HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 29 JULY 1959 CenOCon SENDING CERTIFICATES BY MAIL When sending certificates by mail, always roll them up very carefully and place inside a rigid tube. The tube should always be longer than the roll of certificates. Make sure that the certificates are secure in the tube by passing a string through lengthwise and/or sealing the ends of the tube with wadding and gumstrip paper. It has been found that this method is the most successful so long as the tube is really rigid and of sufficient diameter so that the certificates do not have to be too tightly rolled. Send them by first class surface mail, not usually by airmail. Peter Hemery HCO Communicator WW PH:brb.mc.cden Copyright (c) 1959 0 by L.

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 171 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 31 DECEMBER 1959 Cert Depts ROUTING OF CERTIFICATES FOR STERLING AREAS The following arrangements will apply to the routing of certificates in Sterling Areas. HCO Area See London arranges for blank certificates to be printed. When other HCOs require certificates, they should send the route sheets completed to HCO Area See London, who will have the details written on the certificates. Always make sure the names are supplied in legible form exactly as they are to appear on the certificates. When the certificates have been completed, HCO Area See will then send them to LRH for his signature. They will then be sent back to HCO Area See London, who will airmail them to the appropriate HCO. HCO Area See London will also keep a world wide certificate log book. FINANCE: Area HCOs will pay to HCO Area See London the cost of the certificate and printing of the name, plus 5% to cover the time spent. The local HASIs will pay all postage costs, as this is a service we are doing for them. This system should simplify the routing of certificates, and at the same time ensure that the quality of certificates is standardized.

RON HUBBARD HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE 37 Fitzroy Street, London W.1 HCO POLICY LETTER OF 22 FEBRUARY 1960 CenOCon (Reissued from Sthil) HCO Board of Review HPA QUALIFICATIONS Policy states that an HPA/HCA certificate may not be awarded until all requirements including Extension Course, are completed. However, students who have completed the academy course and have graduated successfully and have passed the HCO Board of Review examination are in fact entitled to start practising professionally even though they may not have completed the Extension Course work. Sometimes also a student may have passed all the requirements and yet may not be in possession of a certificate because he has not completed paying for the course. In all such cases, provided that the HCO Board of Review is satisfied that the student is fully competent to start practising professionally, the student should be given a letter of Certificate Pending by the HCO Board of Review. This letter would give the student a grace period to complete his qualifications, say 6 or 8 months, and would state that he is entitled to audit professionally during this period. Each letter would be dated and would state the limit of the grace period, set according to the individual's circumstances. This procedure would regularize the position of the new auditor who is waiting for his certificate, and will also encourage the individual concerned to complete his requirements, including paying off his account.

I HCO POLICY LETTER OF 18 MAY 1960 Reissued from Sthil Assoc Sees HCO Sees Board of Review CenOCon CERTIFICATIONS It is important that the project for issuing outstanding certificates should be carried through successfully, and as quickly as possible. One reason is that all of these old certificates which have been "hanging fire" should be issued before HASI Ltd becomes a fact. It is greatly to the advantage of Central Orgs to get these certificates into the hands of all who are qualified to have them-it means more trained auditors, more memberships in good standing. To qualify for a certificate, a person must pass, or have passed an HCO Board of Review examination based on the data he was taught rather than new data. His course fees must either be fully paid up or (in the sterling area) he must be making regular payments on a banker's order. A certificate may be used if he signs a banker's order and starts making regular payments, (in sterling areas). If the person is not already entitled to a validation seal, he may qualify for the 1960 Red Validation Seal if he complies with certain provisions. These provisions may be modified from time to time as technology and training alters. At present, a person may obtain a validation seal when he has completed his Extension Course successfully and passed an HCO Board of Review examination on CCHs and Model Session (HCO Policy Letter of April 25, 1960). The person immediately responsible for seeing this project carried through is the HCO Board of Review. Until it is completed, it may be necessary to place a person on this post full time and make arrangements for part time assistance for correspondence, practical examinations, etc. HCO Secs and Assoc Sees are requested to assist in every possible way to ensure that this project is pushed along until every certificate which is now outstanding has been issued. (Note: This does not alter the policy that in order to keep a certificate in force an auditor must have a membership in good standing.) Peter Hemery HCO Secretary WW for L.

This suggestion, put forth by Smokey Brand, HCO Area Secretary DC, has been sent to most organizational personnel throughout the world for their comment. The reply was an overwhelming affirmative. Hereinafter, no Validation Seal may be stamped on a certificate without the above requirement. Effective at once, all personnel on HGCs who will have been on an HGC one year by May 12, 1962 will receive a Validation Seal of a new style stating the fact of interneship.

