Scientology Lies

Michael Meisner goes to Los Angeles for auditing and briefing regarding his Guardian Office assignments. While there, he has numerous meetings with his immediate superiors, as well as other officials of the Guardian's Office. During the first week of February, Mr. Meisner attends a meeting with Henning Heldt and Richard Weigand in Heldt's office on the sixth floor of Fifield Manor. Also present are the Deputy Guardian for Finance Mary Heldt, the Deputy Guardian for the Legal Bureau Mary Rezzonico, and the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) US Martin Greenberg, an official in the Finance Bureau. At Heldt's request, Weigand tells Meisner to attend the meeting. Its purpose is to discuss and analyze the current IRS strategy as revealed in the stolen documents regarding the pending Church of Scientology of California audit. Each person present at the meeting expresses full knowledge that the documents in question had been stolen from the IRS offices. That same day, Meisner attends another meeting with Mary Rezzonico and Gregory Willardson in Weigand's office. Rezzonico directs Meisner to instruct Scientology's covert agents in the District of Columbia to be alert to any IRS documents regarding a Scientology front organization known as the Religious Research foundation (RRF). She also seeks any information disclosing knowledge by the IRS of any financial dealings and relationship between RRF and the Church of Scientology of California. While in LA, Meisner also meets with the Weigand and Willardson in Weigand's office at the Fifield Manor to discuss the Information Bureau's access to current documents in the possession of the IRS. The participants discuss a telex which had been received from the CSG Assistant for Information, Jimmy Mulligan, regarding the access to current information in the office of Mr. Lewis Hubbard of the IRS. Weigand instructs Meisner to prepare a report outlining what he had done in that respect and to respond to Mulligan's telex. As a result of that directive, Meisner prepares a response, including a telex in Weigand's name responding to Mulligan's inquiry. Meisner gives that telex directly to the Weigand, who approves it in his presence and orders it sent to Mulligan in Florida. [Beginning of Feb 1976; exact date unknown]
