AFFIDAVIT OF EDWARD WALTERS 
 
 I, Edward Walters, hereby depose and state under 
 
 1. I have personal knowledge of the facts  sworn 
 to herein and if called  as a  witness to testify thereto 
could do so of my own personal knowledge. 
 
2 .  I was  a  member of the Church  of  Scientology 
for approximately nine (9) years from 1970  through  March 
of 1979. 
 
3. My  position in the Churchf,of Scientology was 
that of Case Supervisor, 
b','  
 a Class VI Auditor and I was 
a 
generally considered one of the highest "tech" people, 
- . - . . - - . . . . __ ._. - -. . - _ 1. . . ._ . ...-. . . .-.----. .- ---. 
knowledgeable about Scientology policy in the U.S., '  
 I was also directly responsible for the handling of pre-clear folders. \  
 ..  
4 .  While a member of the Church of Scientology, 
I had frequent contact with Susan Reed, the Assistant 
Guardian, Matty  Reese,  the Assistant Guardian Public 
. Relations Officer, and Chuck Reese, Assistant Guardian 
ofIntelligence. Susan Reed often told me to be aware 
of "evil" and "suppressiven groups and organizations 
which were out to stop Scientology. She said "evil groups  

were  as I remember, the United States Government, the 
American Medical Association, the Better Business Bureau,  
 M 
doctors,lawyers,  and  police agencies of any kind. She 
stated that the Guardian's Office was responsible for 
J-&&.:3 2;'1pJ& J t Fi&s rgair;s L: L,i~~~~ulo~lJ bz 237  ‘mai  available including electronic surveillance, infiltration,  
burglary  and theft. The above named Guardian's Office 
personnel would tell me of the "wins" that they would have 
in their covert operations to stop or destroy those groups 
or individuals whom they considered to be suppressive. At 
this time Susan Reed introduced me to a fellow in  her off ice and who told me his name was Randy. Randy said he 
was'an intelligence agent working directly under Mary Sue

 He also stated that there was a need to do away with "suppressives"  
 .  
 and groups attacking Scientology in whatever i 
waynecessary, including burglary, larceny, and "framing". 
 
Iid  informed rns has; &A= Suardian'F Office fechnology worked. 
For instance, he said that the Guardian's Office would 
Flant dope on some "SP", then call the police and have the 
fellowarrested. The Guardian's Office would circulate  
 .  
 word  of  the fellow's arrest and whatever the fellow said 
about Scientology would not be believed. It was in this

 way that they framed some  of  the SP's. He then told me 
that if Susan Reed wanted me to contact him that I should 
call the Los Angeles Guardian's Office and ask fol either 
"Randy", "Bruce", "Raymond" or "Bruce Raymond". He then.

was to anyone and that grave consequences could result to 
me if I divulged any of this.  
 5. On several occasions I overheard phone  convers ations between the above named.individuals and people 
in the Unlteci States Guardian's Office in Los Angeles with 
respect to illegal acts and covert operations requested 
to be done by the United States Guardian's Office in Los 
Angeles.

and reports to the United States Guardian's Office in Los

 Angeles. The United States Guardian's Office in Los 1 
Angeles is operated by the Church of Scientology  of  Cali-Hubbard. I also know that there is a direct telex connection bztvccn the United States Guardian's Office and 
the Clearwater headquarters of the Church of Scientology 
and that this telex connection is used by the United 
States Guardian's Office to consult with Mary Sue and  

 L. Ron Hubbard, of Clearwater, Florida. The United

7.  I know from  my  experience and observation 
that the Guardian's Office has systematically, through 
the years, used "pre-clear" data as a tool against  a  pr~-rl~ar who would threaten to go to authorities or 
see a lawyer to sue  or  get his money back. I observed 
Matty and Chuck Reese  of  the Las Vegas Guardian's Office 
do this for many years and at times, the had told me how 
"we stopped" or "we showed that lawyer what a client he 
resllv has and he backed off riqht away", etc. -.

Vegas Guardian's Office came to see me and asked me to 
go through my PC files and to provide him with any information which ha3 been r7lsclossd jn ?lrdi.ting sessions 
which I thought would be helpful to control the person 
and would be "helpful to his cause". hhen I disagreed 
with these "gestapo type tatics" he told me that these 
orders came "directly-from Los Angeles" or "this comes 
directly from Clearwater", and that if I didn't comply, 
it would be "treason".

 9. On a number of occa:;ions I had been requested 
by individuals in Clearwater, Florida to forward pre-clear folders to them or people who were undertaking 
auditing. In accordance with these requests I have sent

 K!Kber of the f.~..e Vegas Org through-La Venda Van Schaick was a member of 
the Church of Scientology'in Las Vegas. I have personal 
knowledge of the solicitation techniques used on new

was a law-&iJiiig organization thzt cpcrzted only on 
scientific principles based on scientific validation of 
thousands of case studies over a period of 30 years by 
L. Ron Hubbard, a nuclear physicist, a combat veteran,

 who healed war wounds with Diar.etics. The scientific 
basis of Scientology, per policy, was held out to be  
 --more scientific than physics, etc. The representations

publications such  as  "Dianetics, The Modern Science of 
Mental Health*'. I was trained and others in the Org, 
called "body-routers" and "rcg!rtrars" were trained to 
tell people that Scientology was a "science", not a 
"religion" and that "Religion" was only used to deal 
with the Government, taxes etc.

 "Church policy" not to inject "religion" into the-fore-goingrepresentations. It ttas common knowledge to everyone in Scicntology that I dealt with between 1971-1979 
in Las Vegas including Barbara Glass and Robert Harvey,

and (3)  that  elaborate plans were used to create the imprcssiCi1 with ths Go-Jtrnment that. Scientology was a religion 
pursuant to a policy called "The Minister's Mock-Up", based 
on the "religious image check sheet". This policy required someone in the Church to wear a "minister's costume" 
whenever the Church dealt with the Government. Between

 once when someone from the D.A.'s office came to the Org, 
once when a newspaper reporter came to the  Org,  and once 
when a magazine was preparing an article.

reilgiobs  PfuIlt iur i;,r: &~i Ls, C.2 SW Jcr.XT&::L, l.CiWy'krS, 
accountants,etc. In fact, the very effort presently made  
 by Scientology lawyers irl the Cotirts throughout the U.S. 
is based on Hubbard "tech" to present Scientology as a 
"religion". This is 180' opposite to what in reality  
 hap;?ens in the Org when Scientology is being "sold". If  

 we tried to sell Scientology as a "religion" on the  
 street or to members for more courses,, we would have 
w 
been lauihed out of town, and wouldn't have received 
anickel. There is no religious context to the sale 
of Scientology courses and books. After the F.D.A 
decision in the early 1970's, we were told to start 
putting "stickers" in the books which had something 
to do with a "religious disclaimer". However, it 
- was Church policy to tei!, everyvue Lhat the "stickers"  
 , I . 
were just for the Government and didn't change anything. 
Scientology "tech" was an exact science, to be sold as 
such and not as a "religion".

 U.S. primarily through the Guardian's Office. All 
directors of the corporations must resign in advance,  
 .  
 and all policies issued by California must be rigorously " 
adhered to, including but not limited to the policy of 
using religion as a front, but soliciting people anti 
money based on th e scientific basis and principles of 
the organization.  
 14. The Church of Scientology has a  very  specific   deceptive policy of obtaining signatures on various 
forms, waivers, releases, etc. Often these forms are

 signed just before or after auditing sessions, and the
