1. In or about 1971 I
was approached by Arthur Maren who was the Assistant Guardian
for Public Relations in the United States branch of the
Guardian's Office of the Church of Scientology.
®
Maren asked
if I was willing to set up a Narconon
®
office and establish
programs under the direction of the Guardian Office. At this
time, one Narconon program existed in the Arizona State
Penitentiary and one was being established in the Cal. State
Penitentiary at Vacaville by a member of the San Francisco
Scientology Guardian Office. I agreed to do this and
undertook to make Narconon an international drug
rehabilitation agency on behalf of the Church of Scientology.
2. Throughout my period
as director of Narconon, I reported to the Guardian's Office.
Meetings were held at regular intervals at which the
executives of the Guardian's Office determined the affairs of
Narconon. All Narconon activities including the disposition
of Narconon finances were approved by the Church of
Scientology Assistant Guardian for Public Relations and the
Assistant Guardian for Finance, Henning Heldt. From the time
I became involved until I ultimately resigned, the Guardian
Office controlled all directorships of Narconon, although
Narconon was held out to be independent of the Church of
Scientology.
3. In 1972 I received the Univ. of Southern Cal. Intrascience
Award for my work as Director of Narconon.
4. In or about 1973, I
was requested to travel to England by the Guardian's Office
to assist the Deputy Guardian for Public Relations WW, David
Gaiman for the Church of Scientology in recruiting and
training personnel to help establish Narconon programs in
Europe. I went to Europe and assisted in promoting and
establishing programs in Europe.
5. Although it was
publicly admitted that Narconon used the teachings of L. Ron
Hubbard, and was sponsored by the Church of Scientology, it's
true relationship - i.e. that it was wholly controlled by the
Church of Scientology, was never publicly admitted.
February, 1995 in Los Angeles, Cal.
