Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

Subject: Are confessional 'pre clear' files kept confidential?
Answered by: Greg Churilov
Asked By: FredricRice

FredricRice asked this question on 4/28/2000:

Does this mean that people's "pre clear" files are routinely looked through?

Dated 22 December 1972 a top priority Internal Security project was circulated:

"This is a top priority Internal Security project.

The information I want is to be obtained from ethics files, pc files [pre-clear files], personnel files and interviews.

It may be that you will only have to, for example, look into a personnel file. If, however, you exhaust the file check, an interview will have to be done. This action can be done by your MAA [Master at Arms].

All persons on your staff who have ever been employed by a government agency; this would include a person working as an informer to any of these groups, are to be reported to me. Also, include city government, such as police departments. Add a description of the particular post said person held, with the time and connections.

This is to be done quickly and quietly."

Greg Churilov declined to answer on 4/29/2000:

No reason was provided for declining this question.
