Addendum III: Organizations Concerned with the Cults
There is a sympathetic account of organizations engaged in "de-programming" activities across the country: see Ronald Enroth's Youth, Brainwashing, and the Extremist Cults, pp. 188-199. He lists the following:
Citizens Engaged in Reuniting Families Return to Personal Choice Individual Freedom Foundation Free Minds
Many such groups appear from time to time under these and similar titles. Opposing viewpoints may be examined in "Deprogramming": A Book of Documents, published by the American Civil Liberties Union, 22 East 40th Street, N.Y.C., 10016, and in Let Our Children Go, by Ted Patrick (with Tom Dulack), E.P. Dutton, N.J., 1976, L of C BP 603.P37. An unofficial but carefully documented listing of current "information-retrieval" and other organizations concerned with cults, compiled by Prof. Richard Delgado of the University of Washington, presently visiting lecturer at UCLA Law School, will be available from Charles H. Whittier, Government Division, CRS, on request.

# The Cultic Phenomena: New and Emerging Religious Movements in America/Summary

50-page research report by Charles H. Whittier , Specialist in Humanities and Religion , Government Division - produced January 24, 1979 by the Congressional Research Service , Library of Congress , Report No. 79-24 GOV.
THE CULTIC PHENOMENA: SUMMARY
This report deals with the cultic phenomena surrounding new and emerging religious movements in America. Moving from an analysis of such terms as cult and sect today and in the past to an overview of cultic movements generally throughout history and particularly in the United States (including ritual suicide), it gives special attention to the People's Temple-Jonestown movement and provides a larger historical perspective for cults, new and old, with emphasis on their social and political context, the nature of their appeal, and the issues they raise for freedom of religion and public order alike.
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).

# The Cult Phenomenon in the United States (1979)/Zorinsky

INFORMATION MEETING ON THE CULT PHENOMENON IN THE UNITED STATES, February 5, 1979, 318 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. P.13-15. of Transcript of Proceedings.
Senator Dole. Senator Zorinsky?
Senator Zorinsky. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
There are, I think, many questions raised by the nonreligious activities of cults that are the legitimate concern of Congress. Where cults commit extortion, hold members through coercion, force them to commit suicide and conspire to kill outside critics -- as happened in the case of the Peoples Temple -- the government has an interest. It is a duty to cult members and the general public alike to protect them from criminal activities.
There is a duty, too, it seems to me, to ask questions about the Unification Church, though I do not wish to imply that it and the Peoples Temple are in any way similar.
The Reverend Sun Myung Moon has committed the massive financial resources of his diverse and far-flung business, political and religious enterprises to acquiring an extraordinary devoted following. Some of these followers are the extreme cases, at least, are little more than automatons.
The Fraser Subcommittee claimed that Reverened Moon is working to create a sectarian unified civilization centered in Korea, corresponding to the Roman Empire.
Parents of the Unification Church members allege that their children have been brainwashed into joining or remaining in the church.
It will be a sad day for this country when individuals who wish freely to enter the Unification Church are prevented from doing so.
But it will be no less sad when members of Congress cannot look into and discuss responsibly made allegations.
There are many other organizations, some political, some religious, too numerous to mention, about which similar allegations have been made.
We hold a profound and sincere belief in the rights of the individual in this country. Where organizations are acting to force their regimens on unwilling parties, either inside or outside, it is the responsibility of Congress to inquire why.
But I caution those here today to be very careful. This is not a completely balanced proceeding. You will not hear enough here this morning, if you have not been researching these questions, to form responsible conclusions from them. A majority of the speakers in a very general sense represent a single philosophy, and there are very serious questions about the limits of the Constitution's guarantee of freedom imposes on government action.
That subject requires greater attention than we have time for today.
Finally, the right to hold unusual and unconventional religious beliefs in this country must be absolutely protected. It would indeed be ironic if after fleeing Europe to escape religious persecution, our Founding Fathers gave birth to a new persecuting and intolerant nation.
Thank you.
Senator Dole. Thank you, Senator Zorinsky.

# The Dial (Third Series)/Volume 75/Poem

POEM
BY DUDLEY POORE
Hot earth sucks the roses' spattered blood. Thunder trembles over hazy sycamores, seed pods fatten, grapes grow round. In the weed-grown border flowers have stopped.
And all the sultry day, rose jar in hand, up and down the garden walks I have played June’s busy undertaker, with cloves from the pantry shelf embalming dead rapture, ordering black gloves for Eros, hiring the mourners. Now disgust curdles my blood. I will empty these rotton petals where the rain's hobnailed boot, and the cricket's delicate heel shall grind them back into earth, to learn of languid caresses in the angleworm's naked bed. Let these empty jars gather dust beyond the groping hand of spinsterish years on the highest shelf of my thought.
On the mellowed year lies fulfilment like the down on a peach. Do the months look backward? Do the ripe pods regret their fulness? Does the squirrel weep when hazels grow sweet in frilled jackets? I will turn my face with joy toward the swallows' going and the month of vintage.
