FREEZONE BIBLE ASSOCIATION TECH POST LRH EDs - THE BLUE VOLUMES - 23/28 ============================ This is the Second Foundation. Our purpose is to keep LRH's plan on track (ref: Asimov). CofS has gone off the rails. This is an announcement of our support of FZBA, Freezone, and The Pilot. We are posting the LRH EDs to make ammends for our long delay in taking action. ARC, PROGRAM DIRECTOR SECOND FOUNDATION ============================ LRH EDs - THE BLUE VOLUMES This is a complete copy of the "Original LRH EDs" or Blue Volumes as issued by Bridge in 1983. The full contents for all 28 parts posted is in part 1. The volumes were divided into the 3 numbering Series, and subdivided into the classes of EDs (INT = International, WW = World Wide, SH = Saint Hill, etc.) and placed in reverse order (latest first) within type. This was quite confusing because of some EDs being in multiple classes with different numbers in each class. We rearranged everything in date order (earliest first) to give a better historical perspective and make these easy to find by date. The original table of contents is included in part 2 and the original page numbers are in "[]" at the beginning of each ED. See IMB 5 in part 2 for an explanation of the 3 Series of ED numbers and a list of valid (but expired) EDs not included. See LRH ED 345 INT in part 28 for a list of cancelled LRH EDs that were not included. These are only the EDs that are in the Blue Volumes. ************************************************** FZBA STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Our purpose is to promote religious freedom and the Scientology Religion by spreading the Scientology Tech across the internet. The Cof$ abusively suppresses the practice and use of Scientology Tech by FreeZone Scientologists. It misuses the copyright laws as part of its suppression of religious freedom. They think that all freezoner's are "squirrels" who should be stamped out as heritics. By their standards, all Christians, Moslems, Mormons, and even non-Hassidic Jews would be considered to be squirrels of the Jewish Religion. The writings of LRH form our Old Testament just as the writings of Judiasm form the Old Testament of Christianity. We might not be good and obedient Scientologists according to the definitions of the Cof$ whom we are in protest against. But even though the Christians are not good and obedient Jews, the rules of religious freedom allow them to have their old testament regardless of any Jewish opinion. We ask for the same rights, namely to practice our religion as we see fit and to have access to our holy scriptures without fear of the Cof$ copyright terrorists. We ask for others to help in our fight. Even if you do not believe in Scientology or the Scientology Tech, we hope that you do believe in religious freedom and will choose to aid us for that reason.

[p. 173-6] L. Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 258 INT 17 January 1975 To: C/Os, EDs All Staff From: RON Subject: HOW YOU ARE LIMITING THE SIZE AND INCOME OF YOUR ORG Orgs vary in income but seem to be pegged or fixed. They seldom go above their own certain fixed high figure. As the 7 division org board can easily exceed $150,000 a week delivered service, I have looked into the "fixed income" scene to find the bottleneck. It did not take long to locate it. It is: Orgs limit their general expansion ~ failing to push and deliver top quality training of auditors, supervisors and C/Ses in volume. Amazing as it may seem, there has been actual heavy resistance to selling training. Reges will tell you they get more money by selling auditing. In one org the silly statement was made "the students just blow after a few weeks" (they had no supers and wouldn't use their tapes). In one org the students were taken off untrained and made to audit above their level as a constant practice. The International stat of Student Points has been drooping and has just drooped again lately. These data are pretty silly. BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DELIVER AUDITING WITHOUT TRAINED AUDITORS AND C/Ses. Probably the "secret" of how I could boom any org I was directly managing was that it never occurred to me that anyone would not train or mistrain auditors. Lots of people want to be auditors. Just survey any staff if you don't believe it. So an Academy or college can always be run right and can be full. At SH in its boom days we had around 198 students. They were co-auditing. And we also C/Sed all their co-audit folders. And this sure never stopped any HGC hours! It boomed them. It also doesn't take forever to train a student on a major course. One just goes about it, uses proper Study Tech, uses trained Supers, has Course Admins and all materials in plenty, no verbal tech and just does a good professional in-tech teaching job of it. Such a place runs like a clock, no effort. One doesn't change or add to his checksheets. One gets him through and lets him through. So if you try to run an org like a clinic, all pcs, and omit a big supply of good auditors and C/Ses, you'll peg your income, stay small, worry about inflation and staff pay, backlog, have an "ARC Broken field" and any other ill you can think of. So you have to run an on-policy Academy or college with a properly trained staff (and they can be trained and can do their job) and Reges willing to sign people up for training. Dept 11, Training, comes before 12, Processing on the org board. If you are not running a superb training activity that superbly and completely trains in volume you will never get in a real Dept 12. Splendid, in-tech org services, a field full of well trained auditors (and a good Div 6 and Div 2) are what give you your volume of delivery and GI and pay. Any org that is not concentrating on this is going to stay limited and fixed in its GI and delivery. The moment you really bust through this barrier of no real top notch fast training, your org will start to fly. PROGRAM (This Program is for the LRH Comm and does not supplant the KOT actions or FPGMO 193.) 