CITY OF CLEARWATER COMMISSION HEARINGS RE:  THE CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY

EDWARD WALTERS

EDWARD WALTERS, Resumed.

MR. LeCHER: As I said, it's a very light copy, Mr. Walters, but hopefully you can read most of it.

MRS. GARVEY: What is —

MR. WALTERS: It's a standard comment, meaning Committee of Evidence for a — we've seen lots of these. These are the standard charges taken out of the Book of Ethics and Policies, because he's probably criticized the upper seniors. So, now he's guilty of suppressing Scientology.

I might mention one thing, only because of my experience in the Guardian's Office. It looks very real and everything, but be careful for dead agenting, meaning something that is sent to you — and this guy may not even exist. It does look real because I — I mean, this is the standard copy.

But just be careful. You're dealing with a very clever outfit. Anyway, I just wanted to mention that.

Dead agenting means that they all know you're doing an investigation. So, they will send one of your Commissioners a letter by a so-called Scientologist. And that Scientologist will meet with you and you'll bring him to the hearings, and he will turn you around just as that guy from El Salvador just turned the government around. It's called dead agenting. And then, of course, you will not be believed.

It comes from the — as Ron told us on tapes, it comes from the early days when an agent would tell the king something and, then, they'd find out he was lying and they'd kill the agent. So, if you give a guy false information and you find it false, Mayor, then, you wouldn't talk to that fellow again, would you?

So, I — just be careful of that. This is a very intelligent operation.

MR. SHOEMAKER: Who would that normally be distributed to, Mr. Walters?

MR. WALTERS: This goes worldwide: to every org. and mission in the world.

MR. SHOEMAKER: But would an individual member see that or —

MR. WALTERS: Oh, yes. This is how they know to stay away from him, do not talk to him. He will be treated very degradedly. And he will quickly want to do the conditions and praise Hubbard forever.

MR. LeCHER: Thank you.
