((PAGE TWO))
Operation Freakout, a plan to incarcerate (in jail or a mental
institution) "PC" or "Mrs. Lovely" their frequent code name for
Paulette Cooper. These pages consist of sample bomb threats by phone
and mail which are supposed to trace back to her, plus a bizarre scheme
to have a Scientologist pose as Cooper and crack up at a store near
where she lived so that she would be committed.
In 1973, another frame-up scheme with bomb threats lead to the
arrest and indictment of Cooper. The lower part of this page consists
of a letter attached to Operation Freakout in which they state that they
think this frame-up will work because it worked before and the FBI
believes she sent those original bomb threats.

RE: PC OP FREAKOUT
Dear Dick,
SITUATION: Cooper is still not terminately handled.
DATA: Cooper is getting her power back, attacking again.
Attached is approved Op Freakout. This additional channel (i.e.
plan). Should really have her put away. Worked with all the other
Channels.
The FBI already think she really did do the bomb threats on the C
of S (Church of Scientology).
SOLUTION: OK this additional Channel.
This is OK______
