Q. And just so we don't have any misunderstanding, when we refer
to OSA through this deposition, are we referring to the Office of
Special Affairs of the Church of Scientology Intemational?
A. We are referring to the Office of Special Affairs, Church of
Scientology Intemational, which is formerly known as the
Guardian's Office which the church and their public relations has
said no longer exists.
Going back to the first letter from Rick Ross. Evidently someone
at that conference had taken a copy of my press release and sent
it to Rick Ross, and this is a response from Rick Ross basically
threatening legal action against me for comments I made in the
letter and explaining that some of the infommation I had was not
correct. And he sent me Page 2, which is an order from the
Superior Court of Washington whereby charges against Mr. Ross had
been dismissed without prejudice and I spoke to at that time I
believe it was Aaron Mason at Bowles & Moxon about the document.
And he told me that Rick Ross was kind of skirting the issue in
his letter because when something is dismissed without prejudice
it means that it can be refiled again. And that David Butterworth
was working on Jason Scott to constantly hammer at the district
attorney in the Bellevue, Washington area to get him to reinstate
charges against Rick Ross.
Q. Jason Scott is referred to as a cc on the last page of
Exhibit-72, correct, above your name?
A. I don't see that.
Q. The last page of Exhibit-72. The next page.
A. That's correct.
Q. And did you substantially apply --
A. This wasn't a cc to them. In the body of the press release,
if you notice on Page 5 it says for more information on
deprogramming you can contact these individuals, and he is listed
as one of these individuals.
Q. You just mentioned Aaron Mason at Bowles & Moxon. Does Jason
Scott have a connection with Bowles & Moxon?
A. I don't know that. I can't speak

Description of "Terminal" - Person in Chain of Command To Whom
One Reports.
=================================================================
Q. What did you mean by the word sterminal'?
A. A terminal is the person that each person is responsible to
answering to as far as getting direct -- getting directives from
passing on information. It is a line of communication. Each
person has a terminal that they pass information to and any time
they have a report to make they pass it to that specific
individual who passes it on to another terminal and it goes up
like a chain of command.
David Butterworth was a person that I was responsible to for
passing on information. Many times when I thought it was okay to
pass information on to Gwen Mayfield I found out otherwise
because I was chastised for doing so. And it was made very clear
to me that my time I had any type of intelligence information
that I was to pass this on directly to David Butterworth. And a
system had been set up with both David Butter vorth and Eugene
Ingram that any phone calls that I made were reimbursed by Bowles
& Moxon through Eugene. Therefore, I was constantly in contact
with the Office of Special Affairs, and if you were to look at my
phone records over the last year, you would see that I had almost
daily contact with Mr. Butterworth at the OAS in Los Angeles.
BY MR. BERRY:
Q. Mr. Butterworth you said was your terminal?
A. That's correct.
Q. He was above you on the command line then, is that right?
A. That's correct.

Q. 78.
A. Yes, that is my signature.
Q. And this is a letter that you mailed yourself to the 500
people that you just spoke about, correct?
A. This is a letter which was created by myself in addition to
Mr. Butterworth and Ms. Mayfield which was sent, yes.
Q. Did you have discussions with David Butterworth and Gwen
Mayfield regarding the creation and finalization of this letter?
A. Yes. Like I said before, I was not allowed to mail this
letter out until I had the final approval of David Butterworth.
Q. Whose idea was it, if I may use that word, to send this
letter in the first place?
A. David Butterworth.
Q. How do you know that?
A. Because David Butterworth instructed me that with everything