1. Make this LRH ED known to every Exec. a. They have read it. b. They have no disagreements on it or disagreements they have handled. LRH COMM _____ 2. See the org Reges (those who do the regging and are guiding it) and get any and all reasons they do not sell training. LRH COMM _____ 3. Knock all these reasons in the head and get them to sell training and put in a sales talk on student co-auditing. LRH COMM _____ 4. See the Tech Sec and see what objections he may have to training or how it can't be smoothly done or any problems he is having. LRH COMM _____ 5. Invalidate any of the above by showing what one would do to overcome these barriers. Write him up a short pgm right there to handle. LRH COMM _____ 6. Get a copy of HCO PL 16 Mar 71 "What is a Course" and go see the D of T. Show him the PL and ask how many of the points are not in. LRH COMM _____ 7. Tell him on a TM order to get them in. LRH COMM _____ 8. See why, if it is not occurring, there is no regular student co-audit. Having found the reason - no Super? no students? no student C/S? D of T can't C/S? etc. - do a pgm to handle the point and give it to the KOT or if none, do it yourself (see HCO PL 8 June 70 Issue II Vol 4 pg 227 and other Vol 4 PLs). LRH COMM _____ 9. Find out from Div 2 and Div 6 any objections the public has to signing up for courses. LRH COMM _____ 10. See if these objections are valid inside the org. LRH COMM _____ 11. For those objections that are valid, do a short pgm to get them handled fast. LRH COMM _____ 12. For those objections that are not valid get the Dist Sec to do a PR pgm to change the public mind. LRH COMM _____ 13. Get the Dist Sec to activate his program and see it is completed. LRH COMM _____ 14. Get the KOT to do FPGMO 193 energetically. Or if post not filled LRH Comm to do it. LRH COMM _____ 15. Inspect the org and see if you have had any effect with actions thus far. If not, if no change, write a full report to me personally marked "LRH Only" so we can get the show on the road in your org. If you have made an advance, report it also. No PR, just hard facts. LRH COMM _____ 16. Do a campaign in your org, "If you had a 198 student Academy your full income would exceed $100,000 a week providing your supervisor and auditing tech was fully in." LRH COMM _____ 17. Interview the Tech Sec and find what might be lengthening courses. Dn Course 1 month. Acad levels 1 month each total. LRH COMM _____ 18. Do a pgm to get the course bugs that lengthen courses out and get the quality way up at the same time. Give it to the Tech Sec to get in with a T/M. LRH COMM _____ 19. When all above fully done and verified by you write me what you did that got the biggest gain in number of F/Ning students on course as actually demonstrated by course increased volume and shortened time. Mark it "LRH Only." Then, from this we can get an even greater upsurge. LRH COMM _____ YOUR OBJECTIVE IN ANY SCN ORG IS A MAINTAINED 200 FULLY PAID STUDENTS ROUTINELY ON COURSE TAKING SHORT PERIODS OF TIME TO GET THROUGH AND MOVING UP AND OUT THAT CAN REALLY C/S AUDIT AND SUPERVISE. L. RON HUBBARD Founder LRH:rs:bk =========================== 513 ED 258-1 INT 15 Mar 75 HOW YOU CAN INCREASE THE SIZE... [p. 168-72] L. Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 258-1 INT 15 March 1975 To: C/Os, EDs All Staff From: RON Subject: HOW YOU CAN INCREASE THE SIZE AND INCOME OF YOUR ORG Ref: LRH ED 258 INT LRH ED 258 INT began a wave of enthusiasm in selling and delivering Training. It was and is very popular. And no wonder since surveys show 68% of public want to be trained as Auditors! Knowledge means self trust. The LRH Comm is to: 1. Relog 258 and get all its targets in full swing again, patching up any that have dropped out. LRH COMM _____ 2. Have the C/O or ED get a Div 2 really functioning. C/O, ED _____ 3. Have the ED get a Div 6 really pouring the public in. C/O, ED _____ 4. Log HCO P/L 15 Mar 75 "Book Outlets of an Org" for each point mentioned in it and get the C/O or ED doing it. This will begin to pour in new public also. LRH COMM _____ 5. Beef up the new Public Courses and get SO ED 288RA INT and SO ED 288RA-1 INT fully in. TECH SEC _____ 6. Relog LRH ED 236 INT "Reg Pgm Number 2" and get the Reges closing. LRH COMM _____ 7. Cram a Reg for every failed close. QUAL SEC _____ 8. Drill the Reges on the following list of reasons to get trained so they know them well enough to slip in the one that works for that person. And sell that person on Training and sell him real Auditor Training. SUPERCARGO, HES _____ REASONS TO GET TRAINED These reasons or sales arguments were collected from experienced Reges who had had great success over the years in selling Training. SUCCESSFUL TRAINING ARGUMENTS 1. When a person is Trained, he has the know-how to handle all situations in life. This training is essential to build respect for one's self and others. 2. To help others go Clear and OT is why to train. 3. The advantages of Training are Professional expertise and know-how. 4. Training is cheaper than auditing, that IS an advantage. 5. An advantage to Training is that you can co-audit. 6. Whereas, in the process of Auditing, you delete charge from the being, only with Training does the being get the know-how. With this know-how, your integrity with others improves. 7. Training is 50% of the Route. 8. With Training, you can outflow the Technology to help others. This will build Respect, Trust and Integrity in YOU. 9. 50% is Auditing, 50% is Training and 50% is doing. You learn how to DO in Training. Thus Training is 100%. 10. Training is using Scientology, it allows one to help Clear the planet, it allows you to really get on the Bridge. 