C. August 13, 1984 420 Washington Building 1435 G Street, N. W Washington, D. C. 20005 (202) 783-6490 Honorable Orrin G. Hatch Subcommittee on the Constitution Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate of the United States Russell Building Suite 135 United States Senate Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Chairman: The enclosed analysis of the record of the trial of Reverend Sun Myung Moon is submitted on behalf of the Unification Church of America in order to address various issues raised during the June 26, 1984, hearings of the Subcommittee concerning Religious Liberty in the United States. Recently, it has been suggested that Reverend Moon's testimony at your hearing "totally misstated what was involved in the prosecution." We believe that the enclosed memorandum presents a fair and objective description of what happened in Reverend Moon's prosecution, using quotations from seven thousand pages of trial transcripts. We appreciate this opportunity to contribute to consideration of an issue most important to the majority of Americans -- religious freedom under the U.S. Constitution. We also are thankful for the very helpful and thoughtful consideration extended by your staff. Sincerely, Edward F. Edward F. Canfield Canfield EFC:rlw CC: Dee Benson, Esq.