I have duly completed all the requirements for this certificate. I understand that the certificate is given to me free of charge and I have not paid for it to HCO or any agency which could be connected to HCO, or construed to be connected. Signature Date I understand that I may continue to hold this certificate only as long as I subscribe to and abide by the Code of a Scientologist, the Auditor's Code, and the rules and regulations that apply to an auditor in professional practice as they appear from time to time. Signature Date I hereby affirm that I am not a Communist nor do I have criminal or communist connections. I also affirm that I have no unpunished crimes in my past in the eyes of the law and that I do not have a criminal record (THIS LIFETIME). Signature Date This space for Office use only. Checked by HCO Board of Review on E-Meter (signature) OK to issue certificate: HCO Board of Review (signature) (name of Org or Continent) Any other comments: 177 If the student has not yet completed all the requirements for certification, he may yet partially complete the form, and in fact should receive the meter check before leaving the Central Org. This form is given to the student upon his request by the HCO Board of Review of the Organization where the student has completed, or will complete, his course. When it is finally completed and signed by the Central Org Board of Review, it must be sent to the HCO Board of Review, Continental, by the student applying. (However, the Central Org Board of Review should see that the student understands the procedure and sends in his application when all requirements are complete.) Board of Review Continental then checks the applicant's check sheets (which should have been received from the Central Org Board of Review). If the check sheet is complete, the HCO Board of Review Continental issues the certificate. If it is not complete, the HCO Board of Review Continental informs the student via the Central Org Board of Review, which has the direct responsibility for seeing that the check sheet is properly completed. HCO Board of Review Continental should not issue a certificate until it has in hand both the completed check sheet and the certificate application of the applicant. The E-Meter check required shall consist of being checked out on O/Ws and missed withholds which the applicant may have accumulated while at the Org concerning the staff, students and preclears; and a check on the last question of the application form. The person checking should also determine the general case level of the applicant by observing TA, needle and person while being checked. If the case level seems poor or bad, the Central Org Board of Review should require the person to be audited before completing the application form. THE HCO BOARD OF REVIEW CONTINENTAL IS NOT TO ALLOW THE CERTIFICATION OF ANY PERSON WHOSE CASE LEVEL IS NOT UP TO HCO STANDARDS, OR WHO HAS NOT HAD THEIR O/Ws FROM COURSE CLEANED UP. Finally, it is emphasized that every effort should be made to expedite the issue of certificates. HCO Boards of Review should make sure that graduating students complete all their requirements and send in their applications for certificates as soon as possible after graduation.

Delays in completing these last three items should be minimal. Providing his Course fees have been fully paid, or satisfactory arrangements have been made for completing payment, on the day that he is released from the Academy the new Graduate is to be handed his HPA/HCA certificate. Therefore, instead of waiting until Course' completion for preparation of certificates as previously, on date of commencement of HPA/HCA Course a despatch is written by the Director of Training to the HCO Board of Review giving the full names of the new students who have commenced on Course. HCO Board of Review will then proceed immediately with the preparation of these certificates, This follows the normal procedure except that after I have signed them and sent them back, they are placed in the Valuable Documents Safe and remain there until date of issuance. They are NOT to be embossed with the HASI Seal until the date on which the certificates are actually handed to the new graduates. Delays in certificate issuance are to be obviated completely.

