Notes

Narconon Exposed: "FASE was established in 1981 with the explicit purpose to 'research the efficacy of and promote the works of L. Ron Hubbard in the solving of social problems; and to scientifically research and provide public information and education concerning the efficacy of other programs', according to incorporation papers filed with the Attorney General of California, in Sacramento. The papers were later amended to remove Hubbard's name."