11. "In the end, you will be able to say YOU helped." 12. An advantage of Training is to know the Technology and handle life and livingness and increase your own personal well-being. 13. The un-trained one can be gotten out of the mess mankind is in, but the only way to stay out and make sure it doesn't happen again is ---- Get Trained. 14. Training puts one more at cause over aberration and aberrating influences. 15. Training makes the able more able. 16. Training enables one to get along far more successfully in life, thus you achieve a personal well-being. 17. Whereas Auditing handles past upsets, Training shows you how to handle things as they occur in present time. This Training adds enhancement to your personal well-being. 18. Training gives you understanding to the mysteries of life and the universe. 19. With Training, you can ensure that you won't get worse. 20. In Training, you get a real understanding of how the reactive mind works. 21. One should be an Auditor to be effective on all dynamics. 22. Auditors are the most valuable beings on the planet. 23. Training provides certainty on life and living. 24. With Training, you will get along with people better, this is because you are more of yourself when Trained. 25. Training stabilizes your gains by giving you the knowledge behind why Auditing makes you feel good. 26. Trained Auditors make the best Executives. 27. There's nothing like the feeling you've helped a person build his personal integrity and self resect. As a Trained Auditor, you helped. 28. You, as a Trained Auditor, have a floating needle every time the Pre-Clear does. A win for the PreClear is a win for the Auditor. 29. There are billions of pcs on this planet, be unique and be one of the few Auditors. 30. With Training, you can for the first time in millions of years, really do something about the condition of planet Earth. 31. One becomes at cause with Training, he has less frustration in life, and is happier as a result. Most people want to be happier, with Technical Training, you can be happier. 32. Training is the more economical route to Clear. 33. Training is the Route giving you 100% knowledge and application of Scientology Tech on both sides, Auditing and Training. 34. Being a pc, you can actually miss out on a lot, one half of your gains comes from Training ------ don't miss out on them. 35. To gain the experience and knowledge that a Thetan needs to be able to control his environment and abilities to their fullest. 36. You become more capable and able as a being once you know the mechanics and workings of the mind and how a Thetan reacts. You get all the knowledge on each subject or part you study. From that, you, yourself, can develop and increase your own abilities and therefore make tremendous gains by just study alone. You get data you can actually use in life. You make things happen for you which others would think miracles. 37. As a pc, you see one side of the reason why you have headaches or can't speak to people (or whatever) but have you ever wondered how it is that the Auditor knows how to get you to cognite why this is? Have you ever wondered why the mind was ever created? Have you ever wondered what ever happened to make the reactive bank stick with a being and control him? Have you ever wanted to control a situation, where there was confusion and many random particles -- and you found your efforts were not successful? Well, when you know the mechanics of the mind and the powers of a Thetan with the Technical data of how to handle, such situations are easily handled in your day to day experiences. 38. To really become OT, it is necessary to know HOW the Tech works as well as WHY. You get this knowledge only through Training. 39. LRH can't do it all himself, he needs you to assist him. 40. In order to fully understand the Thetan, Mind and Body, YOU need training. 41. In order to get the level of competence, awareness, cause level, (etc.) you desire, YOU must duplicate all LRH has written. To know what LRH has written in his Policy and Bulletins and Courses, to apply this in full, you increase your abilities. 42. Start getting out of life all those things you deserve - Get Trained. 43. With Training, you learn how to help others live a better life. 44. With Training, you learn to get along with others. 45. Scientology provides you with a workable philosophy of life. 46.

But more importantly, Training gives you the means to live a life of understanding. 51. You really can't Clear the Planet or bring it any lasting betterment, unless you have Ron's Technology and use it. 52. If you've ever felt like being able to do something and produce an excellent result, here's your opportunity --- take the Training Route. 53. Training is permanent. 54. With Training, when the chips are down, you're still at cause. 55. Ron is an Auditor. 56. The Technology is valuable, if you have nothing else, with Scientology Technology you can survive and achieve your goals with regard to knowledge of self. 57. With Training, you've got an increased value to society, as a person with high personal integrity. 58. Training provides the exchange of help. You can't make it on dynamic one only. Look at this example: One must be able to balance inflow with outflow. Half the case gain is in Training. Training is positive rather than negative gain. 59. If you take the Training Route, you are a better Auditor at Solo levels. You have more and faster case gain, if you know the material, you have the satisfaction of auditing, and the value of Training in life and livingness. 60. Training gives positive gain from Training contrasted with the negative gain from Auditing. 61. With Training, YOU can audit someone and make them sane. 62. You owe it to yourself, (to get Trained) it is the sane investment in the long run. 63. It takes a person with responsibility to Train. 64.

Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 259 INT 16 March 1975 < Corrected 17 March 1975 > To: All Staff All Continents including Europe From: RON Subject: A CALL FOR 100,000 AUDITORS, C/Ses AND SUPERVISORS AND 10.000 OTs BY 13 MAR 1976 Ref: LRH ED 153RF INT Org Conditions Stat LRH ED 258 INT How You Are Limiting the Size and Income of Your Org < LRH ED 258-I INT How You Can Increase the Size and Income of Your Org > LRH ED 120R INT Auditors Association Project in Your Area Every Class IV and Forming Org org in the world is set a target of 1000 paid, active, fully trained Auditors, C/Ses and Supervisors in its field by 13 Mar 1976. SHs' targets are 1000 paid, fully trained Class VI to IX Auditors, HSSTs and HPCSCs for its whole area. AO targets are 3333 new OTs for their areas. There are 101 Orgs, Forming Orgs and City Offices. By allocating this target of 1000 to every org it is not only possible to bring about 100,000 active Auditors, C/Ses and Supervisors, it is attainable in one year. By allocating 3333 OTs to every AO, this target as well becomes attainable. Why do we want these Auditors, C/Ses and Supervisors? The society is on its way out. Psychology is a discredited subject. Psychiatry even knows it has failed. Crime is tearing countries apart. People have ceased to wholly trust themselves or others. These hard facts are the result of sweeping public surveys. The only people who can bail them out and put a new civilization here are Auditors, C/Ses, Supervisors, the trained Administrators of orgs and OTs. 68% want to be Auditors. They want to help others. The opposition to Scientology is crumbling to dust across the world. It is time we began to Clear this planet! We have surveys. We have programs to come. We have the tech. Nothing like us has ever happened before on this planet. So here we go. WHAT ORG WILL BEAT THE REST? Here is your game for this year! DEFINITIONS A paid trained HSDC qualifies for a Forming Org or City Office, if it trained him. A paid, fully trained, ACTIVE HSDC Class IV or XDn Auditor or a Dn or Class IV or XDn C/S or an HPCSC qualifies for a Class IV Org. A paid, fully trained, ACTIVE Class V or Class VI or Class VII or Class VIII or Class IX Auditor or an HSST or an HPCSC for SH supervision quality qualifies for an SH. A person who has attined Clear and any OT Grade qualifies for an AO. An Auditor, C/S or Supervisor who is rehabilitated to being active such as by an Auditor Rehab List or retread or retrain and becomes active thereby qualifies. Active means engaging in Scientology full or part time in an Org, Forming Org, City Office, Franchise or individually in the field. Fully trained means certified by an org and able to bring about the results of his Class or Certificate. To claim credit for an active Auditor, the org must have trained him or brought him back to activity. So that's the game and that's what's needed. Don't forget to sell Auditing. Remember, this is our Planet. 100,000 Auditors, C/Ses and Supervisors and 10,000 OTs by 13 March AD26. START! L. RON HUBBARD Founder LRH:nt:bk =========================== 515 ED 262 INT 5 Jun 75 ...TECH DICTIONARY... [p. 163-5] L. Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 262 INT 5 June 1975 TO: All Staff All Students FROM: RON SUBJECT: THE DIANETICS AND SCIENTOLOGY TECH DICTIONARY ANOTHER NEW BOOK THIS YEAR! On the 14th of June the first copies of THE TECH DICTIONARY WILL BE IN THE MAILS TO ORGS! It is COMPLETE! IT WAS FIVE YEARS IN THE MAKING! IT CONTAINS over 3,000 Dianetic and Scientology WORDS AND 7,000 definitions! FULLY DEFINED! Every book, tape and bulletin ever published, millions of written and spoken words, were combed for Dianetic and Scientology words and definitions and then checked and rechecked. It is a hard cover book, big, 6 5/8 by 9 1/4 inches, 592 pages! It is beautifully printed and beautifully bound. Here is a wealth of knowledge all by itself! Things are defined that Man searched for for 50,000 years. This project was first begun by myself about ten years ago and many attempts were made to assemble full archives and a competent staff. Then in 1970, thanks to Guardian Office and Archives projects, the work could begin in earnest. And now it is all there and complete! And printed and available to you and all students. **** This will make a very great difference in speed of study. Student misunderstandings of Dianetics or Scientology Technical Terms have led to verbal tech and slow course progress. Because of the great size of the task and the necessity that it be done right it took a long time to make it come true. This will make the difference between few auditors and many auditors, a difference between average auditors and great auditors. **** The task of compiling it was rendered even more difficult because every word of every definition had to be taken from the original LRH writing or tape as well as every LRH later clarifications of definition (which are all included in the book along with the word). No personal opinion by the researchers was admitted into the text. The definitions are all of them LRH definitions. Thus, the chances of running across a Dianetic or Scientology Technical word that is not fully defined in this dictionary is extremely remote. It is a MUST for any staff member or student or Dianeticist or Scientologist. Clearing up any past Mis Us will blow charge like an explosion of relief or a sunbeam of cognition. THIS BOOK MAKES DIANETICS AND SCIENTOLOGY THE ONLY PHILOSOPHY, RELIGION OR SCIENCE TO HAVE A FULL DICTIONARY OF ALL ITS TERMS. ANOTHER FIRST! **+* The Dianetic and Scientology Tech Dictionary staff were: Alethiea C.

In a tabulation from FOLOs as to what was getting up stats, the following was confirmed: 1. LRH ED 153RI. 2. LRH EDs 258, 258-1 and 259-1RA. 3. Excellent coordination at FOLO levels. 4. Excellent direction from Flag. 5. Training, hatting and cramming of Network juniors by the FOLOs. 6. Instant debugs of the orgs by FOLOs. EUROPE Europe is on another program than the above. The LRH EDs written especially for Europe in 74 were put back in by a Flag eval of Nov. and the Continent has been soaring into POWER. These LRH EDs were very basic and related especially to EU. AUDITORS Now that we are making auditors again Well Done Auditing Hours is beginning to resurge. We need those 100,000 auditors over the world. And we are making them. Why? Because we want more active auditors than there are practicing psychiatrists and psychologists in the world. Psychiatry has admittedly failed. Psychology never got started. So here we go on to bigger and better things all around on all dynamics. A Highly Commended to every staff member and Scientologist who is getting the show on the road so splendidly. L.

Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 271 INT 2 January 1976 TO: ACTION BU ALL FOLOs FBOs GOWW DGFs AGFs TREAS SECS DGLs AGLs FROM: RON SUBJECT: MISSION EXPENSES LETTER OF CREDIT Hereafter, no FBO or Office of any kind including FOLOs or the GO may contract for any expense including legal or mission on behalf of Flag without full PO and FP by Flag. The practice of obligating Flag for expenses or issuing monies on its behalf without its express PO and FP must cease. To expedite Flag missions, FBOs may only advance monies to Flag missionaires against a FLAG LETTER OF CREDIT. A "letter of credit", as a term, is found in banking practice. A bank issues them and a person holding one can go to another bank somewhere else and draw out money against the letter of credit. The letter of credit is issued for expenses up to a certain sum. When money is issued, in addition to usual bank procedures, the sum is debited on the back of the letter of credit with a signature of the cash issuing bank. We will follow this same practice except that Flag Treasury is the issuer and org FBOs are the banks that give out the funds and debit them on the back. Treasury Flag Bureau will issue on request of the Action Aide against allocated sums for which a PO may be issued. Only small travel petty cash and tickets may be drawn by the departing mission and they will be given their Flag Letter of Credit. The amount will be estimated against the length of time the mission should be out and with minimal expenses connected with room, food and transport and local petty cash. The FULL sum is shown on the face of the letter of credit. The first tickets and petty cash are issued against it and it is debited for those by the Flag Cashier, so when you see one it will already show some debits. Do not issue the full face value of it at any time. It is drawn against weekly or at more frequent intervals. But it must NEVER EXCEED, as it is added up on the back, THE FULL AMOUNT ON THE FACE. If the missionaires were to draw out the full amount on the front while they still have a mission to finish they would be bankrupt. Therefore FBOs are warned to treat these letters of credit carefully and not issue funds against any extravagance as their org will then have to support them at its own cost. ANYONE IN ORGS ADVANCING MONEY OR COMMITTING FLAG TO EXPENSES WITHOUT A FLAG PO OR FP, INCLUDING LEGAL EXPENSES, TRAVEL AND, IN THE CASE OF MISSIONS, WITHOUT A LETTER OF CREDIT WILL BEAR THE EXPENSE THEMSELVES. (The reason for this ED is that just at the end of the year $40,000 in unknown legal expenses, $16,000 in non-POed airfares and $190,000 in unpaid FBO bills descended into Flag's "FP" and in early December the late finance executives expended a third of a million dollars frantically and without advising anyone in a frantic effort to pay off other hidden bills incurred without FP "on Flag's behalf". All this descended on my plate and I'm not even an executive or director. It's all covered and our credit is great. BUT we are starting 1976 right.) L.

Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 276 INT 12 March 1976 TO: ALL STAFF ALL CONTINENTS FROM: RON A CALL FOR 100,000 AUDITORS, C/Ses AND SUPERVISORS AND 10,000 OTs We have certainly made progress toward our goals of auditors, C/Ses and supervisors and OTs. As of March 13, 1976, 66% of all our current active auditors, C/Ses and supervisors were trained and made active in the last year! The total figure of active auditors, C/Ses and supervisors has increased by 250% compared against figures at the time 259 was written! Along with this tremendous production, quality of training has gone way up. There are new Orgs, new Forming Orgs, and new City Offices. Broad promotion and booksales actions have produced fantastic results in public response. You have worked very hard and have come a long way indeed. We are going to go a lot farther and all it takes is more teamwork and on-policy production. You must meet those targets set out in LRH ED 259 Int. The reasons why are the same. Society sure hasn't gotten any better--only we have. With trained auditors, supervisors, C/Ses and OTs we can put in a new civilization that isn't on its way out. Therefore: THE CALL FOR 100,000 AUDITORS, C/Ses AND SUPERVISORS AND 10,000 OTs IS EXTENDED UNTIL 13 MARCH 1977. We have everything we need to do it. There are programs coming to help in meeting the target. The rules are as given in LRH ED 259 which remains fully in effect. That IS our game. I AM PROUD OF YOUR WORK ON THIS. CARRY ON! L.

Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 284 INT 16 September 1976 To: ALL STAFF ALL CONTINENTS From: RON Subject: THE SOLUTION TO INFLATION For many years now our donations have remained at a set figure. In actual fact we have not substantially changed our price list in a quarter of a century. In that same period of time, the economy of the world has been the subject of inflation repeatedly and continually. Money is worth less and less and buys less and less. Inflation in the United States is approximately 9X for many commodities. In the United Kingdom inflation is nearly three times as bad. Wishing to give all possible service, we have not changed our set donation figures. Yet the cost of furnishing those services has staggeringly increased. This situation is working a great hardship on our staffs as individuals; it is reflected in the sometimes poor image of an org's quarters. And it can and in some cases has influenced the quality of delivery. Therefore at this time, we have no choice but to adjust set donation figures. But to do so suddenly would work great hardship on and deny those services to our public and parishloners. Until a recent study was complete there was no solution other than a sudden and huge price rise. Fortunately I have found a solution which avoids this. Accordingly, henceforth, beginning at midnight 31 October 1976 the requested donations of all services, books, meters, courses and processing, will increase 5%. On 30 November 1976 at midnight, all