During this approximate tit Rajneesh awarded himself the title "Bhagwan", meaning an unprecedented act in a country populated by gurus or "God-Men". Inasmuch as Rajneesh prided himself from youth on his ability to shock those around him, this and similar pronouncements earned him distinct unpopularity in his own country. Rajneesh early on sensed that the seeking youth of the west offered him more remuneration than traditional avenues, and with the arrival of westerners acquainted with "Esalen-type” group therapies, constructed a synthesis of Hindu philosophies and values and these largely experimental "therapies". The result was to draw large numbers of young, disaffected westerners, many (su of them educated white collar workers, to his "Ashram" at Poona. Rajneesh, under the urging of Laxmi, sought to gather — disciples under the name of, pico-sanniasings Sraditionally, the {__ term Jannyasin" in India nant an ascertic individual who had Tivh give up all worldly things in search of higher spiritual values. [> Rajneesh amended this and stated that all things should be enjoyed. His Sannyasins are enjoined to surrender totally to him, accept a new name, wear his photograph on a "Mala" or necklace at all times, wear only orange, and use one of his meditations for one hour a day, (AU Rajneesh drew his disciples from western Europe and the United states (U.S.) prior to his moving his operation to the U.S. in June, 1981. His lectures were attended by as high as 2,000 to 3,000 a day. The transcribed ‘lectures are claimed to have been published in some 365 books. He claims to have offered some 60 varieties of "therapies" at Poona, some of which were notable for their lack of controls and violence. There have been reliable reports of broken bones, rapes, and suicides associated with these. After the Jonestown massacre, the Rajneesh Foundation claimed to have moderated these activities, but it does not appear that that, in fact, occurred. Numerous reports exist of Poona "therapies" precipitating mental commitments. SEX The Poona Ashram, attracting as it did, numerous "lost" westerners, hosted and aggravated further difficulties. Drug use was common, and smuggling of drugs both into and out of India apparently was done, with some indications that the foundation aided and abetted it. Prostitution was similarly promoted at least tacitly as a means of raising revenue for the Ashram. Immigration overstays were endemic and fraud marriages to common- wealth citizens for immigration purposes very common. Ashram suicides were allegedly concealed, and there is some indication that one and possibly two murders occurred there. Similar allega- tions exist of Ashram attempts at bribery, intimidation, extortion, and the staging of we incidents. Most of these allegations have been corroborated. fern [ Jy,a 3 - sicrer - RAJNEESH CHANDRA MOHAN BEAGWAN; Yw RAJNEESH FOUNDATION, INTERNATION: Through the conversion of the Ashram into a literal workshop operating on free labor and the enthusiastic solitication of funds, the Rajn; Foundation has amassed a substantial In early 1981, the foundation apparently made a decision to seek greener pastures. The Indian governnent, hostile to Rajneesh, had begun efforts to revoke the Rajneesh Foundation's tax exempt status, the Ashram had outgrown its space, and it is believed thatthe U.S. with its first (/ amendment protections and tax laws offered more promise. ec} It_is thought that Rajneesh's health problems, real or imagined, offered what appeared to be an opportunity for him to gain entry into the U.S. Once in the U.S., the foundation then petitioned for him as a third preference religious teacher in spite of the fact that over the years Rajneesh had harshly condemned all religions. Similarly, hundreds of his Sannyasins, once in the U.S., married to remain here in spit Rajneesh's invectives against the institution of marriage. CH The same basic patterns of activity that characterized the Rajneesh Foundation's activities in India appear to be manifesting themselves in the U.S., and, indeed, many of the same key members are active in the U.S. There have, however, been significant defections from the organization in the past year. Qa In researching the statements of Rajneesh, a case can be made that Rajneesh is attempting to experiment with suitably pliant persons in an attempt to develop what he calls the superconscious man, and that he is seeking an environment he can totally control to carry out these experiments. He has said as much himself, and there is no reason to disbelieve him. Authorities in the field have characterized the Rajneesh Foundation as a "destructive cult", and stress that it has the potential for self-destruction in the Jonestown fashion. It is significant that one of the first structures planned at "Rajneeshpuram" was a crematorium, and that the Rajneesh himself apparently has a fascina- tion with death. At least four prominent disciples faye indicated that they would kill themselves or