice Department handling
these cases because there are so many, we
obviously coordinate and I will certainly relay
that suggestion to them with the fact that you
have reiterated here. Tr. at 2, 4.

On April 20, Paul Klopper, the Branch II Director for the Legal
Bureau in the United States, notified by memorandum the
defendant Richard Weigand about this colloquy in Judge Hart's
courtroom and suggested an investigation be initiated. In
a letter dated 27 April 1976, and entitled "Re: LRH Safety",
the defendant Weigand wrote the defendant Hermann/Cooper
appending to the letter the Klopper memorandum. In his
letter, the defendant Weigand ordered that the following
actions be "done on a very high priority and as fast as
possible:"
A. A complete ODC [Overt Data Collectiom]
and CDC [Covert Data Collection] on
Judge Hart. (this can fall under the
targets of GPgmO 301 but must be done
very fast)
B. Get a line in the JUDY area 118/

intention to deposition LRH. Telex all
data found. You should also check out
the flow line on which this type of
deposition would travel and keep a daily
monitor of the line.

sition of LRH.
D. Also see if we can do some type of
JUDY action 119/ in Dodell's area to

The defendant Weigand instructed that in conducting the
investigation on Judge liii-t, the defendant Hermann/Cooper
should "Be sure to look for any data legal could use to get
him removed from the cases". On the same day, the defendant
Weigand informad the defendant Raymond of the directive he
had issued to the defendant Hermann/Cooper (Government
Exhibit No. 96 at p. 4).
In late April, the defendant Hermann/Cooper directed
Meisner, in writing, to execute the order contained in the
letter of the defendant Weigand of 27 April 1976. Appended

Wolfe and Mr. Meisner entered the United States Courthouse
for the District or Columbia located at 3rd Street and John
Marshall Place, N.W., in Washington, D.C., around 4:00 P.M.
and went to the 3rd floor which housed the United States

Eventually, they located Mr. Dodell's office in the back
part of the Civil Division area, off of a hallway near a
key-operated elevator and the rear door of the D.C. Bar
Association Library. They then searched for a photocopying
machine, and found one coin operated machine in that library,
and two other larger machines within the United States
Attorney's Office next to the Fraud Division. At 5:30 p.m.,
they returned to Mr. Dodell's office and found the door
locked. After trying unsuccessfully to force the open the door
with a metal sheet, they left the building.
Mr. Meisner instructed the defendant Wolfe to return to
the Courthouse in the daytime and inspect the latch on Mr.
Dodell's door to determine how to gain access. A few days
later, the defendant Wolfe telephoned Mr. Meisner at his
office at the Church of Scientology at 2125 S Street, N.W.,
Washington, D.C. and told him that he was calling from Mr.
Dodell's office. The defendant Wolfe informed Mr. Meisner
that Mr. Dodell's secretary had apparently left her keys on

her desk. Mr. Meisner directed the defendant Wolfe to take the
keys and meet him on John Marshall Place, N.W. Half an hour
later, the defendant Wolfe and Mr. Meisner located a locksmith
at Seventeenth Street and Columbia Road, N.W., where they
obtained duplicates of some of the keys. They then both returned
to the United States Courthouse, and Mr. Meisner
dropped the keys in the hallway adjacent to Mr. Dodell's
office. Both men then left the Courthouse.
On May 21, 1976, at approximately 6:30 to 7:00 p.m., the
defendant Wolfe and Mr. Meisner entered the Courthouse
building at 1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W. They drove from
there to the United States Courthouse. Mr. Meisner entered
the building using his IRS credentials and signed in
using the name "John M. Foster".

Saturday, September 13, 1975 Denver, Colo
Church of Scientology to warn of Interpol dangers
By Gary Gerhardt
News Staff
Members of the Church of Scientology will be in Denver this weekend to
alert police chiefs nationwide to the dangers of cooperating fully
with Interpol, the International Police Organization based in France.
The church members will attempt to influence the 3,000 peace officers
who will attend the International Association of Chiefs of Police
(IACP) conference, which opens Saturday in Currigan Exhibition
Complex.
Louis B. Sims, head of the U.S. Interpol office, also is expected to
attend.
Jeff Friedman of Los Angeles, chairman of the church's national
commission on law enforcement and social justice, is in Denver to
present the church's objections to the world police organization.
"Interpol's affiliations are detrimental to the rights of all citizens
and the integrity of law enforcement," Friedman said in an interview
Friday.
"This organization has 120 countries as members and adheres to no
national origin, which means it answers to no government.
"But, we have documented, and recently appeared before two U.S.
congressional subcommittees to present our findings that Interpol was
an organization that has strong Nazi ties and presently shares
information with such Communist-bloc countries as Cuba, Yugoslavia,
Romania and Vietnam as well as terrorist nations such as Syria."
Friedman said Interpol has access to FBI records through the National
Crime Information Center (NCIC) and often calls upon local police
intelligence agencies for information.
"Interpol has no powers of arrest in any country, but acts as an
international information file for all member countries," Friedman
said.
"The real threat comes from local police who willingly give ut
information to Interpol without questioning where the information is
going or who is going to use it."
Friedman said Interpol was formed in 1924 by Dr. Oskar Dressler, who
was working with Hitler as late as 1944 despite the fact Interpol
claims it suspended operations during World War II.
"We have Interpol magazines which show pictures of Interpol presidents
in the years from 1938 to 1942. Those presidents were Reinhard
Heydrich and Otto Steinhausl, who appear on the covers of the
magazines in full Nazi SS dress."
"In 1946, after the war, the U.S. rejoined Interpol and the late Edgar
J. Hoover was a vice president of the organization, then headed by
F.E. Louwage of Belgium - the same man that was head of the Belgium
police under Hitler."
Friedman said there is also documentation to show a great deal of
funding after the war came from persons in Brazil and Venezuela, known
retreats for Nazi's secreted out of Germany.
"Interpol refuses to help capture Nazi war criminals saying they don't
mix in anything political, racial, military or religious.
"Yet in 1969, Interpol was in Bermuda to help local authorities
identify black power delegates attending a conference, which I think
is racial.
"It refuses to assist in the curbing of terrorists because that is
political, but allows Syria to become a member.
"Down the line Interpol is trying to lie to cover up its Nazi past,
and I think the chiefs who are sending the organization information
should know this."

Maureen:
Scientology has had some kind of strange problem with Interpol
since the 1970's.
Ask yourself this question honestly "How does a religious organization
get it itself wrapped up with an organization like Interpol whose job
is only to track the international whereabouts of specific individuals"?
Did you get for an answer that no real church anyone has ever heard
of actually does? I got this for an answer.
Scientology got involved with Interpol because they were Scientologists
{no names mentioned} were afraid that Interpol might learn something about
them they would not want known. Second Interpol uses very advanced
investigative procedures
which are far superior to anything Scientology can dream up or afford.
And Maureen, you may have heard this before, but I will say it again. One
time when I
was on staff in *1978* the Executive Director of the New York Foundation
{then Raymond
Baiardi} called a special staff muster {meeting} and the GO came downstairs
to confirm
for all of us staff at the church, that the GO had discovered that Interpol
was a drug smuggling
ring. Is Interpol really a drug smuggling ring? I think *NOT* and I thought
*NOT* then as well.