these prices will be increased 5% over October. In the United Kingdom, however, where the level of donations was already only half that of other parts of the world for each item and service, the increase will be 10% per month. Thereafter, at midnight on the last day of each month, the expected donations will increase 5% over the past month. The formula for calculating the price or donation for any month for any item or service for any continent and any currency is simply to multiply the prices of the past month by 1.05 (1.10 for UK) and this will give the amounts for the following month. Where any service or item is FULLY paid for in any month but not taken until some later time. it will be delivered at the price paid for it. In view of HCO P/L 26 June 1963, HCO P/L 31 Oct 1964 Issue II and HCO P/L 1 Sept 1965, Missions are bound not to charge less than orgs do, whereas they can charge more. Thus Missions must also follow this procedure. Saint Hills and Advanced Orgs must also follow this procedure. For the moment the Flag Service Org does not have to follow this policy but may do so at a later date. All persons donating for services should be given the full reasons for this slight increase: so that our staffs can live, so that we can take better care of our buildings and so that we can give better service. L. RON HUBBARD FOUNDER for the BOARDS OF DIRECTORS of the CHURCHES OF SCIENTOLOGY BDCS:LRH:nt:bk NOTE: Through the period 3 July 1977 to 1 February 1981 there were several additions to this issue. As they applied only to prices for this time period, and are therefore not lasting (timeless advices) they are not included in this pack. =========================== 523 ED 285 INT 26 Sep 76 LRH COMMS AND FRs AS... [p. 150-2] L. Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 285 INT 26 September 1976 To: FLAG BUREAUX FOLOs ALL EXECS From: RON Subject: LRH COMMS AND FRs AS ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION EXECUTIVES I have just found the why of the contraction of some orgs. It is important to every org as well as the FB and FOLOs. It was inferred in the Board Policy Letter 31 August 1974 Issue II Series, further revised 12 Dec 74, that one had to prove a compliance to a program by showing the stats for an LRH Comm stat to be valid. This began to put LRH Comms directly on the org's main stats. In BPL 16 Sept 75 the point is very blunt. It says, "FOR A COMPLIANCE VERIFICATION TO BE CREDITED THERE MUST BE AN UPSURGE IN THE STAT TO WHICH THE LRH PROGRAM IS ADDRESSED." The Flag Reps in orgs soon followed suit. The result of all this in actual practice was to put the LRH Comm and the Flag Rep, in many orgs, directly onto production debugs. Thus two networks were made into additional production executives. Each org had, in effect, three EDs or COs on production. This of course made it completely unnecessary for an org to have an HES or an OES or the equivalent executives as their duties, in a sort of mish-mashed way, were being done by the LRH Comm and Flag Rep in many cases. In WUS the two upper executive posts simply vanished and any attempt to straighten out the lines found the EDs and COs suddenly realizing they were missing some product officers. For some time past it has been believed that if you put the LRH Comm back on LRH orders and establishment and the Flag Rep back on the org's program, stats would crash. And this is observably true BECAUSE THE LRH COMMS AND FLAG REPS HAVE IN MANY INSTANCES BEEN ACTING SOLELY AS ORG PRODUCT OFFICERS. Thus some orgs have contracted in size since many vital establishment actions and org programs went relatively unheeded. The result has been crops of "PTSes" who were never handled (and sometimes blew), no HCOs with resultant out ethics and personnel shortages, untrained staffs and org evaluations either non-existent or undone. In other words, the proper balance of organization and production was thrown out. It is amusing that some EDs complained about the Networks ripping off their best staff when in actual fact the EDs, FOLOs and FB (following policy written by somebody else and never seen by me) were ripping off the LRH Comm and FR Networks! A state of affairs has now come about wherein an effort to straighten these lines out and get the orgs established and evaluated org programs out & done is in some orgs resulting in a stat crash. There are a lot of things in some orgs that need handling: personnel, staff training, de-PTSing, reconstruction of the form of the org department by department. Org in-tech delivery needs increasing. Org income with resultant higher units, bonuses and facilities needs great improvement. What we are going to do right now is contained in the following general program: 1. Every LRH Comm who has been acting as a product officer in an org is to continue those actions, while finding and training a replacement who can be posted as a D/ED (or D/CO) for Production. LRH COMM _____ 2. Every Flag Rep who has been acting as a product officer in an org is to continue these actions, while finding and training a replacement as a Deputy Deputy ED (or DD/CO) for Production.

Where no Flag Rep exists in the org one is to be found and appointed. HAS _____ 7. The FB may continue to use the LRH Comm and Flag Rep Networks to debug production in any org until the above targets have been done in that org, at which time the line will be shifted to the replacement by new title. CO FB _____ 8. The CO FOLO, Continental LRH Comms, Org Managers and A/FRs may continue to demand production actions and debugs from LRH Comms and Flag Reps in addition to the EDs until the replacement comes on in each individual org and until the replacement takes over at which time for that org the Flag-FOLO-Org line will come off the LRH Comm and Flag Rep line for production and will revert for that org to the proper duties of the LRH Comm and the Flag Rep. FOLO CONT'L LRH COMM, CS-7 AND A/FFR FLAG AND FRs _____ 9. The D/ED (D/CO) for Production in an org is to specialize on debugging and obtaining products in Divisions 7, 1 and 2.

