such inquiries to
.
the attention of my assistant, Dr. Robert Kuhn.
It will be his responsibility to coordinate such requests and bring
them to the attention of Mr. Rader, who, as General Consul, is the
logical one to make public statements on such matters. Mr. Rader
din a particularly outstanding and exemplary job in such capacity
over the past years, and I sincerely appreciate his vigorous
efforts on behalf of my father, myself, and all of the church in

1ease forward to Dr.
Kuhn any
articles appearing in your local newspapers, magazines, or accurate
reports of particularly offensive radio or television commentary.
This will give us the proper information for appropriate legal
action in the future, so that those who would seek to destroy this
Work by such nefarious schemes can finally bear the full responsi
bilities for their actions.
The followi0g statement is our official position.
It is not
required to be read publically, but portions of it will be used by
our mail department and over our WATS lines, and you may use what
ever portions you feel necessary at your discretion, though as men
tioned earlier, not directly to the media your?elves.
The so-called Ambassador Report has been published by a
handful of former students.
The original co-publisher
has already dropped out of the venture because it lacks
any merit. It is being published by its remaining assoc
iates for the sole purposes of making money for them
selves and harming the Work.
Ambassador Re p ort was mailed without request to
500
news
papers, magazines, television and radio stations around
the world and governmental agencies of one kind or
another (in addition to several thousand being mailed to
people who asked for itJ, in the hope of discrediting the
Work and its leaders.
Fortunately, responsible members
of the media, the government and the community at large
place no value on its contents and know that the material
is scurrilous, essentially untrue, distorted and exagger
ated.
The Work and all individuals connected with it are dis
paraged by the Report and will exercise their rights, as
did Paul his Roman citizenship, to the fullest extent of
the law, choosing their defendents, their actions, their
issues and their forums to redress the wrongs and to pun
ish the irresponsible who would attack God's Work.
Bobby Fischer, for example, has already asked Mr. Rader
to represent him and to make those responsible for pub
lishing material in his name, without his permission, and
for surreptitiously recording his conversation, pay for
their wrongs.
Our fiscal year-to-date shows a healthy and encouraging 10%
