Memorandum: Scientology; IS – Miscellaneous (February 28, 1968)

[?] stated that the group was founded by L. RON HUBBARD who wrote a book on dynetics sometime ago and now resides in England. After his contact with [?] attended a banquet where two representatives of the group from Washington, D. C., [?] and [?] attempted to recruit him into the group. He has subsequently been contacted by mail by PEM WALL, Organizational Secretary for Eastern United States. He has subsequently been contacted by another man and woman and has been impressed by the fact that the group, which has membership in all levels of society, pays special attention to Government employees, employees of Government contractors, and military individuals. He based this on personal observations of the composition of the group at a banquet where only two out of approximately fifty in attendance, when introducing themselves gave occupations in other categories.