Ron Hubbard EXECUTIVE DIRECTIVE LRH ED 289 INT 16 November 1976 To: ALL EXECS AND STAFFS From: RON Subject: GENERAL BRIEFING ON MY CURRENT ACTIONS In the past few months I have been engaged in several orgs and continental areas on expanding our activities. This has consisted of accumulating data, doing numerous evaluations, finding and handling numerous outnesses and in general getting the show on the road. A general briefing of execs and staffs is in order so that planning and follow through can be coordinated in the various areas. The successes of these actions are already making themselves felt in terms of HE Planetary GIs and other benefits and we are not just moving into a new ball game, we are moving into a whole new ball park according to results coming in on some of the earlier actions taken. I am not including here the lengthy data and whys as that would make this briefing far, far too long. From this brief summary, you can however, see what is going on and where we are going so that you can back it up. Following are the most important handlings which will affect, one way or another, you or your org. 1. INFLATION: World inflation has increased to such a degree that we have had to act. However, sudden rises in prices in the past have been followed by stat crashes. I finally worked out SOLUTION TO INFLATION, LRH ED 284 INT. This is a progressive price rise. Using it and "Buy Now" has sent GIs spiraling. In each successive month "Buy Now" can be used and must be used in order to prevent a stat collapse. As this is also creating a huge backlog in delivery, another campaign has been telexed out to "Get your service now and avoid the later rush." Call-in terminals must be FAR more active than at any time in the past in order to get this backlog cleaned up and kept cleaned up. Lack of staff to clean it up is the subject of other plans. The point is that "BUY NOW" and "TAKE YOUR SERVICE NOW TO AVOID THE RUSH" are continuing campaigns which must be in from here on out. Any org not using these is likely to remain dinky and troubled. 2. LRH COMMS AND FRS ON PRODUCTION: The LRH Comm and FR Networks have constantly been pulled into production and whenever an effort was made to get them on their own posts, stats went down. This is being handled by LRH ED 285 INT, LRH COMMS AND FRs AS ADDITIONAL PRODUCTION EXECUTIVES. The deadline on this is 31 Dec 76 and as that date is near and as a fine begins for orgs after that date, a heavy push to get it done must be going forward right now. 3. INADEQUATE TECH: I noticed on a telex line that the Student Hat and the Basic Study Manual were either-or mini courses that must be done before any major course. This resulted in dropping out the Student Hat in orgs over the last few years and led to the bulk of the technical trouble some orgs have been having with new students. Unless a student has done the Student Hat there certainly isn't much chance of him learning anything. The Basic Study Manual is all right for mini courses and schools but it is certainly not okay for a major Scn Course. BOARD POLICY LETTER 18 OCT 76 was written as a result. It was always practice to give away the Student Hat as a one time action for any major course. Someone knew best and changed this. Right now it can be used that the Student Hat is free with any major course on a one time basis. As further correction, in new Interneships it will be required that the interne do the Student Hat first if he has never done it. This will catch up and handle the misunderstood word phenomena that has been plaguing some orgs. 4. PTS HANDLING: I found that Potential Trouble Source handling has mysteriously vanished over a two year period. This came up when it was found that a Tech exec had misdone an order to put rundowns on the grade chart and, of all things, had put PTS handling along with Expanded Dianetics! This of course blocked routine HCO and other handling of PTSes and pcs as they "had to wait until they got to Expanded Dianetics" to get their PTS handled. This caused HGCs and even staffs to flood with PTSes which are actually handled on their PTSness FIRST and then audited. Fortunately the printers were able to get my HCOB into the new HCOB Volumes (Vol VIII pg 427-A) so the error would not be perpetuated by the XDn HCOB which was rewritten to include it. I also did a pilot on handling by getting some auditors trained on the BPL (it took them about two weeks) and getting them to handle some PTSes and then taking the same number of PTSes and making them simply study the materials on the checksheet. The results of these have been published as HCOB 20 Oct 76 and are very illuminating indeed. The conclusion was that a person who is "PTS" should be audited and ALSO should then study the checksheet: this was issued as HCO PL 20 Oct 76 and will also be issued as an HCOB. Using BPL 31 May 71RC, getting some auditors trained on it and the PTSes rounded up is now cleaning orgs and field of PTSes. It was quite a backlog! 5. FSO DELIVERY: The FSO was backlogging in delivery and I had to intervene. A very flat out campaign was begun wherein all auditors in the org (there were many of very high class) were rapidly updated in Qual, polished up and put in the chair and a mammoth call-in was begun. This was done in such a way that even FSO Tech Quality was upgraded when it was already high. The Value of Services Delivered soared to all time highs and not only was new and old public swarming in and getting large amounts of daily service but the FSO had, of all things, some idle auditors left over! These were restored to post while delivery continued to soar and auditor recruitment and training were also beefed up. So FSO was made to begin to earn repute for INSTANT DELIVERY! (I made it very plain to the FSO that an All Hands can go on for just so long without breaking the back of an org, and their procurement and other actions to get plenty of auditors in and polished up is nearly as intense as getting in pcs!) 6. PRODUCT OFFICERING: I found earlier this year that pushing products was often complicated by some execs in that they did not really name, want and get their products and wrote HCO PL 7 August 76 Issue I, Issue II and Issue III. This is the beginning of a long series which will gradually place the Product-Organization (Prod-Org) System into PL form. The bulk of the system is already on tape and is known to most execs. 7. STAT PUSHING: There has been quite a bit of "stat pushing", meaning just yelling for the stat with no attention to what it takes to get one. I recently wrote HCO PL 20 Sept 76 THE STAT PUSH, which was quite well received & a second PL giving the real tech on how to set Production Quotas. There is nothing wrong with demanding production and doing it providing both the demander and doer have some idea of how to go about getting it. It is the SUB-PRODUCTS you have to know and know how to get! (See WCO PL 16 Nov 76.) 8. PROVISIONAL CERTIFICATE EXPIRY: The Provisional Certificates of persons who have taken only the Academy Course, by policy and tradition, expire after one year unless validated. As the procedures of validation have become obscure, it was necessary to release HCO PL 25 October 76 which sets the policy that an Interneship may be and must be taken to reactivate the certificate. This means that there are vast numbers of certificates which have just expired and which will require Interneships. 