If the student passes, HCO Board of Review prepares an authorized certificate with the student's name and presents it to LRH on HCO Comm lines, for the signature "L. Ron Hubbard, Founder". No written examination for any one grade may be repeated within 120 days of the last examination. Thus a student who flunks an HCO Board of Review exam cannot be reexamined for 120 days. There is no limit to the number of examinations he can have. And the failure of a training agency to have the papers complete (HCO Board of Review having to send them back) does not invoke the 120 day clause. In examining the HCO Board of Review should be real, not pedantic. Good TRs, good command of processes for the level, good axioms and theory should pass a student. But to establish these HCO Board of Review needn't examine all day and all night. If the student flunks a few TRs, why go on? He's dead if he ever tries to audit. Why pass him or even examine further? In case of failure, the HCO Board of Review may advise processing or more training but may not say where the training or processing. is to be taken or how much it will cost. These items are all outside of HCO Board of Review purview. On testing for clear, the same principles are followed. If the pc reads wrong on the meter, why go on to an OCA or APA or IQ test? If HCO Board of Review says it's a flunk, that's usually that. The only appeal is to HCO See to LRH and its doubtful if this will produce any change of decision. When the person has passed his exam, HCO makes up the certificate for him, forwards it to LRH and sends it back to the original HCO Board of Review giving the exam. This HCO Board of Review gives the certificate straight to the student, not via a training agency or corporation. The wording on all certificates is specified by HCO main headquarters. They can be locally printed but only on okay from LRH. An HAS certificate doesn't pass through HCO Board of Review, but all others do. It is interesting that the signature of L. Ron Hubbard, Founder on certificates has been deeded over to HCO and "after demise" will still remain, but in seal form, the validating signature on a certificate. Thus these various lines of awarding will not be disrupted and the institution of HCO and HCO Board of Review are here to stay for a long, long while. HCO Boards of Review are necessary in every area where training is done. They can only exist where HCO has enfranchised the local operation with exact rights to the materials of Dianetics and Scientology. HCO Board of Review is established by written appointment by LRH. It has existed on verbal consent in the past but written appointment is now necessary. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:mp.eden 118 HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE 37 Fitzroy Street, London W. I HCO POLICY LETTER OF 28 FEBRUARY 1959 Issued in Washington HCO BOARD OF REVIEW DUTIES Academies are poorly informed of HCO Board of Review duties and responsibilities. It is the added responsibility of the HCO Board of Review anywhere to educate the Academy Personnel into functions and responsibilities of HCO Bd of Review and how it differs from the Academy. CERTIFICATE ROUTING Student hands or mails all papers, reports, etc, to Academy Administrator (or Extension Course Director as indicated). All student folders are accompanied by a check sheet listing all items needed for certificate. When total folder is collected to the level of certification, Acad Admin (Certification) sends complete folder to HCO Bd of Review. HCO Bd of Review okays student for certification, (or refuses in which case Acad Admin completes folder again and resubmits) and sends folder back with its check sheet initialed by HCO Bd of Review. Acad Admin (Certification) then has certificate prepared. Certificate with completed check sheet is sent to LRH Founder for signature. Acad Admin holds the folder itself. LRH Founder signs certificate (or refuses at which time whole process is repeated) and returns to Acad Admin (Certification). The HCO Bd of Review is often composed of one or two part time staff auditors working on off hours for HCO and in and under control of HCO or one or more full time expert Scientologists who have served as staff auditors and instructors and who work full time for HCO. The basis of HCO Bd of Review authority lies in the basic functions of HCO. These are Ethics, Technology and Awards. Ethics and Technology are otherwise cared for than by the HCO Bd of Review. Awards are wholly the function of the HCO Bd of Review. No corporation, company, association or foundation has ever been given the right to sign or issue Dianetics and Scientology awards. The only thing which makes these certificates valid is the signature. The association, etc, name has no value in the public eye except as signed by LRH. If LRH stopped signing an organization's certificates tomorrow that organization could no longer issue awards of skill and the matter would be upheld in court by reason of trademarks, registered marks and copyrights. Therefore the authority wielded by the HCO Bd of Review is quite real. Its stable datum is "We guarantee to LRH that his signature attests proper training and processing". Administratively when the HCO Bd of Review passes a student for a level of skill or a pc for clear, it is saying, in effect, to LRH, "You can safely sign" and to the public, "You can trust the person who holds this award". 119 It is also an old principle that the people who train cannot also examine. Therefore an Academy or a HASI or another organization enfranchised by the HCO (which grants all actual rights to use materials to such organisations in the first place) has no right to examine. It can only train to the level specified by HCO. It is then up to the HCO through its HCO Bd of Review to examine and see if the standard is met. If it is, the HCO Bd of Review says "Ron, you can safely sign" and gives LRH the certificate to be signed. The training agency cannot do more than train. It cannot order a student to more processing. It can only collect all the class work, papers, lessons and indicate that the student is ready for examination. It sends the papers to HCO Bd of Review. If these papers are complete, (indicated by a check list prepared by HCO) HCO then calls for the student directly, not via the Academy, and administersoral exams where feasible and written exams always. What HCO Bd of Review does to guarantee that the requirements as laid down in the HCO Bulletins or Policy Letters have been met and that the person can perform the required skills is its own business. If the papers are not complete, HCO Bd of Review returns them to the training agency pointing out the discrepancies. When the training agency returns these, then the above procedure is followed-having the student in. If the student passes, HCO Bd of Review prepares an authorized certificate with the student's name and presents it to LRH on HCO Comm Line, for the signature of "L. Ron Hubbard, Founder". No written examination for any one grade may be repeated within 120 days of the last examination. Thus a student who flunks an HCO Bd of Review exam cannot be re-examined for 120 days. There is no limit to the number of examinations he can have. And the failure of a training agency to have the papers complete (HCO Bd of Review having to send them back) does not invoke the 120 days clause. In examining the HCO Bd of Review should be real, not pedantic. Good TRs, good command of processes for the level, good axioms and theory should pass a student.