others for him. NU . wf “heyueRAJNEESH CHANDRA MOHAN BHAWAN; Que In the summer of 1981, RFI purchased a 64,000 acre ranch in Central Oregon for six million dollars. Thus far, they have invested about $40 million into the construction of their new Rajneeshpuram city or commune and continue to invest about one million dollars per month. The various barriers that stood in the way of their development were slowly torn down by their cadre of Sannyasin attorneys who work for nothing. The sleepy village of Antelope, Oregon, resisted but eventually crumbled. Of the 26 original dwellings, 13 have sold and six are for sale. Since the November elections, the mayor and city council of Antelope are all Sannyasins. A similar event took place in Laguna Beach, California, where Sannyasins slowly infiltrated the Church of Religious Science. Ultimately Sannyasins controlled the church and the original founders were left with a doctrine completely alien tg Ahem. The church and property were valued at $13 million. U In November, 1981, RFI filed a third preference visa petition in behalf of Bhagwan. They simultaneously sought a Labor Certification as a religious teacher. At the same time, Bhagwan filed his application for’ status as a permanent resident. On December 21, 1982, both of these applications were denied, however, on January 11, 1983, both were reopened by the USINS to avoid any possible violation. There are now 13 attorneys associated with, or representing Bhagwan. The Bhagwan is being denied entry on the basis that he entered the U.S. as a tourist with the pre~ conceived notion to remain. He is a tourist that has overstayed. There is high probability of fraud in Ranjeesh's initial entry to the U.S. It is further believed there are from three yg five hundred, if not more, fraud marriages in this group. Bu RFI maintains that their membership is 40 percent American. It is believed that this is closer to 20 percent. According to the American Consulate in Bombay, there was neygy more that 300 to 400 U.S. citizens in Poona at any given time. EU At any rate, alien membership far out numbers U.S. membership, perhaps by as much as ten to one. It is the natural desire of each Sannyasin to be with or near his Master. To do so, however, nine out of ten have to figure out some way to enter the U.S. It is not known how many Sannyasins entered the country about the same “Wo Bhagwan, but it is obvious that several hundred did so. Ye [guesony RAJNEESH CHANDRA MOHAN BHAGHAN; uw RANJEESH FOUNDADTON, INTERNATIONAL ¢ Bhagwan has long predicted a "new commune" where thousands of Sannyasins can live in his presence. It is obvious that Rajneeshpuram in Central Oregon is this commune. Bhagwan now seems content to meditate by his pool, or take his daily two hour drive in one of his 25 Rolls Royces while his Sannyasins work 12 hour days building his city. The INS seems to be the only remaining obstacle in his path. It is doubtful that any applicant for permanent residence has ever drawn as much media attention or public opposition. ‘This could only be natural as Bhagwan advocates the distruction of the family and of all organized religions. (@ The annual festival is being held June 1, 1983, through July 15, 1983, at Rajneeshpuram city in Eastern Oregon. Fifteen thousand Sannyasins are expected to attend at a cost to the Sannyasins, exclusive of transportation, of $450 per week or $3,000 for a 90 day stay. If they are chosen to remain at the city, they are expected to give of alj,¢heir worldly goods and work 12 hours each day without pay. lA As of January 23, 1983, the country of India, Income Tax Appellate Tribunal, Bombay, India, ruled that the RFI was not a charity, was not a religion, nor an educational foundation by India's standards and, as such, was )@gnying their tax free status (here are allowances’ for appeal) QR WK There are not, as of June, 1983, any criminal convic- tions of Sannyasins in the U.S. that can be shown to have links with the RFI. There are, however, numerous investigations being - conducted by USINS on immigration marriage frauds as well as drug and currency violation investigations by other agencies in the U.S. It is noted that as of June 27, 1983, two Sannyasins and an accomplice were arrested in Bombay, India, for the illegal transfer of huge amounts of donations received in India and transferred to the RFI ARPS in the U.S. They are presently being held without bond. The real estate holdings in Oregon are growing. In addition to the 65,000 acre city in Eastern Oregon, the group purchased a small hotel in Portland, the major city in Oregon, and currently operates at various other locations in the city a restaurant, a restaurant/disco, and a bakery, all catering to the general public. It further appears they have targeted the @u Flyi. ae “ . - Fi - RAJNEESH CHANDRA MOHAN BHAGWAN; A RAJNEESH FOUNDATION, INTERNATIONAL city of Molalla, a small farming community adjacent to Portland, where they purchased a 1,000 acre farm as well as