Miscavige initiated a strategy in 2003 to build new or revamped Churches of Scientology, called "Ideal Churches", in every major city in the world. Since then, sixty-five new or remodeled Churches have been opened including facilities in Madrid, New York, London, Berlin, Mexico City, Rome, Washington, DC, Tel Aviv, Atlanta, Miami,San Diego, and Kaohsiung, Taiwan. In 2012, David Miscavige also opened the Church of Scientology's "National Affairs Office" in Washington D.C., which he declared to be "An office designed to give back to a United States government that steadfastly guaranteed our religious rights, the very freedom that allows us to do what we are doing today." The Church of Scientology says the National Affairs Office was built "to oversee programs around the country and the world dealing with human rights, drug addiction, literacy and disaster response".
