CITY OF CLEARWATER COMMISSION HEARINGS RE: THE CHURCH OF SC

The impulse to believe the absurd when presented with the unknowable is called religion. Whether this is wise or unwise is the domain of doctrine. Once you understand someone's doctrine, you understand their rationale for believing the absurd. At that point, it may no longer seem absurd. You can get to both sides of this conondrum from here.

Exhibit 35

NONDISCLOSURE AND RELEASE BOND

Know all Men by these Presents, that Tonja Catherine Burden of 210 California st., Las Vegas, Nevada (hereinafter called the Obligor) is held and firmly bound to the Church of Scientology of California (Hereinafter called 'the Church'), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of California, and having its principal place of business at Clearwater, Florida and Los angeles, Calif., in the sum of 10,000.00 (Ten Thousand Dollars) to be paid to the said Church, its executors, administrators, or assigns, of liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for the payment of which sum, well and truly to be made, the Obligor hereby binds himself, his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns firmly by these presents.

WHEREAS the Church has hired or otherwise employed the Obligor

AND WHEREAS Obligor is employed by the Church and is receiving the services and ministrations of the Church,

NOW THEREFORE the above written obligation is conditioned to be void in case the Obligor shall hereafter well and truly agree that he/she will never disclose any information, data, or knowledge he/she has or will learn about the organization of the Church, or any of the Church's affiliated Churches, Missions or Organizations including but not limited to their internal structures, functions or activities, and certain information which may be orally imparted to the Obligor in the course of his/her having been or being a staff member of the Church. The Obligor recognizes that any information or knowledge gathered is done so in a relationship of trust and confidence. The Obligor recognizes that he/she will have a fiduciary duty to the Church not to reveal any information of any nature which might tend to harm, malign, damage, or injure or adversely affect the Church in any of its activities or conduct.

Inasmuch as the actual damages which would result from a breach of the Obligor of his/her duties under this agreement, are uncertain and would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix, the Obligor promises to pay to the Church the above mentioned sum of $10,000.00 for each such breach.

Obligor also releases the Church from any and all claims which may exist now but are not known, by hereby expressly waiving the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, which reads in full as follows:

"Section 1542. (Certain claims not affected by general release.) A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected the settlement of the debtor."

In the event any provision hereof shall be illegal or unenforceable, then and in any such event, the same shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion and provisions hereof.

Mother,

Do you recall talking to me about WW III -- and where it would start if it were to start -- father and most everyone else maintained that it would start in either China or Russia vs. U.S. -- and you said -- oh NO -- it would originate in Germany -- that the Nazis hadn't given up yet - ? Well babe, you were right. There is a new Nazi resurgence taking place in Germany -- so now it's a race between the good guys in the white hats (Scientologists) and the Leiptzig death camp (Nazis) the bad guys in the black hats -- we'll win of course -- but the game is exciting. Truth is stranger than fiction. As Alice (Alice in Wonderland) says, "Things get curiouser & curiouser!" Get into Scientology now. IT's fantastic!

Love, Susan

George Meister
1404 15th Avenue
Greeley, Colorado 80631

Dear Mr. Meister,

First may I express my deep and sincere condolences for your bereavement in what must be a shocking and tragic loss. For myself as well as the Church may I express the hope that the spirit of your daughter may yet find the tranquility that it has so restlessly sought.

The purpose of Rev. Maren's visit was an expression of the solicitude that any Church might feel upon the loss of a parishioner. Rev. Maren acted as an emissary for the Church and, at the request of Captain Starkey, was entrusted with easing the distress to you and your family of what might otherwise have been a belated and perhaps abruptly impersonal notification by officialdom.

As your request to Rev. Maren for additional information, I fully understand your concern. Official details relative to the tragedy will I am sure be contained in the duly recorded testimony supplied the Inquest; as well as the Coroner's report; and the death certificate which I am informed is presently enroute to you. These documents will undoubtedly contain the detailed information which you as a relative of the deceased should expect to receive regarding the circumstances of death.

I am sure you understand that the ship's company, an independent Panamanian agency, is under no obligation to The Church of Scientology of California to provide information that it might deem goes beyond the scope of a reasonable inquiry by bereaved parents.

In addition to the details Rev. Maren has already communicated to you (a precis of which is attached), further details as to Church activity and doctrine can be found in the literature and Book of Ceremonies enclosed.

As to shipment of the remains, the ship's captain has indicated that should you wish local Christian burial with monument, such will be arranged in a Christian cemetery in Morocco, at company expense. If the remains are to be shipped to the United States, which I understand is your desire, the company regrettably is not in a position to bear the considerable costs involved.

Please call me personally should you have any further need of the services or good offices of the Church, and may I re-express my deepest condolences.

Yours in God,

Rev. Robert H. Thomas
Church of Scientology
of California

Exhibit 44

Greely, Colo.
Aug. 19, 1971

Weld County Health Department
16 Strand 17th Ave
Greeley, Colo.

Dear Sirs:

Recently this reporter has had disclosed to him some rather alarming news. I once had to cover a story in a small town such as Greeley, which had rather primitive but never the less adequate health facilities. These chose to ignore a Cholera warning from the World Health Organization. Believe me, the results were not pleasant.

There has been Cholera in Morocco. Everyone leaving the country is required to have a Cholera shot before leaving and there is a public health campaign to get all citizens vaccinated; however there is a shortage of vaccine. There have been a reported 200-300 deaths.

It has been brought to my attention that the daughter of one George Meister, died in Morocco either by an accident or from Cholera, probably the latter. Meister either already has or is in the process of bringing back the body to Greeley. An Epidemiologist that I've talked to concerning this, said that this was pure insanity and that he knew of one exact such case that caused an outbreak.

I urge you to handle this health threat to all Greeley citizens. Everybody could be affected by this. We cannot be complacent with such a danger.

My informant believes the funeral home, where the body is shipped is called Macys, in Greeley.

Please act quickly as lives could very well hang in the balance.

I'm sending copies of this letter to most Health officials in the state.

My attorney has advised me not to reveal my name due to possible legal hazards, but if necessary I'll do so in the Press, for my children live here, and I've seen a Cholera epidemic.

Very sincerely

A citizen
