And on that count, let me go one step further. While some may speak of important cities like Los Angeles, New York or Washington DC, don't you believe it. What, after all, do all of those cities represent and depend upon? What stands behind them? The answer is the heart that pumps the lifeblood that is America. Cities like Buffalo.

So, as we look down these streets, we can speak of unemployment, we can speak of the need for renewal, we can speak of all else that plagues every part of this world in terms of addiction, illiteracy, criminality and immorality not to mention economic instability. But, if we do, my friends, let's not speak in terms of those "problems". Let's speak in terms of "solutions"—solutions for that which can solve every one of them. Because what drives it all is the individual—the forgotten worker and our prominent leaders.

If revitalization is what we seek, then let's help revitalize the individual himself. For the Scientologists of Buffalo, the church that stands before you is something we have dreamed about for decades.

As you will hear about in the months to come, its facilities have been established not only for your own progress in the "here and now" but for even greater programs, that will dramatically accelerate clearing on a planetary basis.

And as for what we know as the Golden Age of Tech, well here is a standard that might well appear in a "tech training film".

But even more than that, this church represents the work and help all of us must help to bring, in achieving the full measure of our aims: "A world without war, without criminality, without insanity, where the able can prosper and honest men are free to rise to greater heights."

And, so here stands the central organization to bring our solutions of drug rehabilitation, education, morality, not to mention even more groups, centers and missions to every community of the Buffalo area.

And that's the story of churches like this one world over, and they are coming very fast.

Places like Tampa.

And Johannesburg — just two weeks ago.

While two weeks from today, it will be San Francisco, all to be followed with dozens more and too numerous to name.

But, in that regard, you are one of the first.
