California Senator Recommends Narconon

California Legislature

Dennis E. Carpenter
Senator, 36th District

April 29, 1975

To Whom It May Concern:

I understand that the Swedish authorities are currently interested in looking into the effectiveness of the L. Ron Hubbard Technology used in the Narconon program.

The work of Narconon first came to my attention here in California in 1974. It was my privilege to coauthor a Joint Rules Committee Resolution on behalf of that organization for their fine work here in California in the reduction of crime related to drug/alcohol abuse in our State.

It was my impression that their most outstanding work involved those young people who have been committed to the California Youth Authority because of alcohol or drug related problems. Their record of accomplishments in these areas are very impressive and everyone to whom I spoke regarding their activities gave them very high marks with regard to their success in these areas.

Due to the striking increases in alcohol and drug related problems in California, in the United States and, indeed, the rest of the world, the activities of an organization like Narconon are now of the upmost value to all people who somehow become involved in these areas.

If you desire any additional information relative to Narconon or its activities I hope that you will not hesitate to contact me.