commercial property in the city. They are currently negotiating for additional farm land in Mulino, Oregon, another xural area adjacent to Portland. (AW The RFI currently owns and operates a fleet of five aircraft, consisting of a Convair, two DC-3's, a new 12— passenger Britten Islander, and a new 14-passenger Mitsubishi, the latter two being STOL aircraft. They operate primarily from the Portland International Airport and the ranch in Eastern Oregon which has two recently constructed 4,500 foot runways with attendant hangars under construction. ‘They have two full time pilots, one an Indian and the other a South African, and a part time pilot froma major U.S. air carrier. These aircraft are frequently cleared by U.S. Customs for flights between the U.S. and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The RFI has applied and been denied permission to establish a travel agency charter flight operation. uw To assess the potential of the Rajneesh group, you must consider that there are 79 Ashrams or centers in the U.S. alone. The group claims a membership of 250,000 to 300,000 worldwide, however, this is felt to be a cumulative figure since its inception. Source information places the worldwide membership at 50,000 to 60,000.1-V. J.

The ranch, 64,229 acres of which 50,000 acres lies in Jefferson County and 14,229 in Wasco County, was immediately occupied by about 50 members of the organization and renamed Rajneeshpuram. An additional 17,000 acres is under lease from the Bureau of Land Management. The organization also purchased property and businesses in the small nearby city of Antelope, population 40. Residents of Antelope attempted in april, 1982, to dis-incorporate the city but failed when the Rajneesh met voter requirements with sufficient numbers to retain the city. On September 18, 1984, the residents of Antelope, the majority of whom are now Rajneesh, voted to change the name of the town to Rajneesh. An estimated 1,500 Rajneeshes reside, with their leader, at the Rajneesh Neo-Sannyas International Commune located at Rajneeshpuram, Oregon, a city which the Rajneeshes incorporated in 1983. The Oregon State Attorney General has challenged the validity of the incorporation and that issue is currently pending in state court. This contested city is located a few miles from the city of Rajneesh, formerly Antelope. Beginning in early September, 1984, the Rajneesh announced a program of importing "street people" from several major cities to "the ranch". Current estimates from law enforcement and public reports indicate there are approximately 1,000 “street people" residing at Rajneesh. Housing construction is underway in Rajneesh and a prefabricated housing unit called a "man camp" has been purchased. This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions of the FBI.

Media reports and statements by local officials reflect a perception that the Rajneeshes have brought the "street people” to Oregon, merely to have them register as Oregon voters so they can vote in the forthcoming general election. Historically, votes cast by the Rajneesh community in previous elections have been almost entirely unanimous votes for candidates and ballot measures. Should large numbers of votes be cast in Wasco County, Oregon, in block fashion, state election officials believe it could influence the outcome of the local election. Oregon state election laws require a potential voter to certify they have resided in Oregon, 20 days prior to the ate of an election. One may register to vote by mail if the registration card is received by the County Clerk 20 days prior to the election. With regard to the forthcoming November 6, 1984, general election, Oregonians registering to vote by mail have to have their registration card to their respective County Clerk by October 17, 1984. If this is not done, the person may register in person at the County Clerk's office. This latter process can even be done on election day thus allowing someone to register and vote on November 6, 1984. The Oregon State Attorney General's Office is of the opinion that at least one of the goals of the Rajneeshes is to elect local officials sympathetic to their land use plans. By letter dated September 28, 1984, the United States Attorney's Office, Portland, Oregon, has requested the Portland Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to conduct a preliminary investigation of potential election offenses by the Rajneesh Foundation International. The FBI was specifically requested to conduct interviews and take affidavits or signed statements of the "street people” who have been at the ranch and left for whatever reason.os | sceeceseceeSeaCa! a 175@ : 1 2 OCTOBER 10, 1984 UNCLAS ROUTINE SFL25GRR PDEDE H@ AOL7S $4EYUGR LOZOSIZ OCT 4 FM DIRECTOR FBT TO FBI PORTLAND {S4D-573 {P} ROUTINE G BT WV GV CP . igfil ESH FOUNDATION INTERNATIONALS POTENTIAL ELECTION OFFENSES’ SELECTION LAUS. 00: PORTLAND. 59-5146 REPDAIRTEL AND LHM TO DIRECTOR DATED“OCTOBER 2+ 2984.

