Aquarius:
Here is the official epistle. See my summary letter of thanks to you
all, dated 13 July, bringing down the curtain on this act in the
tragedy.
But I hear the second act is a comedy--at least in the classical
sense. That would make a new art form, wouldn't it?
You will also find my signed release.
Godspeed.

SEA ORGANIZATION
FLAG CONDITIONS ORDER 12212-2 28 June 1996
LIMITED DISTRIBUTION
THOSE CONCERNED
COMMITTEE OF EVIDENCE
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
JON RANDALL MCDONALD
FINDINGS:
JON RANDALL MCDONALD was declared a Suppressive Person by Flag
Conditions Order 12212. Following this, McDonald requested a
Committee of Evidence concerning his Suppressive Person Declare
pursuant to HCO Policy Letter of 23 December 1965RB, SUPPRESSIVE
ACTS, SUPPRESSION OF SCIENTOLOGY AND SCIENTOLOGISTS.
A Committee of Evidence was convened on 21 June 1996, as issued
in Flag Conditions Order 12212-1 of the same date. The Committee was
to look into the charges contained in the Suppressive Person Declare
and investigate evidence to be presented by the Interested Party
concerning these charges.
The Bill of Particulars was faxed to McDonald on 23 June 1996
along with a letter from the International Justice Chief informing
McDonald that he was being afforded the opportunity he had requested
to address the validity of the Suppressive Person Declare by
providing testimony and evidence to disprove the Suppressive Person
Declare that had been issued.
McDonald was further notified that, given the events and
allegations contained in the Declare Order as well as the location
of the witnesses, the Committee would convene in Los Angeles on June
26th at 8pm, and that McDonald was to appear before the Committee
with any documentation he would wish to present.
After requesting the Committee of Evidence, McDonald chose not
to appear before the Committee and did not present any evidence or
documentation for the Committee to examine in order to determine the
validity of his claims.
Instead of following the proper Church justice procedures as
laid out in HCO PL 7 Sept 63, COMMITTEES OF EVIDENCE, SCIENTOLOGY
JURISPRUDENCE, ADMINISTRATION OF, McDonald responded with three
written communications, all faxed in at 6pm on 26 June -- one dated
24 June 1996, which was an 11-page tirade of entheta and threats. In
the second, dated 25 June, McDonald queried his Declare Order. The
third, dated 25 June 1996, was a "Letter of Disconnection" to Church
officials, including the International Justice Chief.
Having reviewed all data available as well as McDonald's own
communications, the Committee finds the following:
1) McDonald failed to appear before the Committee to testify and
present evidence with regards to the charges as contained in his
Suppressive Person Declare. As covered in HCO PL 7 Sept 63,
COMMITTEES OF EVIDENCE, SCIENTOLOGY JURISPRUDENCE, ADMINISTRATION
OF, "Refusal or failure of an interested party to appear results in
a recommendation of the full penalty possible in the case for that
interested party." - LRH
2) McDonald did not contact the Committee to present evidence or
documentation showing that the charges in his Suppressive Person
Declare would be incorrect; instead, McDonald resorted to attacking
those that offered him this recourse. He did not request an
extension. He did not request to appear by phone. He did not request
assistance to accommodate his travel arrangements although such
assistance had previously been offered -- he simply refused to show
up or participate in any fashion in the Committee of Evidence he had
demanded be convened.
3) Despite his being reminded at the outset of this Committee of
Evidence of the provisions of HCO Policy Letter of 7 June 1965,
Issue II, ENTHETA LETTERS AND THE DEADFILE, HANDLING OF, McDonald
continued to send such letters into the Church. In accordance with
the above HCO policy letter, entheta letters are deadfi1ed and not
acted upon.
4) McDonald sent a "letter of disconnection" to the
International Justice Chief, thereby disconnecting from the Church
authority responsible for the procedure of McDonald's Committee of
Evidence. By this act, McDonald has placed himself outside the realm
of any recourse that the Church, through its constituted authority
(the International Justice Chief), can offer.
In spite of the above, the Committee reviewed the documentation
and evidence that was available to determine whether or not the
charges as contained in Flag Conditions Order 12212 were correct.
