                        Re: Yours of 9 May 1996

Dear Mr. Weiland:

I will not be coming to L.A. If your intention is in fact to meet
face to face, as you state in your letter, my home is open to you,
and we would be glad to show you some genuine Southern hospitality.
My wife is quite a cook! If you choose not to accept my
invitation...

When you write the declare, knowing that it is based solely on an
off-policy non-enturbulation order lorded over my head for eleven
months; knowing that my only crime has been to insist on standard
Scientology as written by LRH; knowing that the only line I have
used for doing so has been through the writing of standard and
factual reports; knowing that one cannot be disciplined for writing
a report; knowing that two Committees of Evidence did not find
reason to declare me; knowing that you declare a person who has made
important contributions to the expansion of Scientology for 25
years; knowing what destruction such a declare could ultimately
wreak on my wife and four wonderful children (all, like me,
dedicated Scientologists) who depend on me for their livelihood;
knowing (as IÕm sure you do) of my work on establishing Celebrity
magazine, on getting Mission Earth onto bestseller lists, on
promoting LRHÕs special properties, on helping Yvonne get Celebrity
Centre established, etc.--I wonder: Will your hand shake? Or will
you smile in satisfaction? Will you sleep better, knowing you have
removed some scourge from the face of the earth, or at least some
imagined enemy? Will you relish in damning my beautiful and bright
7-year-old daughter to the choice of: No Bridge or No Daddy? Will
you be happy to separate me from my three proud boys, each growing
bigger, smarter, and more able each day through their own dedication
to and understanding of LRHÕs invaluable tech? Will you feel you
have accomplished some grand mission in destroying a man who has
dedicated his own life, honour, and existence to doing all he can to
forward and uphold LRHÕs tech? Will you calmly and rationally be
able to justify condemning a being for all eternity because he has
used every line and means at his disposal to do all he can to keep
Scientology working, despite personal danger, and to bring to the
attention of the responsible terminals things that he perceives to
be egregious violations of LRHÕs tech? Is this what your purpose is?
Is this why you exist? Is this your agenda?

If so, Mr. Weiland, I send you the salute given to the gladiators.

I had hoped to learn that you would be investigating the felonies I
wrote up in my report, not contributing to them, but things, alas,
are just as they are.

So I feel that you should know that whatever happens to me, whether
I am falsely declared or not, I will never rest until the truth is
out and any who have contributed to the destruction or reduction or
seizure of Scientology have looked into the eyes of Justice and
found their reward. If that includes you, it is by your own hand and
the alliances you choose. If you elect to declare me, I guess the
gloves will be officially off then--again, by your own hand and the
alliances you choose.

My allegiance is to LRH. It always has been and always will be. And
my integrity and honour are intact.

I call your hand, Mr. Weiland.

Regards,




Jon Randall McDonald
