                  January 
                    27, 1996: Mr. Minton wrote a letter to President 
                    Clinton and New Hampshire Senators Robert 
                    Smith and Judd 
                    Gregg. It was a heartfelt plea to his senators to do something 
                    about the abuse of the legal system that Scientology was perpetrating 
                    on its critics. The homes of two critics (Arnie 
                    Lerma and Dennis 
                    Erlich) had just been raided after Scientology had obtained 
                    writs of seizure under false pretenses. Mr. Minton had learned 
                    of the abuse on the Internet.  
                  Senator 
                    Gregg responded on February 12 as did Senator 
                    Smith on February 28.
