2/3/97 To Whom It May Concern-. I am a graduate of Landmark Education's curriculum for Living, which includes the Forum at its introductory course. I completed the Forum in July of 1989 and I have remained active in the course work, through Landmark and various seminars and leadership programs since then and I am currently participating in a leadership training program called the "Team Management and Leadership Program" (TMLP). When I registered into the Forum, I was a special agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Houston Division. Also, I have a background of five and a half years of law enforcement as a Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff. I have been and remain very careful about the type of work and the organizations with whom I associate.. I have found that the educational curriculum of Landmark Education Corporation has assisted me in developing increased levels of personal and professional effectiveness as an investigator and public servant. I have in previous years recommended Landmark Corporate Training Curriculum to the FBI Academy at Quantico Va. I would not have done that if I did not believe that the work itself and it's practically were valuable and sound. I am currently pursuing a course as a fine artist which has been a childhood dream. Using Landmark's technology, among other things has allowed me to make a successful transition from law enforcement to my current vocation. I am able to highly recommend a career in law enforcement as a very honorable and satisfying one while remaining true to myself a fine artist. The use of Landmark's technology has made this type of flexibility more available to me in life. In conclusion, Landmark Education is not a cult. It presents non-linear education that is a powerful compliment to the traditional education that I have already received. To classify the organization as a cult is inaccurate and a mistake since one of the outcomes would be to make that technology unavailable for interested persons to use. Also, I am intelligent enough to be able to recognize a cult, which I am clear, would destroy my freedom of choice. Such has not been the case , nor is it so now. Thank you for your consideration.

WILLIAMS Chief of Police November 18,1996 Marsha Morton Center Manager, Los Angeles Center Landmark Education Corporation 5200 West Century Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90045 Dear Marsha. RICHARD J. RIORDAN Mayor PO. Box 30158 Los Angeles, Cald 90030 Telephone Rel # I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and those who work with you at the Los Angeles Center for bringing the programs of Landmark Education to all of us in the Los Angeles Area. Of course I personally would not hav e benefitted from these programs had it not been for the incredible commitment of Bonnie Brody. She is indeed the embodiment of Possibility. As you are aw are I am currenfly a Commanding Officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. Not only is this letter a thank you for your efforts, I also wanted to share with you the tremendous impact that the Forum and the other programs Landmark offers has had on my work place. So often police officers are viewed as uncaring or without emotion when in fact the exact opposite is true. Men and women become officers to contribute and make a difference. The problem is that over a period of time we find OUT humanity buried under. layers of cynicism. The technology of the Forum has helped uncover the human being in all of us. In an era of Community Policing it is critical that police officers remain in touch with their humanity and recognize it in others. When officers under my command return to work following their Forum they are energized and optimistic. They once again see what is possible and an entirely new conversation is entered into in the police station and the community we serve. Let me close by saying that what you are doing is making a very significant difference. The fact that you and Landmark have made the Forum available to Police Officers here in Los Angeles will enable the work to have an increasingly stronger impact on Los Angeles because of our outreach to the community. I have had the privilege to meet officers from others cities who are or have been involved in Landmark programs and I am left with the distinct impression that truly enormous progress is about to be made in our cities. In the almost thirty years I have been in the Police Service I have never before felt so optimistic about anything. Thanks again for helping to make this all possible. THOMAS R.

Since undergoing the Forum and the Advanced Forum in 1992, 1 have grown immeasurably as a husband, father, administrator and community advocate. The Landmark training has enabled me to take responsibility for problem situations which previously fostered only a sense of frustration. It has also brought me a sense of power over my life, as well as a heightened ability to communicate with others. I urge that you continue to share your message that no limits exit in a world where individuals create their own possibilities. Very truly yours, RONALD C.