RON HUBBARD ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 179 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 12 AUGUST 1963 BPI CERTIFICATES AND AWARDS (Changes earlier policies where these are at variance) The certificate of HUBBARD GRADUATE AUDITOR (ST HILL) CLASS will hereafter be issued for successful completion of the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. The certificate HUBBARD CLEARING SCIENTOLOGIST will no longer be issued but may be converted to HUBBARD SENIOR SCIENTOLOGIST. No further courses for this level may be enrolled in Academies until such time as Scientology Three is codified. HUBBARD SENIOR SCIENTOLOGIST may be given for HCA/HPA retread. The certificates HUBBARD CERTIFIED AUDITOR for the US and HUBBARD PROFESSIONAL AUDITOR for the UK and Commonwealth will continue as the professional certificate issued by Central Organizations. It is given for successful completion of an Academy HCA/HPA Course. This certificate and no other (except HDA as follows) is requisite for the Saint Hill Special Briefing Course. The certificate for Scientology One is HUBBARD BOOK AUDITOR. This is granted under various conditions in the Orgs. The reason being that no book auditor should audit without a certificate. It replaces HUBBARD APPRENTICE SCIENTOLOGIST and this certificate may be exchanged by anyone for a HUBBARD BOOK AUDITOR certificate. (I do not personally sign this certificate. It is signed by letterpress.) CLASSIFICATION Classification is in addition to certification and is by additional examination by HCO. Classification is sealed on any certificate by "Class" and large Roman Numerals and a Hubbard Communications Office ring, the Roman Numerals denoting Class to be huge and in the centre of the seal. HBA may be sealed with a Class 1. HCA/HPA may be sealed with a Class I or a Class Il. HSS may be sealed with a Class 11 or Class 111. HGA (St Hill) may be sealed with a Class III, Class IV or a Class V. The object of class is that course completion alone may award a certificate. But course proficiency is denoted by a Class Seal. Auditors who have difficulty getting results should not be classed. Classses and certificates are now fully aligned and permanent in comparison with the five levels of Scientology HCO Policy Letter of August 2, AD] 3 and Classification Policy Letters. Classification is not a matter of obligation to HCO. It is a special award and is not owed to anyone. HANDLING OF ISSUE It is required that the following policies of issue be followed. HBA - Issue certificate to anyone who is auditing industriously. Give Class I only to such as also take new Comm Course training. 180 HCA/HPA - Issue only to Academy students who complete their check sheets. Classify certificate as Class I inevitably but as Class II on the basis of staff employment or retread, HSS - Issue certificate to HPA/HCA retread if promised. Classify as 11 or III only on the basis of further retread or staff employment. HGA (St Hill) - Issue certificate on completion of check sheets. Classify III on basis of competent auditing. Classify IV on basis of excellent showing in results on pcs or on retread at Saint Hill. Classify V only on reaching OT and retread at Saint Hill. DOCTOR OF SCIENTOLOGY This is an honorary degree, not granted for scholastic reasons but is purely an award to those who at Class III or IV perform signal service to Scientology activites. An HCS or HGA (St Hill) is understood to qualify. FELLOW OF SCIENTOLOGY This is an honorary award for signal contribution to Scientology technology beyond the scope of a new process. The work must be complete and approved. Usually reserved for Class IV or V auditor. HUBBARD DIANETIC AUDITOR This certificate remains in full force. It may however be exchanged for an HPA/HCA without further examination and at cost of certificate and preparation of it. However, HDA is the single exception to acceptance for Saint Hill training for which it is valid, waiving then the HCA/HPA requirement. HONOURS Any classification may be issued "with honours" providing the candidate has exceeded the check sheet requirements by a notable degree and is also eligible for the upper classification range of that certificate. HBA Class I is the exception. It is the classification that is given "with honours". "With honours" however may not be given without the written recommendation of the candidate's own instructors. ADMINISTRATIVE CERTIFICATES Three new certificates totally devoted to administrative actions and skills are announced herewith and are now available. The certificate HUBBARD ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR will be issued to properly qualified persons who have served one year or more in an HCO or Scientology organization in the Administrative Division and who have successfully passed the examination of a permanent staff member as issued or amended; or who has successfully completed a course in administration given by a Scientology Organization. The certificate HUBBARD ADMINISTRATOR will be issued to properly qualified persons who have served two or more years on the staff of an HCO or Scientology Organization in the Administrative Division and who have passed the required examination; or who have successfully completed a course in administration given by a Scientology Organization. The certificate HUBBARD EXECUTIVE will be issued to properly qualified Hubbard Administrators who have successfully completed the studies required. Permanent staff member certificates will no longer be examined for or issued but may be retained and also converted to the certificate. Permanent Executive certificates will no longer be examined for or issued but may be retained and also converted to Hubbard Administrator certificates. 181 RELEASE Release buttons (an "R" set in the S and double ARC Triangle of Scientology) may be (and should be) issued to HGC pcs who have attained its requirement by HCO Sees without charge. CLEAR BRACELETS Silver Clear Bracelets are issued by HCO Sees at the expense of the HGC or the field pc to those who meet clear requirements. (Note: No such bracelet shall be issued until procedure of test is established in HCO Policy Letters after this date, all former such tests being cancelled.) OT AWARDS Gold OT Bracelets will be issued when requirements are specified and met. SCIENTOLOGY PINS Associate Membership is the sole requirement of a Scientology pin issue. MINISTERIAL AWARDS AND INSIGNIA These are not properly Scientology awards but are authorized and issued only by Church boards. They are handled by courtesy by HCOs attached to Churches. These include Doctor of Divinity, Minister of the Church and Spiritual Counselor. There are no other valid Dianetic or Scientology awards. Any former certificate legally issued by a Scientology organization may be turned in for any of the above comparable certificates. Illegal certificates in Dianetics and Scientology, meaning any issued by an agency not authorized by HCO, should be seized and the issuing agency sued by HCOs for violation of trade mark and copyright and fraud. ISSUING AGENCY Hubbard Communications Office has full control of all certificates and awards of Dianetics and Scientology and may issue according to policy, and suspend or cancel at discretion. The basis of issue is competence. The basis of suspension is violation of ethical use. The basis of cancellation is failure to comply with the conditions of an order of suspension. VALIDITY OF CERTIFICATES No certificate is valid without my personal or printed signature, that signature now being fully copyrighted and trade-marked. IN FORCE It is considered as of the date of one day after this policy letter that all those certificates and awards ever issued are to be considered in full force regardless of circumstances except those suspended between March 13, AD13 and August 12, AD13.

