EXHIBIT IX: AFFIDAVIT OF PETER GRAVES I, Peter Graves, state the following under the pains and penalties of perjury: 1.

2. The above representation were and are false. 3. Relying upon the above representations, I joined Scientology. 4. Boston Org members represented that the powers of "auditing" would remain confidential. 5. Boston org members induced me to join staff and fraudulently represented I would receive substantial pay for services rendered and I would receive auditing free. 6. Relying upon the above representations, I joined Scientology and provided my time and services for approximately three and one-half years, sixty hours per week. I made numerous disclosures during auditing concerning my life and the lives of others, that were thereafter revealed to third parties. 7. As a Church member, I became aware of the practice of revealing auditing disclosures to third parties for many purposes, including harassment, attack, blocking legal remedies and extortion. 8. In December of 1979, I left Scientology due to an increasing awareness of the fraudulent representation made to me and the general scheme of Scientology to swindle and destroy people. 10. All property in my possession that relates to Scientology, is owned by me and lawfully possessed by me. I have no property in my possession, nor have I given any property to Attorney Michael J. Flynn or any other person at any time belonging to the Church of Scientology, of which I do not have lawful possession thereof. [Signed] Peter Graves
