DECLARATION OF GERALD ARMSTRONG

I, Gerald Armstrong, hereby declare:

1. At approximately 4:10 p.m. on Monday, October 21,

1985, I received a call at work from a man who identified himself

as Tim Leonard with the FBI in Boston. Mr. Leonard informed

me that someone had filed a complaint with the FBI accusing me

of a crime. On my insistence he acknowledged that Scientology

was involved in the matter. I agreed to be interviewed by

him today at 11:00 a.m.

2. I met today with Mr. Leonard who showed me his

FBI identification card. During the interview, Mr. Leonard

informed me that the charge he was investigating was

"impersonation of an FBI agent." He would not tell me who

had filed the complaint; however, he did inform me of the

following details:

A. The alleged incident occurred on Sunday, October

13, at 2:00 p.m. near the Massachusetts Bay

Transportation Authority (MBTA) Green Line Auditorium

stop in Boston.

 

B. My accuser was a "body router" for Scientology,

handing out cards for the organization's "free

personality test."

 

C. My accuser stated that he approached me to get me

to come in for a free personality test and I said

"I'm an FBI agent. I know all about your organization.

Ron is hiding out even from his own people. We're going

to wipe you out within two years."

 

D. My accuser returned to the Boston organization

and with the assistance of his seniors identified me

as the individual to whom he had "spoken."

 

E. My accuser stated that I was with another individual.

Mr. Leonard did not have a physical dscription of this

individual, and did not know if the individual was male

or female.

3. I have never impersonated, nor identified myself

as an FBI agent or any other government official or employee

at any time. I have never led anyone to believe by any act on

my part that I was an FBI agent or a government official or

employee.

4. On October 13, 1985, at 2:.00 p.m., I was at my

residence, writing. I did not travel anywhere all day.

5. I was not at the location described to me by Mr.

Leonard on October 13. In fact, I have never been to that

location in Boston, nor anywhere close to that location.

6. I have never talked to, since my arrival in Boston,

anyone whom I knew to be, or identified himself or herself as,

a Scientologist. Since coming to Boston I have never to my

knowledge been approached by a Scientology "body router."

7. The criminal complaint by the Scientology

organization is completely false. Any "evidence" is

"manufactured" pursuant to L. Ron Hubbard's policy attached

hereto as Exhibit [A], which states:

"If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone

or anything or any organization, always find or

manufacture enough threat against them to cause

them to sue for peace."

L. Ron Hubbard

HCOPL 8/15/60

 

8. This is not the first time Hubbard or Scientology

has sought to bring phony charges against me. They attempted the

same using the Los Angeles Police Department in 1983 during the

pendency of my civil lawsuit in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

I declare under the penalty of perjury under the laws of the

State of California that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed this 23rd day of October, 1985 at Boston,

Massachusetts.
