Mr. Clark Carr
President Narconon International

May 19, 1999

Dear Clark,

Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to discuss and educate Barbara and I about the Narconon program.

You answered our diverse, and sometimes blunt questions patiently and thoroughly.

I must admit, that initially, I was somewhat skeptical about a program that promises to deliver a 75-80% success rate in drug rehabilitation. In my long experience in public office I have often heard about such high statistics. Unfortunately, the reality has not always matched the promise. However, I am most satisfied by the successes that the Narconon program has achieved.

I was most impressed by Narconon, and especially so by the experiences I had in Ensenada as I am familiar with correctional services. The first thing that struck me was walking into a prison unescorted by guards. I cannot ever remember doing this in a prison.

Spending time with the inmates was a further demonstration of the success of the program as they appeared healthy, alert and were articulating their prospects for a positive future free of crime and drugs.

Once again I thank you for your hospitality, presentations and availability to demonstrate the Narconon program.

Yours sincerely

Eddie Micallef MLA
