Mr. J.F. Kennedy
President of the United States of America
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. President,
Twice within the past few weeks you have spoken publicly about the
advancing of the human spirit, once at a banquet here in Washington, and
again, to ex-prisoners of Castro, in Miami.
Therefore, I invite your personal attention to last Friday's raid, by U.S.
Marshals, on a legally constituted church organization, The Founding
Church of Scientology, at 1812 19th Street, N.W., Washington 9, D.C., in
violation of the United States Constitution.
The purpose was to seize an instrument used in our confessional, and
religious literature.
Mr. President, would you greet with equanimity, a loud interruption, by
public servants, sworn to uphold the Constitution, of your private
confessions to your priest? It happened here.
Please help to restore the Constitutional guarantee of religious freedom
by whatever means at your command.
Sincerely,
[signed] Rev. H. R. Angell
Rev. H.R. Angell
Director of Training
