On August 13, 1962, in between lectures at Saint Hill, Hubbard again offered Scientology to the American government. He wrote to President Kennedy.
On May 25, 1961, President Kennedy, in a momentous speech before the United States Congress, urged America to put a man on the moon before the decade was out. It took Hubbard a little while to jump on the bandwagon.
Hubbard offered his mental "technology" to the President to assist in the Space Program. He repeated his usual tale about Russian interest in his work, saying he had been offered Pavlov's laboratory in 1938. He said Scientology "conditioning" would increase the IQ and "body skills" of astronauts, and that "the perception of a pilot or Astronaut can be increased far beyond normal human range and stamina and be brought to an astonishing level, not hitherto attainable in a human being."
Hubbard did not receive a reply from the President.

HCO Information Letter of October 27, 1962 RON'S JOURNAL
In the U.S., on the heels of my informing the White House we could help them with their fight against Communism, the Food and Drug Administration came into every large U.S. Org in a space of 48 hours (DC, NY and LA) demanding evidence about the E-Meter. Evidently they are trying to confiscate all E-Meters in the U.S. This seems most peculiar that they'd want out of existence a machine that detects Communists while they pretend to be mad about them.
Another piece of good news is the Washington Tax Status. The organization is undoubtedly going to get its Federal non-profit status after a seven years fight.
