Contributions to those Churches and organizations located in the United States generally qualify for the charitable contribution deduction from United States federal income tax to the maximum extant permitted under the Internal -Revenue Code.

The Internal Revenue Service has agreed to disseminate the enclosed "Description of the Scientology Religion" to all tax treaty partners and all tax information exchange agreement partners. This document was prepared by the Church of Scientology and is included in the public record upon which the Service's determination on exemption was based.

This information is furnished under the previsions of an income tax treaty or a tax information exchange agreement. Its use or disclosure must be coverned by the previsions contained therein.

Sincerely.

[Signed by]
