On a t l e a s t two occas i ons around 1978 to 1980. I happened tof ind myself in conver sa t i on with S ir John Fos te r . In the courseo f a gene ra l d iscus s ion , I mentioned to him t h a t I ha d a p ~ e a r e d on a publ ic p la t form a t a meet ing organi sed by th e Scien to log i s t sand as a r e s u l t had been reproached by s e v e r a l people inc ludingmy then pub l i she r . At t h a t t ime I had no knowledge of theS c i en t o l o g i s t s bu t a f t e r enqu i r i ng o f a number of my con tac t sin publ ic l i f e as to the bas i s of t hese rep roaches I sa id I hadcome to the conc l us i on t h a t it wa s a l l unfounded goss i p roo tedin ignorance , pr e jud ice , s p i t e and malice in roughly equa lpr opor t ions . I sa id I had been glad to d i scover t h a t , thoughcouched in much more d i p l omat i c - language, he had come to th econc l us i on t h a t t he re was r ea l l y nothing of subs tance in thevar i ous a l l eg a t i o n s which ha d been made aga ins t the S c i e n t o l g i s t s .I asked whether I had the s to r y r i g h t from h i s po in t of viewand as nea r ly as I can remember a f t e r a l l t hese yea r s , he sa idt h a t " i t was a lo t of r igged nonsense f u l l of l i e s andseemed to invo lve p a t h o l o g i c a l per sona l d i s l i k e s of s c i e n t o l ogy on th e p a r t of some of the people involved" The only reasonI remember t h i s conve r sa t ion so w e l l i s t h a t I went on to sayt h a t it was a p i t y t h a t a l l government depar tment r epo r t s d idnot use th e t e rmino logy t h a t he sa id he might have done andhe responded by giv ing me some very en te r ta in ing ver s i ons o fsome of the t h ings cu r r en t a t t h a t t ime and how they wouldhave sounded with the f o r t h r i g h t approach.

PRIME MINISTER

You bave a constituency interested in SCientology.The banis to be dtscussed in H. This joint paper from

Messrs. Whitelaw and Jenkin i s inconclusive. Despite thearguments against scientology, the Home Secretary does notwish to us e inunigration regulations as the vehicle singlingout this rel igious group for a ban. Mr. Jenkin considersthat any move to l i f t the ban would, on balance, be dis -a d v a n ~ a g e . o u s . Both recognise that the ba n appliedexclusively to sCientologists i s probably inequitable giventhe growth of other equally disturbing fringe rel igions.

I see l i t t l e prospect of th i s indecisive paper leadingto a decision to l i f t the ban. If you favour tha t move, i t

- Zmight be worth my writing around the members of the Committee !- I"JJI j" de t H ~ ~ t : ; ' ! o put your views on the record.