Copyright 1997 Times Mixror Company Los Angeles Times December 3, 1997, Wednesday, Home Edition SECTION: Metro; Part B; Page 7; Op Bd Desk LENGTH: 755 words HEADLINE: PERSPECTIVE ON TERRORISM; FEAR A MAD LONER MORE THAN SADDMM STATE-SPONSORED USE OF CHEMICAL OR BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS IS CONSTRAINED BY RISKS ‘THAT DON'T DETER THE DERANGED FRINGE. BYLINE: BRIAN MICHAEL JENKINS, Brian Michael Jenkins is deputy chairman of the Kroll-O'Gara Co.,, an international investigative and security firm BODY: ‘The recent confrontation with Iraq over its secret chemical and biological Weapons development. programs has renewed concerns about chemical and biological terroriem. What if a government like Saddam Hussein's in Baghdad clandestinely used such weapons against its enemies, making it appear as if it were a terrorist attack? or, might it turn over cruder versions of its deadly stocks to actual terrorist groups? In an environment that constantly features chemical and biological warfare in the headlines, might terrorists on their own be inspired to mass murder? The danger is clearly there. state-sponsored terrorism is a reality, and terrorism has grown deadlier. But a closer inquiry into their decision-making reveals that both state and terrorist foes face difficulties and constraints: The critical calculation is not what quantity of poison gas or deadly germs may be required to depopulate a city, but weighing the chances of success against the riske of discovery and massive retaliation. The bigger danger to society may come from those tiny groups and deranged individuals who can't or won't make such calculations. over the past quarter of a century, there have been numerous small-scale incidents in which crackpots, criminals and political extremists have used or threatened to use chemical or biological agents. The most frequent were threats made by extortionists who targeted public water supplies, food and beverages. ‘There have been hundreds of these acts, few of them fatal. The tactic was adopted by some political extremists who sought to use such threats as a mode of economic warfare against their state foes. In only a handful of incidents was the large-scale indiscriminate use of chemical or biological agents carried out. Members of the Jonestown cult conmitted mass murder-suicide using cyanide-laced Kool-Aid. The Rajneesh cult in oregon plotted to poison food at restaurants with salmonella to make townspeople ill on the day of a crucial referendum to decide the fate of their temple..The World Trade Center bombers packed their bomb with cyanide in sufficient quantity to contaminate the entire structure (the chemical was destroyed in the bomb blast) . and menbers of the Aun shincikya cult, fearing imminent police action, released nerve gas in Tokyo's subways.iY ’ Los Angeles Times, December 3, 1997 PAGE 3 Notably, all four of these incidents involved religious motivations. There is little evidence that secular tetrorists have taken anything other than a modest. intexest in chemical or biological agents, although more terrorists now are Ualking about them. Conventional weapons now provide terrorists with the capacity to kill far more people than they have killed if mass murder were their objective. Most acts of terrorism involvé only symbolic violence. Fewer then 30% involve fatalities; very few have involved mass murder. It is hard to kill a lot of people at one time, but technical difficulty is not the entire explanation. There are self-imposed constraints. wanton murder could tarnish a group's image, imperil the group's cohesion, alienate perceived constituents and provoke crackdowns that the group might not survive. But there is evidence that these constraints are eroding as ethnic hatreds and religious fanaticism replace ideological and political causes as the engines of armed conflict. Ethnic hatreds lend themselves to genocidal strategies; the constraints imposed by a political cause do not apply to those who believe they act for God. Large-scale violence has become today's terrorist reality as terrorists increasingly seek a body count. Chemical or biological terrorism seems more likely to emerge from the fringes, from the splinters of groups, from small ad hoc conspiracies, from mad religious cults. Hard to detect in advance, these single-cell plots are seldon capable of sustaining campaigns of terrorism, but they are capable of carrying out isolated spectacular acts like the World Trade Center or Oklahoma City bombings or a limited attack involving crude chemical or biological weapons. An assessment of the threat must also take into account the disaffected and often mentally disturbed loner. Although the popular image of the brilliant lunatic manufacturing chemical or biological weapons in his garage is an exaggerated caricature, it cannot be dismissed. Twenty-three years ago, the “alphabet Bomber" began a terrorist campaign with a deadly attack at Los Angeles International Airport. At the time of his arrest, the bomber was on the verge of manufacturing nerve gas.

