NOTE: […] We have not investigated the association named in this letter but Buļ¬les contain voluminous data regarding it and its founder L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard is allegedly suffering from an ailment known as paranoid schizophrenia. He has corresponded with this Bureau on several occasions and we have been most circumspect in our dealings with him. His association allegedly has discovered dianetics, a means of treating psychosomatic ills, which Hubbard described as a discovery comparable to man’s discovery of fire. (62-94080)
