The Fishman Papers
The case file for Church of Scientology International v. Fishman and
Geertz contains over 700 documents. This web page presents a
declaration filed by Steven Fishman on April 9, 1993 in which he included
the OT (Operating Thetan) materials as exhibits. Links to a few other
interesting affidavits are given at the end of the page.

Declaration and Exhibits
OT (Operating Thetan) Materials
The following portions of the court record have been voluntarily removed
pending an assessment by Carnegie Mellon's legal counsel of the Church's
claims of copyright and trade secret protection. However, copies of the
complete Fishman declaration are still available online at several other sites.
Note: the Church claims the OT VIII documents
are forgeries.