Regional News DISTRIBUTION: Washington, Oregon 2ENGTH: 743 words | HEADLINE: State Police may need emergency funds to pay for guru probe DATELINE: SALEM, Ore. 300% ‘The Oregon State Police and State Department of Justice said Thursday they tay need an emergency appropriation of $932,000 this year to cover costs of a criminal investigation at the commune of Bhaqwan Shree Rajneesh. The two agencies notified the state legislative Emergency Board that they may seek the funds at the board's December meeting. The formal notification criggered an analysis of the request by the legislature's budget staff which ust be conducted before the money is allocated, A task force of $0 state and local police and FBI agents ewarmed to the sentral Oregon commune of the 53-year-old guru last month after Rajneesh accused several of his former top lieutenants of a long list of crimes. Gov. Vic Atiyeh told his weekly news conference Thursday '!there is a good -ikelihood of, indictments‘ from the investigation. But he declined to speculate m who might be indicted and refused to discuss evidence amassed by the State rolice. Rajneesh said a clique of disciples headed by his former’ personal secretary, fa Anand Sheela, attempted to murder several people with poison including a Uistrict attorney and a county commissioner. He said they were responsible for a ‘ood poisoning outbreak in The Dalles that left 700 people sick and he accused chem of burning a Wasco County government building, plotting to blow up the Jasco County Courthouse and wiretapping the entire commune. Sheela and others left the commune Sept. 14 and flew to Europe. Since the investigtion began, more than 100 members of the commune have been jubpoenaed to testify before state and federal grand juries. The state grand ury will begin hearing evidence next week in The Dalles. Denny Miles, assistant to Gov. Vic Atiyeh, said the investigation ' ‘certainly tas been an abnormal and unparalleled draw on several state budgets.' Staté Rep. Wayne Fawbush, D-Hood River, a member of the Emergency Board, said he panel would probably set up a contingency fund in December to cover costs. One thing T will guarantee is that we are going to have a full vestigation and we are going to pay for it to be sure we get to the bottom of his,'' he said.PAGE 3. United Press International October 10, 1985, Thursday, BC cycle lick Burke, head of the Legislative fiscal office, said the Emergency Board Frid not act on the request at its Thursday meeting because the deadline for ierent requests was Sept. 17, the day Rajneesh leveled his charges. If the inding is approved, it would come from the general fund. In other developments, the Episcopal Church revealed that the Rajneesh City vancil had offered an out-of-court settlement in a dispute over ownership of te Antelope Community Church. ‘The town of Antelope, established in 1901, was renamed Rajneesh after sLowers of the guru bought property in the community and took control of the -ty government . ‘The council, made up of followers of Rajneesh, urged City Attorney Ma Prem ingeet last week to negotiate a deal with the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern regon in The Dalles. The council discussed a proposal in which the city would rop its fight for the the church and four of six town lots that go with it in «change to title to three lots. The city wants to retain three lots because its ive hall and recycling center are built on them, . James Foster of The Dalles, an attorney representing the diocese, said angeet has made an offer, but he declined to give details. He did say it igfered from the proposal made at the council meeting. ‘The Rev. Rusty R. Kinsey, bishop of the diocese, said, ''I wrote the Bhagwan couple of weeks ago hoping there would be some letting up on their part in sens of the litigation but I have not heard anything since.'' Circuit Court Judge John Compenhaver of Deschutes County ruled in July 1964 nat the church and six lots belonged to the diocese, but the city appealed. The regon Court of Appeals heard arguments in the case three months ago, but has ot yet issued a decision. Rajneesh representatives and FBI agents held a long meeting in Rajneeshpuram ednesday. Near the end of the session, two men hauled five cardboard cartons ontaining what appeared to be file folders and papers out of the Hotel ajneesh. one of the men, Staya Vimukta, said the cartons contained ' ‘business records he lawyers have heen reviewing.''

