Telegram on an investigation and visa status of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh
-
Description
-
A telegram from a branch of the United States Department of State to criminal investigator Thomas M. Casey regarding the Rajneesh organization. The telegram reports on the status of an ongoing investigation into its leader, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. It states that the Rajneeshee Ashram failed to meet previously set goals that allowed tax exemption. Another report included in the telegram discusses how followers were asked to pay a high initiation fee. Other notes suggest that Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh may have fabricated medical problems, committing fraud in order to obtain a visa. The Department of State recommends that the Ashram be reported to the IRS and Rajneesh provide proof of medical treatment in the United States to justify his need for a visa. This item was a part of the papers of Bob Oliver, Governor Atiyeh's legal counsel.