HCO Boards of Review should therefore be prepared to continue their present system of preparing, issuing and recording certificates of all kinds, as before. Supplies of blank certificates of all levels up to IV are now obtainable from the Book Department of HCO WW at Saint Hill. These are: HAS - LEVEL I HQS - LEVEL II HCA - LEVEL III HPA - LEVEL III Class III HCS - LEVEL IV HAA (Level V), HSS (Level VI) and HGA (Level VII) are however still obtainable only at Saint Hill at this time. In addition, the honorary DScn, FScn and in the US, ministerial certificates, are still obtainable as before. The supply and issue of certificates should be an easy, rapid process. The system is briefly as follows: As soon as a student enters a course, his certificate is prepared, his name lettered on it and if necessary (HPA and above at present) the certificate is sent at once to HCO WW to be signed by LRH. The certificate is therefore ready to be presented to the student as soon as he graduates from the course and passes his examination, if any, Before receiving the certificate, however, at Level 11 (HQS) and above, he should complete an application form for the HCO. This application form is in duplicate. One copy is sent to HCO WW Address Dept for their information, when the student receives his certificate or classification. The application form should include a mailing address. Check sheets for routing certificates should be kept in the usual way. A roll book should be carefully kept of certificates and classifications at Level III (HCA) and above. For levels below 111, it is sufficient to keep track of it in C/F and Address Depts. The HCO Area Sec is responsible for seeing that certifications and classifications are speedily and efficiently handled, though the actual function may be delegated to another personnel. The actual function of certification and classification for a whole area is centralized at the Area HCO of the main central org of the area. At present, these are: London for UK and Europe; Washington DC for America and United States (except California); Los Angeles for California; Johannesburg for Africa; Melbourne for Australia and ANZO. HCO WW also does its own certification and classification at Levels V, VI and VII. Certificates at Levels I and 11 may also be issued by other offices at the discretion of the central issuing offices. However, Franchise holders and individual auditors must apply to HCO for issue of HAS or HQS certs to their students. In addition to certification, the HCO Board of Review is now also responsible for classification, at Level III and IV. Classification is stamped on a gold seal in the lower left hand corner of the appropriate certificate. It consists of a large roman numeral surrounded by a circle, sample as under: 186 The address department at HCO WW is to be notified, as a routine procedure, of all classifications, This can be done by sending a copy of the application form when the classification is awarded, The application form should include a mailing address. It is emphasized again that a student receives a certificate on completing course, and receives a classification seal on the appropriate certificate after successfully completing further training at that level. Every effort should be made to keep this system moving smoothly, and to ensure that students receive their certificates and classifications immediately on graduating or passing exams.

New Classification policy states that an Academy student may be certified at the end of his course but that he is examined for classification before the beginning of his next course. Therefore the signature on our certificates for "Examining Board" is left blank when the student is merely certified. If the student is classified for any class, the examiner only then signs as the examining board. At the same time the certificate is sealed with a -old seal with Roman Numeral for the Class awarded. In case the student has a higher certificate but passes only for a lower class, the certificate is signed by the examiner on the highest certificate held. But the stamp and seal is only for the lower classification obtained. Classification can easily lag behind certification and is the important point on the certificate for pcs to watch for, as an auditor cannot charge fees for the processes of a grade higher than that auditor has been classified for. Thus classification is more important than certification in judging an auditor's skill and finding what processes he can run professionally. LRH:jw.rd Copyright (c) 1964 by L. Ron Hubbard L.

For new ways to apply existing processes or levels or for successful applications to new areas or stratas of society with actual results, any one of various honorary awards may be given. These consist of memorial medals or honorary certificates. For successful, broad application of training procedures or arrangements in new areas, memorial medals or honorary certificates may be given. For new methods of dissemination or ideas which when applied resulted in markedly broader successful dissemination, memorial medals or honorary certificates may be given. For excellent application of Scientology administrative procedures such as in forming or recovering the status of an organization, or applying Scientology to the reorganization and better of business, group and government memorial medals or honorary certificates may be given. No awards will be issued for new processes as nearly all those so proposed in the past already existed in the research technology or were less workable variations of existing processes. No awards will be. issued for new principles as these are usually cognitions routinely rising from applied Scientology principles and lead astray from advancement, hanging the person in a personal win which the person then seeks to pass on to others who in actual fact would have similar cognitions if run on standard processes. No awards will be given for new training procedures or drills. We have far more of these than we can ever apply. But awards may be given for adapting existing drills to new zones of education providing they are standard drills for new uses. No awards will be given for new administrative procedures anywhere. But honorary awards will be given on the application of our standard administrative procedures outside orgs providing they are not varied and are accredited to us. Award nominations are made to HCO (Division 1) officers and are forwarded on routine channels. It would not be usual to request a specific honorary award. The scope of the application and the tests made and the actual results of it should be properly detailed. The award itself is recommended to the board by HCO Sec WW and, bearing a Hubbard signature, is then passed back through channels. TYPES OF AWARDS Certificates denoting courses taken are issued as an obligation to the student as soon as feasible after the course is completed. This is a standard award. It must bear a Hubbard signature at board level. This is true also of Admin certificates. Classification and seals are given in local areas totally at the discretion of HCO (Division 1) and after examination. A record of these is forwarded to HCO WW. No other signed document is issued than a seal and a letter from an HCO Secretary. No classifications given locally are credited on the Saint Hill Course when the student comes to Saint Hill for training and are re-awarded as Saint Hill Classifications. 188 These consist of a letter and as feasible a seal, the letter bearing only a Hubbard signature at board level. If no classification is awarded at Saint Hill, local area classification may be resumed. Classification is never promised. It is entirely at the discretion of HCO. It is never owed anyone. Certificates for courses and classification are elsewhere given. Grades are awarded preclears (or students) by HCO in the area attained. These consist of a nomination to Grade by Division 2 (Training and Processing) and are written as letters on LRH stationery and signed for him (per pro) by the HCO Area Secretary, who specifies area in which given, and issued by HCO through the Registrar. Staff certificates or grades resulting from staff training or processing in technical, instructional or administrative subjects are nominated by Division 2 (Training and Processing). They are then handled as above; certificates are locally drawn up and forwarded to Saint Hill for signature. Classifications are drawn lip and signed locally by HCO, Grades are drawn up locally and signed by HCO and all are issued to the staff by HCO. HONORARY AWARDS All certificates and awards obtained not as a result of courses or examination are termed honorary. All honorary certificates are marked "Honorary" in distinct lettering. An honorary certificate may not be substituted for a standard certificate or classification and may not be required as a qualification for anything and does not waive any requirement to have a certificate or classification. Honorary certificates and awards are only given for achievement in application. They do not however grant any now right to apply. Lists of honorary certificates are to be issued from time to time. Memorial awards are medals or plaques and have the same conditions as honorary certificates. Scientology pins, release pins, and clear pins are the more usual memorial awards, signifying an event or an achievement in application, the first of which is becoming a Scientologist, the next consisting of obtaining a known case gain and the clear pin signifying the attainment of a meter condition. These three are awarded by HCO locally as follows: The group, field auditor,. franchise auditor or org sends to their local area HCO a list of the names and addresses of persons who have joined. A Scientology pin is mailed as a matter of course to the home address of each person by Prom Reg, at no cost to the nominator or recipient. A Release pin candidate is nominated to their local HCO by a field auditor, Franchise auditor or Division 2 (Training and Processing) and is awarded by the Area HCO by mail or hand. A clear pin is nominated to HCO by a Franchise auditor or Division 2 of' an org, is attested by the nominator as to the meter condition and grade of the former preclear and is then awarded by the Area HCO, usually by a request to Continental HCO to send it. A clear pin is issued at no cost to the nominator or the recipient but the recipient may buy a silver identification bracelet from the org if he or she wishes. Scientology pins, release pins and clear pins are paid for out of the HCO Book Fund Account of the area in which they are issued. Supplies are obtained as feasible and economic. The design and quality Of the award article is passed upon by HCO WW to which designs for all intended manufactures and samples of all manufactured must be passed upon at HCO WW before actual issue in the area. Memorial medals and awards will be described and issued from time to time. LRH:jw.rd Copyright (c) 1965 L. RON HUBBARD by L.

