letter of Dec. 22, 1992,

is no evidence that he has

done anything other than that

regarding the Good, Cantin &

Roberts matters. Judge Wayne

ruled in discharging

Scientology's contempts

against Armstrong that

regarding the Aznaran

litigation, where Scientology

also claimed Armstrong

assisted the plaintiffs:

"no where is it
suggested that any
of those
conversations were
for the purpose of
"assisting" in their
claims. And, it
appears that any
such conversation
could have been
associated with his
ministerial duties
as a paralegal in
the office of his
employer. It should
be noted that the
Order specifically
permits Respondent
to engage in such
employment and does
not "wall" him off
from all such
litigation."

Armstrong's letter of December

22, 1992 is not a demand, but

an effort to resolve his own

litigation and the threat of

"fair game", and to bring

peace to Scientology as well
