The question was raised whether the Pasadena
Police Department should get involved in
patrolling the grounds as part of the court
action to protect the church records. It is a
moot question, the directors agreed, since such
action has not been requested.
City Manager Donald McIntyre said later that
plain clothesmen were on the site as a safety
measure.

ONETIME OPTION TO RE-ENTER THE U.S. SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Any ordained ministers who are U.S. citizens serving either inside
or outside the U.S. who have previously filed a social security
exemption form may elect to re-enter the social security system by
revoking that exemption prior to April 16, 1979. We are not
recommending such action, merely bringing the� possibility to your
attention. If you wish more information contact Ministerial Services.
--Ted Herlofson, Ministerial Services
STRONG MAIL RESPONSE IN JANUARY
In spite of the recent difficulties imposed on the Work, mail
received during January was the highest we've gotten in two years!
The following is a quick recap:
January 1977
Januray 1978
January 1979
153,112 letters
154,915 letters
165,794 letters
The reason for this large influx of mail, of course, is mainly due
to the fact that we initiated a lot of mailings to our subscribers in
December and early January. A good portion of these responses were
to PLAIN TRUTH renewal letters and a semi-annual letter from Mr.
Armstrong. Because our mailings have been curtailed during January,
however, we do not anticipate a high volume of mail during February.
Outpouring of Support for Mr. Armstrong Since about the middle of
January, the vast majority of all member mail coming through MPC has
mentioned the current legal situation. At this point, about 3,000
letters have been tabulated by our Comments Section -- and the number
of letters continues to climb fast as more and more members write in.
Virtually ALL letters are� supportive of Mr. Armstrong.
Most of the letters we have seen fall into one or more of the following
comment sununaries:
1. Praying for Mr. Armstrong and Mr. Rader.
2. Standing behind Mr. Armstrong 100%.
3. Encouragement to Mr. Armstrong to be strong. God will give
the victory.
4. Use God's money to preach the gospel.
5. The writers know that Mr. Armstrong is God's Apostle.