Classification is a vital necessity for professional practice at the level, and no auditing fee may be charged by an auditor who has not been classified. For the sake of maintaining the quality of auditors turned out by Saint Hill, I do, however, require that on the Saint Hill Course, check sheets be satisfactorily completed before the award of a certificate, and exercise my prerogative to examine students for the basic competency of an auditor before signing the final certificate-this examination not leading to Classification. It is called to attention that a Saint Hill certificate does bear the word "Saint Hill" and must be safeguarded even when no classification is awarded. However, a Continental certificate may be issued when competence is not considered up to Saint Hill standards. The definition of a Saint Hill certificate is t ' hat it is granted for complete check sheets-not amount of time on course-in Theory, Practical and on Auditing check. sheet on others.

Review action in Qual is not to be credited, as this is Review of the result, and not the actual auditing to Release. If the person was not Released and had to be finished by Review, meaning a process had to be run, the Review Auditor is credited.

The Certificate of Loss simply states "I have lost my Release Pin and attest that I have not given it to another person". And is signed legibly so that the name can be read. It is of course grounds for false attestation if the matter ever comes up. Grades V, Va, and VI have a larger pin given when the pc attains the higher grades.

The system used is chronological numbering from 0 onwards. One number, once assigned is continued for that person, regardless of where he may later be trained, and appears on any certificates he gets. It is preceded by the area code of the area where the first Cert was awarded and this area code is kept in the number regardless of where later training is accomplished. Example: A person gets a cert, say an HRS. The next available number, written on a chalk board on the wall in Certs & Awards at WW, is assigned. Say it's 504-that's his number, and when he gets his HRS cert prepared, it is numbered 504 preceded by the code of the area where trained. If in London, then it would be UK 504. When he gets his next level, his HTS, it is numbered UK 504 also and so on. When he comes to St. Hill and gets his HSS, it is also numbered UK 504. Where someone moves from one area to another, say he got his HRS at Scientology Twin Cities in Minnesota, and was assigned TC 505, and then goes to DC to get his HTS, his HTS Certificates will be numbered TC 505. When he gets his HSS at St. Hill it will be numbered TC 505. End of Example. This number is also the number that goes on his Scientology Passport when issued. It is a number perforated through all the pages of the passport book by a machine that is designed to do this. The Passport is issued with his first certificate. When the passport books are ready, they can be numbered from the logs in Certs and Awards, at St. Hill. As this changes somewhat the numbering system used in the past, logs must be brought into PT using this new system. This is initiated at WW and as these logs are brought into PT (HGA-the highest Cert first), numbers are assigned to these certificates, the certs prepared and numbered and issued from the top down. That is: HGA, HSS, etc. New Cert applications from Orgs are dealt with, priority given always to the highest level first, that number given being the next in line, soon, this will find the new Scientologist assigned a number, passport & certificates, when he completes his first course. No priority being necessary as the higher cert will always have a number already when applying for his next certificate as well as his passport showing this number. Invoicing & Assignment of number, passport & cert to be done immediately upon arrival of a cert application. (The "in lieu of" letter from orgs.) Older certificate holders, where numbers are already assigned will not turn in these certs, these will be honored as they stand and the numbers already assigned will stand on these certificates, and in Org Logs where they were issued. Where the highest cert has already been attained, the number already assigned will be used as the person's number under the new system. Where new certs are issued to an old cert holder, numbered under past systems, a new number as assigned will become the person's cert number for all new certs and will be his passport number. All numbers are assigned by WW and Certs are charged to and routed for final preparation, i.e. Classification seals and presentation by the Org awarding, who will note the cert number in their logs after receiving the cert from WW and before presenting the cert to the student. The new certificates will name the Org training the person at any level, this being printed on the Cert by Certs & Awards WW, when the Cert is prepared. No Area Code need be shown beyond the one originally assigned. LRH:emp.rd L. RON HUBBARD Copyright (c) 1965 by L.

