If the event seemed important enough to include, yet no exact day--or, in some cases, no month--was given, the indication "c." (for circa) has been put AFTER the information (day or month) in question. As an example, an event known to have occurred in June of 1974, but without certainty as to the actual day, might be listed as "Saturday, 1 c. June 1974." If only a month and year are known (as in the example just given), and there is no indication of, e.g., "late June," then the event has usually been assigned arbitrarily to the 1st or the 15th of the indicated month, unless surrounding events indicate a different, more likely day of the month. The weekday names (e.g. Monday, Tuesday, etc.) have been included as additional data. If the only indication of the time of the event was "mid-1974," then the entry might read "Saturday, 1 c. June c. 1974, indicating that the month, too, is estimated from the language of the referenced source. Only rarely have incidents been included where the only information available is a givien year. When it seemed important enough to include in the Time Line, it was put, usually, at 1 c. January c. of the given year, or at 1 c. July c. of the given year, whichever seemed most likely--mainly as a "bookmark" for the event, pending more exact dating. Every effort has been made to isolate, as closely as possible, the exact date for each event. If anyone has any more accurate information about any event described herein, please post it to the newsgroup, "alt.religion.scientology." ====================== 1978 ====================== Sunday, 01 c.

"The 'attack and destroy' campaign carried out by the Church of Scientology's 'Guardian's Office' to silence critics has involved illegal surveillance, burglaries, forgeries and many forms of harassment, according to sources close to an intensive federal investigation of the Scientologists' activities. "Sources said the 'covert operations' [were] documented in the Scientologists' own internal memoranda and directives, which were seized by the FBI under court subpoena last July... . "Asked last night about these alleged operations, Gregory Layton, a spokesman for the Church of Scientology, said the government evidence is a compilation of "false reports" put out by the government as part of '20 years of harassment.' Layton said the church has extensive documentation to refute the existence of the incidents described in this story. "Layton accused the key federal prosecutor in the Scientology investigation, Raymond Banoun of disseminating false information in retaliation for a demonstration yesterday by Scientologists against Banoun that was staged in front of the Justice Department.... "The Scientologists have contended in court documents, in press releases and in interviews that they are the victims of extensive harassment by the federal government, which is attempting to suppress their religion. "They have filed complaints against federal investigators working on the case, repeatedly accused the FBI of 'Gestapo' tactics in carrying out raids, and sued virtually every federal official they have identified as being involved with the case. "The Scientologists' broadcast suit pending in federal court here accuses numerous government agencies of conducting a 20-year campaign to infiltrate and harass the religious group in violation of the First Amendment. They say the current federal investigation into alleged illegal break-ins and buggings by the Scientologists is only the latest and most visible act by the government against them. "...FBI agents seized truckloads of Scientology documents in simultaneous raids on church headquarters here and in Los Angeles last July 8. "...The church immediately began a legal assault on the warrant's validity here and in Los Angeles that immediately prevented prosecutors and FBI officials from using the documents in their investigation. U.S. District Chief Judge William B. Bryant ruled that the warrant was too broad and the search was therefore illegal. He was reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals, and that appellate ruling was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. ..."

Edward M. Kennedy, other congressmen, Jacqueline Onassis, the Better Business Bureau and the American Medical Association, according to Scientology documents in the possession of federal investigators. "...Federal investigators studying the thousands of pages of seized Scientology papers also have found secret CIA documents, "apparently original" Internal Revenue Service documents, and confidential letters between presidential Cabinet members including one letter that apparently was drafted but never sent.

Robinson, Washington Post Staff Writers: "The church of Scientology held an unusual press reception yesterday to introduce two of its top officials who the church says will be indicted for alleged crimes against the government. "...[C]hurch lawyer Philip J. Hirschkop told assembled reporters that the predicted indictments are part of a government effort 'to break the back' of the church. "Hirschkop said that a total of 12 church members - including Mary Sue Hubbard, wife of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard - have been formally notified that they are under grand jury investigation here for alleged crimes, including burglary, obstruction of justice, theft of government property, wiretapping, harboring a fugitive and conspiracy. "'We expect...[the indictments] the second week of August,' Hirschkop said. He added that the government has told him at least six church officials will be indicted. "...The church has filed 26 Freedom of Information Act suits against U.S. government agencies, church officials said, and some of the agencies claimed they had no information on the church when in fact they did. The government has had 'massive files with massive false reports on the church,' Heldt said. "Scientology has filed a multimillion dollar suit against the government, alleging a campaign of harrassment that has spanned decades, and Hirschkop asserted yesterday that the government's intent in the indictments is to destroy the chruch's litigation against the government, 'which would destroy the church.' ..."