9. INTERNESHIPS: As a result of a tech observation mission (which was a beautiful mission and sent stats up wherever it went) Interneships have been under overhaul for some months. It was found by alter-is by others, Interneship checksheets were making people repeat their Academy Courses and had checksheets within checksheets and made an endless scene. A mission already in an org and another one I just requested are finishing up these checksheets and they should be leaving Flag in a week or so. Although students on Interneships are also covered by the fact that changes in checksheets on a person already on a course are forbidden, I think in this case that students who are already on Interneships will welcome the shift to a shorter checksheet. Honors students who audited for Directors of Processing need sorting out on this but in most cases should do an Interneship to polish up their tech application for their own sakes. All orgs are being urged to get ahead with these Interneships. AOLA has been granted the right to conduct Interneships at all levels as well as give the Class VIII Course. AOLA Interneships for all classes from Dianetics on up will award a SILVER CERTIFICATE to auditors who Interne at AOLA. 10. COURSE SUPERVISORS: Recognizing that Course Supervisors are fully as important as senior auditors, I sought some means of upgrading their status. HCO PL 24 Oct 76 Issue II gives the necessary qualifications for a Course Supervisor to become a Professor. All qualifications can be attained in one's own org. 11. SENIOR CASE SUPERVISORS: For some time it has been difficult for orgs to obtain Senior Case Supervisors due to requirements making it necessary for the person to be trained lengthily elsewhere. HCO PL 24 Oct 1976 Issue III puts it in the reach of any experienced auditor in any org by making the training for it possible within one's own org. 12. DEAN OF TECHNOLOGY: As Class VIIIs have usually been the Senior C/Ses in orgs, it has been necessary to find a new level of designation for such senior auditors. As a result HCO PL 24 Oct 76 Issue III gives the qualifications of a GOLD CERTIFICATE CASE SUPERVISOR and the title DEAN OF TECHNOLOGY and the powers of the title and post. It will be noted that orgs who have one as well as Silver Certificate Auditors will have a considerable edge in closing pcs, just as an org whose Course Supervisors are Professors will have the edge in closing training. 13. HCO AND QUAL GDS CHANGES: The Interchanges I have had recently with COs and EDs showed very clearly that almost all of them were having recruitment, hiring and staff training troubles. Since active recruiting and hiring (and failure to handle PTSes) was neglected over the last two and a half years and some contracts were expiring it looked to a few of these heads of orgs like they were losing their best staff. Well, contracts are always expiring and when recruitment and hiring has been in neglect it can make a startling cliff edge suddenly beheld. Seeing this I worked out two new stats which take effect 25 Nov 76 and will be reported for the first time 2 Dec 76. These are both GROSS DIVISIONAL STATISTICS. They are both point systems and get straight to the root of the matter. HCO's is "Number of qualified staff recruited or hired for that week" and Qual's GDS becomes "Fully qualified and trained staff members in the org, cumulative". These are intended to get any Counter Intention to recruiting and hiring and training staff off the lines by making it vividly visible on the stats that are most seen and used and by which COs, EDs and orgs are known -- the GDSes. It should be noted and is the subject of a later PL that what: "qualified" means to HCO recruiters and means to Qual trainers are two entirely different things. For the moment HCOs can sign up and count anyone who is not a flagrant criminal or a declared Suppressive or a blown staff member etc. (See PL 11 Nov 76.) HCO qualifications for different org levels will eventually be published. Qual's qualified means exactly what it says in the FL. The points and other data are given in HCO PL 4 Nov 76. 14. LRH COMM NETWORK: The purpose of this Network is being changed to something on the order of "To prevent LRH from being pulled into single-handing by neglect of proper management." That isn't it precisely but it gives you the idea. The International HQ of this network will be removed to a distance from the FB and will serve as a channel to catch and handle neglected situations in orgs so they don't come knocking on my door at 2 AM with long shiny teeth. I will not be at or near that HQ. It will be under CS-7. Although this is largely in a design stage, actions are already in progress to situate it and set it up along with an LRH Comm School. Its pattern of organization will be somewhat similar to the Guardian Office but it will not be HQed in the same place. The GO is at WW and the Int LRH Comm Office will be at the office of the directors of the Church. This change does not mean I will be there singlehanding. It means it will be elsewhere getting me off the necessity to occasionally do so. 15. FLAG OPERATIONS LIAISON OFFICES: FOLOs will shortly have LRH ED 153RK to go on. It has taken a pilot and a lot of research to work out better FOLO operations. The material is already here but I have to get it written up. 16. RON'S JOURNALS: You will soon get individual org and broad public RJs. They will be in cassette form, stereo. LRH PERS PRO will alert you any day now about it. You will have to do some preparatory work for it to be properly utilized, including renting or obtaining a high quality stereo cassette player and excellent quality stereo speakers. With the preparation you will get crowds and with the equipment you will get the full value of the recording quality (which will be excellent and deserves decent speakers). 17. THE NEW GAME: You have been wondering what the new game will be. You now have it in LRH ED 288 INT. Someone tried to continue the old game by putting my name on LRH ED 259-1RC and I had it cancelled. The occasional practice of putting my name on issues I didn't write or even see has now been very thoroughly forbidden. It was amusing to note that these mis-signed issues were the only unpopular ones on the line! It follows right along the line of all the other work I have been doing. And that many of you are now doing. Telexes are pouring in from EDs on LRH ED 288 and the New Game has begun with a rocket take off. So anyway, consider yourself somewhat briefed. If it seems like a lot, realize it's just backlog I have had to catch up all in a moment. It does seem that some can go along for months or even years neglecting some sit they had plenty of time to spot and handle when it began and then suddenly it roars on up the org board and I have about ten minutes to get the data and resolve it before it blows some people's heads off. Ah, well, such is life on this planet. But then, I don't do too badly with single-handing and I sure must say that I get support from one end of this world to the other like flash. You are really great guys and I appreciate you. Love, Ron L. RON HUBBARD Founder LRH:nt:gal ===========================