The File Clerk also handles memberships, It will be found that memberships in active times, if the files are up to date and the stencils are well handled, will occupy from a third to a half of the File Clerk's time and that is a very routine procedure and people make so much work out of memberships and all you do is, you take in the membership and you fill out the card and you have a little letter or note of some sort and send it to the person. The reason memberships is hard to do is because everybody runs into memberships everything else. All Membership consists of is telling people to renew, and renewing, and making out cards and so forth and that's all it consists of. If there's anything else comes up on the line it is somewhere else. Now part of memberships is "change of address" and when your change of address comes in you may have to cut some new addressograph stencils, something of that order. Membership consists of two channels. It has two incoming baskets. One basket is memberships (which is just renewal or a new membership) and the other basket is change of address and all Changes of address and all memberships, go to CF, and they have two baskets that sit side by side marked IN and two baskets that sit side by side marked OUT, and you park those things (there's a special arrangement of a table you can make with memberships which is very good). We worked this out and it did prove to be good. We take two baskets on the left of the table and then two baskets at the extreme right of the table and the one which is to the edge of the table is the membership basket and the one which is at the back of the table is the change of address basket and we have them "in" and "out" and then we put on that table and never disturb, all of the materials necessary to do a membership or a change of address and we just lay those materials out on the table. Stacks of paper and the membership cards and everything we have to make out and do and it's all on the table in plain sight in the order that they're used. Thereby we can take, change of address and go straight through them and take change of memberships and get them through quickly so it doesn't take much time. Otherwise a membership clerk is always going "Oh, what do I do now?" What they will send you in the guise of memberships is fabulous. Somebody wants a book list, what is my discount, and all that sort of thing; they have nothing to do with memberships but come under business administration. If you can tell people brutally that they are off-line when they try to disturb the membership chain you'll find memberships don't occupy very much time. But if everything comes in on the line that appertains to members, including the policy that the Association Secretary should make, which they try to throw away, why then you have a mess.

If the membership is not renewed HCO Area See should then be notified by the memberships clerk. The HCO Area See will then write a letter informing the person that if he does not renew his membership within one month, his Certificate will cease to be valid. If the membership is still not renewed, Memberships and Addressograph must then be notified by the HCO Area Sec. Addressograph should then remove the person's HPA or other qualifying letters from his Address plate. However, the tab should not be changed; in this way the person will still receive mailings to auditors, and there is still a chance that his interest will be revived and that he will eventually renew his membership.

THAT NO MISUNDERSTOOD WORDS EXIST AMONGST STAFF, AUDITORS OR IN ORG PUBLIC. 2. THAT ALL TRAINING AND AUDITING PROGRAMS OF STAFF, STUDENTS, AUDITORS, INTERNES OR IN ORG PUBLIC ARE IN CORRECT SEQUENCE, WITHOUT SKIPPED GRADIENT AND DONE. 3. THAT ALL STAFF CASES ARE PROGRESSING SATISFACTORILY WITH GOOD OCA (APA) GAINS AND THAT NO NO CASE GAIN CASES ARE ON STAFF. If there is an outness in any of these three purposes, it is the DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL ENHANCEMENT who is held responsible, regardless of where the violation occurred in the org or why. Breakdown in Cramming (through no Misunderstood words being found), breakdowns in training (because of skipped gradients), failures of staff members (through no mis-U word handling, programming for hatting and case) and counterintention of persons on org staff or public lines (through no case gain) all lead DIRECTLY to the breakdown and lack of prosperity of THE WHOLE ORG. Thus the DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL ENHANCEMENT and his or her staff HOLD THE KEYS TO STAFF AND ORG SUCCESS. They do not hold HCO responsible or Tech responsible or C/Ses or Supervisors. THEY GET THE JOB DONE! Word Clearing is Priceless tech. They are the Custodians and appliers of it. Programming on smooth gradients is priceless tech. They are the Custodians of it. Staff personal cases and health make or break the org. The personnel of Personnel Enhancement are the Custodians of these. PERSONAL The whole operating basis of Personnel Enhancement is PERSONAL. There is no mass, disinterested, bureaucratic approach. "Problems of Work" is the key to operating this Department. Particle by Particle, step by step, each individual is HANDLED and MAINTAINED. 210 REACH The Department does NOT just sit in one place waiting for others to originate. A good Personnel Enhancement staff member REACHES. And in spite of all rebuffs, gets the job done. It looks for business all over the org and brings it in. ANATOMY An org is made up of individuals. The customers are individuals. If each part of the whole is handled then the whole will be complete and successful. And what can go adrift with these individuals? Words are misunderstood. The individual then goes blank on his materials and does not act. Training and auditing skip gradients and leave the person confused and inactive. Cases bog or are neglected or health deteriorates and the individual is a drag on himself or the group, or gaining not at all is destructive. SUMMARY So with these three guiding purposes, the DEPARTMENT OF PERSONNEL ENHANCEMENT can make an org rise and rise and rise. With all departmental lines adjusted to these purposes and with each of its staff in full agreement and in action on them, the even partially established org cannot fail. This is the repair crew, which, functioning well individually and on an all hands basis at need, keeps the most vital part of the org, its beings, in shape to run. This department keeps each individual staff member running. And at need it keeps the In Org public gaining. It is a very great trust. L. RON HUBBARD Founder LRH:ne.rd Copyright (c) 1972 by L.

