Byron Boeckman
Deputy City Attorney
1800 City Hall East
200 North Main Street
Los Angeles, California 90012

Dear Mr. Boeckman:

    As we discussed this morning, please find enclosed a copy
of the Motion for Protective and Discovery Orders just filed by
Attorneys for L. Ron Hubbard in Federal Court in Boston in the
case of Michael Flynn v. Hubbard. On page 18 are the statements
I read to you concerning the Los Angeles Police Department and
other agencies.

    This letter is a formal request under the California Public
Records Act for any and all documents relating to the allegations
made by Hubbard's attorneys at P. 18, Para. 2, of the enclosed
Motion, and for any and all documents relating to Gerald David
Armstrong or the videotaping of myself in or about November, 1984,
and any subsequent investigations by the LAPD or any other agency
or office of the City of Los Angeles.

    This letter is also a request for a statement from the City
or the LAPD regarding the specific charge that IRS CID agents
"threatened Los Angeles Police Chief Darrel (sic) Gates, with
dire consequences for the Los Angeles Police Department having
authorized the video-taping of Armstrong's meeting with a Church
contact." Commander Booth of the LAPD made the comment that it
was "a bunch of crap," but I would appreciate something more
formal than that.

    This whole matter is very serious to me. Scientology and
its hired "private investigators" and attorneys have put before
courts around the United States and given to the media and public
agencies a perverse and libelous account of the videotaping,

which was itself illegal. I have already been assaulted, run
into, and an attempt was made to involve me in a highway accident,
all by private investigators hired by Hubbard or Scientology.
I feel my life now, more than at any time in the history of my
litigation with Scientology is seriously at risk.

    I am requesting your help to get the facts out in the open,
so that this part of the conflict can be resolved as speedily as
possible.

    If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me.

    Thank you for your anticipated assistance.

Very truly yours,

Gerald Armstrong