Some devices were put on display at the commune Tuesday. ‘eThese people could have even killed me,'' Rajneesh said. ''If T was dead they could have vorshipped my body and made a beautiful memorial -- and then have been in full power to do whatever they wanted.'' ‘The bhagwan's comments prompted Rep.

The state Health Division said it has no plans to reopen the westigation. : Rajneesh officials said wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping’ at the ymmune recorded most phone calls and allowed extensive monitoring of private mversations aréund the sect's holdings, including hotel rooms, rental cabins \d the guru's home. ‘The head of the commune's private security force, separate from its police mee, told The Oregonian newspaper she was involved in monitoring wiretapping mipment at the behest of another Rajneeshee. ‘The wiretap operation was run from an office building used by the commune and som Sheela's hone and office, according to Ma Deva Kranto, coordinator of neesh Security. Kranto said one part of the operation involved the use of 36 voice-activated wpe recorders to record all incoming and outgoing calls at the ranch. Kranto uid disciples were stationed in a secret room in the administration building or 18 hours a day, minitoring the conversations. Kranto said she was told the equipment was designed to record threatening or wassingh phone calls, but she added, ''T never heard any threat.'! Rajneesh authorities said microphones were monitored from a secret control vom in Sheela's home. They said they had not established if those conversations wre taped. pickup 13th pgh: '' Rajneesh, whose followers éstablished the desert commune in 1981 as the world vadquarters of hia religious movement, said he became aware of the problems iter he broke a three-year, self-imposed silence.

The cult leader is known as the Baghwan Shree Rajneesh, a resident alien from India. Population at the ranch varies from an estimated 3,000 to 30,000 during religious festivals. The Foundation is international in membership, originating in India but with unknown thousands of European and United States followers. The Foundation has met considerable opposition from Oregon residents and has been the subject of continuing interest to area law enforcement.” The Rajneeshees, as they are known, have their own armed, legally established, security department. There are f¥equent allegations of criminal activity on behalf of the followers; however, nothing has been independently confirmed nor specifically detailed enough to warrant investigation under the current jurisdiction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It has been established that the Rajneesh Foundation has a fleet of transcontinental aircraft and engages in the transportation of its followers globally. While this activity provides the means for numerous criminal enterprises, no specific facts have surfaced which indicate that the Rajneeshees are involved in any criminal activity resulting from these flights. eoFEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION POI/PA DELETED PAGE INFORMATION SHEET FOI/PA# 1354746-0 Total Deleted Page(s) = 76 Page 3 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 4 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 5 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 6 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 7 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 8 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 9 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 11 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 12 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 13 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 14 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 15 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 17 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 19 ~ bé; BIC; Page 20 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 21 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 22 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 23 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 24 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 25 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 26 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 27 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 29 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 31 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 32 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 33 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 35 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 37 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 38 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 39 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 41 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 42 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 43 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 45 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 48 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 53 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 54 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 56 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 57 ~ Referral/Direct, Page 58 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 60 ~ Referral/Direct; Page 67 ~ Referral/Consult; Page 68 ~ Referral/Consult; Page 70 ~ Referral/Consult; Page 71 ~ Referral/Consult; Page 72 ~ Referral/Consult; Page 73 ~ Referral/Consult; Page 74 ~ Referral/Consult;Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page Page 75 16 ~ 1 79 ~ 80 al ~ 82 ~ 84 ~ as 36 ~ 87 - 38 a9 ~ 90 ~ 94 ~ 95 ~ 96 97 ~ 98 103 108 106 108 109 ili 112 123 124 6; ICH b7E: DIE; Referral/Consult; Referral/Consult; Referral/Direct; D6; BIC; DIB; Referral/Direct; Referral/Direct; Referral/Direct; Referral/Consult; Referral/Consult; Referral/Consult; Duplicate - 62-120695-5.