Co-auditing or auditing arrangements after hours or on week-ends is encouraged. L~ RON HUBBARD 213 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE 3 7 Fitzroy Street, London W. I HCO POLICY LETTER OF 21 DECEMBER 1960 Re-issued from Sthil All Central Orgs All Staff Member Hats STAFF CLEARING-NEW POLICY All staff clearing co-audits are abolished herewith. Instead, the following plan is effective immediately on receipt in order to benefit staff personnel with more hours of processing than were available in staff clearing courses. HGCs will at once, put on staff one, two or three extra auditors on a continuing basis, if they have no extra auditors as a normal rule. Staff members, providing they are permanent and full time and on units may have 121/2 hour intensives as regular HGC pcs, during any one week. The staff member can be audited mornings or afternoons, 21/2 hours per day. In the case of a staff auditor only a 25 hour intensive may be given or an evening 12 1/2 hour intensive. The staff member does not necessarily surrender his whole pay for a 121/2 hour intensive. He surrenders half a staff auditor's units from his own units. The surrendered units go only to the salary sum. In the case of a staff auditor receiving a 25 hour intensive, his units are surrendered. If he takes a 121/2 hour evening intensive, the person auditing is paid extra the units that were surrendered. All processing is handled as in the case of any HGC pc by the (c) of P. All testing and admin and interview is the same for a staff member as for any HGC pc. The staff member enrolls for this through the Registrar with the usual steps and invoice. The invoice is marked only the number of units surrendered. The Registrar, checked by HGC admin, carries a staff processing roster. No staff member may have consecutive intensives. If a staff member has an intensive, he must "fall in" afterwards at the bottom of the waiting list. Only when no staff intensives are otherwise in demand could this rule be violated. During the remaining hours of his work day during a week when he is getting an intensive a staff member is expected to be busy at his post as usual. On posts where time off must be covered, the staff member should arrange with someone to cover for him or her the 21/2 hours he is being audited (as in the case of an instructor having a lecture). On a staff of 35, two auditors should be added to HGC strength permitting 4 12 1/2 hour intensives to be given per week. This permits a staff member to have an intensive about every eight weeks. HCO Board of Review is requested to expedite the examination of permanent staff members on the Org Board, comm system and knowledge of a general staff member's hat. The (c) of P may use the extra two staff auditors to take up slack on a sudden influx of pcs but the scarcity may not be permitted to continue more than one week. In a slack period any HGC auditor may be used for intensives for staff but not for more than two weeks. LRH:js.gh.oden L. RON HUBBARD Copyright (c) 1960 by L. Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 214 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 22 MARCH 1961 Central Orgs One to each Staff Member STAFF MEMBERS ORDERED TO PROCESSING The Association Secretary or the HCO Area Secretary can order a staff member to processing, if it is considered necessary. The maximum -number of hours allowed for this is 121/2, but 5 hours is preferred. In this time, the rudiments, mainly withholds, and Formula 15 should be flattened. On a person ordered to processing nothing else may be run but these processes. The processing must be carried out in the HGC, and supervised by the (c) of P. When the processing is completed, the HCO Area Secretary checks the staff member to see if he or she is ready to resume his or her post in the organization. A full report of all such processing must be forwarded to HCO Technical Secretary WW'. Should longer than 121/2 hours be considered necessary, the HCO Area Secretary must submit a full report to the Executive Director, for approval before any longer period than 121/2 hours is undertaken. It is unlikely that it would be okayed due to the staff intensive programme. This processing should be taken in ordinary day schedule auditing, and the staff member does not receive units for the time spent in processing. If after 121/2 hours, the HCO Area Secretary does not consider the staff member is yet able to resume his post, the staff member should be told this, and that it is up to him to get his case up to the level where he can ably handle his post.

Ron Hubbard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 215 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 9 APRIL 1961 CenOCon STAFF INTENSIVES (Modified) I have some particular goals in clearing. I want to see the Association Secretary or Organizational Secretary and the HCO Secretary cleared first, then the (c) of P, then the Chief Registrar and Letter Registrar, then the remaining executives and then the staff. Although the HCO Policy Letter of Dee 21, 1960 lays down equal amounts of auditing for each staff member, the rule was made before speed of SOP Goals clearing was established. The programme should be: I . Abolish all former staff auditing arrangements for persons who do not intend to stay with the Org any time (who are temporary and have balked at signing a year's contract). These go on List 3 below. 2. For a Central Org, make 2 lists of staff. List One is the Assn See (Org See), HCO Continental and/or Area See, the (c) of P, the Chief Registrar and the Letter Registrar. Make up List Two which consists of other executives and long term staff. Make up List Three of staff balance as below. Put an auditor on List One and rotate 121/2 hour intensives on it. Put another auditor on List Two and rotate 12YZ hour intensives on it. As you have deleted temporary staff members from List Two it is not too long a list. For the moment, pay these two auditors from units (but don't take their units back from other staff members). Make no charge to executives or staff members for their auditing who are on Lists One or Two. 3. Make List Three. This comprises all temporary staff. Permit them to have auditing when a staff auditor is idle, 12 1/2 hour intensives, meaning two intensives each time a staff auditor has no pcs. Temporary staff pay in half their units for the week they have a 12 1/2 hour intensive. LIST ONE The Assn (Org) See and others on the list may be audited on 121/2 hour intensives for which they do not pay or may be audited straight on up to release, whichever is best in the opinion of their auditor, depending on how far their case has gone and what state they are in. If the 121/2 hours are extended, it must be to another 12 1/2 hours. Other intensives for List One are put back that much. LIST TWO The persons on this list are rotated equally, regardless of where they have arrived. LIST THREE The persons on this list are rotated equally. 216 4. City Offices should have one staff auditor auditing staff, paid on units. Until the Assn Sec and Area Sec are Releases, they receive 12 1/2 hours per week every other week, and remaining staff take the remaining 12 1/2 hours in rotation. When a state of release is obviously attained by the Assn Sec and Area Sec they receive then their auditing in rotation with other staff. Now that we have easy releasing and faster clearing, let's take advantage of it and get principals and staff clear before the rush begins. AUDITORS MANDATORY A Central Org may not refuse to assign two auditors for Lists I and 2 and may not use these auditors for paying pcs. A City Office may not refuse to employ a staff staff auditor for auditing staff only, and may not use said auditor for outside pcs. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:ph.rd Copyright (c) 1961 by L.

Overall supervision of cases shall be done by Mary Sue Hubbard. All assignments to auditors, auditing rooms, auditing reports, book-keeping and time sheets, all files and administration of this programme shall be handled by the Technical Secretary. Anyone on staff, Scientologist or non-Scientologist, office or domestic staff may have auditing under this programme. Auditing is not compulsory. It must be requested by the person himself and the request routed to the Technical Secretary. Any certified auditor on staff, holding a certificate of Hubbard Professional Auditor or higher may act as a staff auditor to staff. Application must be made to the Technical Secretary. AUDITING FEES All auditing shall be free to the staff member. The staff member is not paid by us for receiving auditing. We will pay each auditor 7/6d per hour for every hour of auditing actually delivered providing it is delivered after working hours (9.00 a.m. - 5.30 p.m.) and on all weekends. Auditing delivered during working hours shall be unpaid. To be paid for auditing, the assignment must have been made by the Technical Secretary, must be signed on a regular Purchase Order Form by the auditor, the Technical Secretary and finally initialled, by myself, and a regular report of the session must be turned in to the Technical Secretary. PROCESSES The allowed processes of this auditing are only 1. Processing Security Checks, 2. locating goal and terminal, 3. Pre Hav Scale running and 4. engram running when specifically authorized by the Technical Secretary. All goals and terminals found must be verified by Mary Sue Hubbard before being run, or at her discretion, checked out by an auditor of her designation. An auditor doing checking will be paid for his time. The Technical Secretary working after hours will be paid for his time when devoted to this programme. It will be seen, then, that only processes leading directly to clearing are authorized. Assists are not authorized for this programme. REPORTS A special foldered file for each case being run will be kept by the Technical Secretary and will be retained in confidence in a locked file drawer, Each session report will be reviewed by the Technical Secretary, commented on and enclosed in the file. The file will be made available to the auditor before session and must be turned in at session end. The Technical Secretary also shall make a weekly progress report to me on cases being run. Accounts must be given by Thursday noon of each week all session purchase orders if they are to be paid that same week. Accounts shall file these purchase orders in the personnel pay folder of each auditor employed on this programme. The amounts shall be paid not as pay but as bonuses. SUMMARY This is an opportunity for auditors to earn bonus money and help Saint Hill. This is an opportunity for all staff members to get clear, using evenings and week-ends to be audited. They do not receive money or pay for being audited but will receive more lasting benefit in their lives, as witnessed by the stable gains now being made. LRH:jl.rd L.