I HCO POLICY LETTER OF 24 APRIL 1959 To all Academies FINAL HPA EXAM HCO BOARD OF REVIEW NOTE TO EXAMINER This final exam is based on the materials of Scientology; the end goal of its administration is to discover whether the examinee's command of the theory and practice of the subject is sufficiently professional in caliber for us to turn him loose on cases that an HPA level auditor could be expected to handle successfully, in confidence that he will have more successes than failures. The exam comprises two parts: oral, designed to test the student's practical command of the elements of auditing, and written, designed to test his grasp of and ability to apply theory to livingness. The marks on the oral exam are FAILED, POOR, FAIR, GOOD, EXCELLENT. The examiner must himself be an excellent auditor. We want on the part of the student a demonstration of good ARC, an impression of good order and precise handling of the pc and the MEST of the session and session environment; a good auditing presence and certainty of attitude with regard to processes, the subject and the pc; and a good knowledge of and application of some basic process commands and the TRs. A merely mechanical, rote handling of these would be marked POOR or lower. A student scoring POOR or lower should not be passed under any circumstances, no matter how well he does on the theory section. THE ORAL EXAM COUNTS FOR 60% OF THE FINAL GRADE. The marks on the written exam are numerical, total 100. Passing is 75%. It is possible for a student to miss the first three questions (comprising the Logics, Pre-Logics, and Axioms) completely, and by scoring perfectly on the remainder of the written test to get a barely passing mark. There is some emphasis on ingenuity and the ability actually to put Scientology data into application; a student having data by rote with no understanding, or with a low understanding of the subject would fail it miserably. Conversely, someone with an understanding of the subject should pass it well. THE WRITTEN EXAM COUNTS FOR 40% OF THE FINAL GRADE. (The numbers in parenthesis, brackets, following the question indicate the number of points scored for a perfect answer of that question. Imperfect answers receive partial credit insofar as they are to any degree correct.) It is not possible to cover the whole of Scientology exhaustively in one examination of this length; consequently, the questions have been drawn up rather as a representative sampling whose handling will give us a fair idea of the student's ability and state of ARC with the subject and its terminals. PART A: ORAL EXAM-PRACTICE-COUNTS 60% TOWARD FINAL MARK 1. Have examinee start and end an auditing session. PURPOSE: To judge smooth handling of two-way communication with a pc. 2. Have EX handle an ARC break; a cognition; an origination. 3. Have EX deliver the auditing commands of Tone 40 8-C with intention. 4. Have EX deliberately break one item of the Auditor's Code and handle the resulting ARC break smoothly and well. Examinee must announce which item of code he is going to break to examiner, then proceed to violate that exact item, and repair break. 5. Have EX give, with good maintenance of applicable TRs, the exact auditing commands of CCH 1,2,3,4 with proper acks. (CCH 1,2 Tone 40-3,4, formal) 121 The examiner will judge the ability of the examinee to actually audit by scoring him on his command of the environment and session and pc; his certainty of attitude; use of the TRs; AP - C with the pc and auditing presence in general. Grades are EXCELLENT, GOOD, FAIR, POOR, FAILED. PART B: WRITTEN EXAM-THEORY-COUNTS 40% OF FINAL I . Write out in full one (1) of the Pre-Logics in its exact Scientology wording.

To prevent this, it is now policy that after an HPA/HCA student has passed the HCO Board of Review examination, and before a certificate is issued, he shall be required to have from the HCO Board of Review a case assessment. If it is found that their case is in poor shape, or that they have little subjective reality on Scientology, they must be ordered to processing before their certificate can be issued.

A candidate for HPA examination should be given a first week HPA student as a preclear, and must then presession him and get off his ARC breaks, PTPs and Withholds, arid then proceed to find a havingness process that works. He should be given three or four hours to do this; the examiner would look in occasionally and check progress. The old student would then complete an appropriate security check on the new student. Afterwards the student preclear would be checked on an E-Meter by the examiner to see if there was any major withhold or anything showing heavy charge, which could reasonably have been found and handled by the examination candidate, but was missed by him. This would ensure that the HPA/HCA could get rudiments in and do a Security check. All arrangements should be made by the (c) of T.

First step consists of completing the check sheet of all pertinent bulletins and tapes, each one examined and passed upon by an examiner. These examinations must be passed, each one, 100% by oral questioning. The examiner need not be the HCO Board of Review. Second step is the completion of all demonstrations called for on the checksheet such as the actual ten manifestations of the needle, knowing and reading the actual meter on them, Model Session with all TRs and any other demonstration item. Passing of these two qualifies the auditor as a temporary Class IIb. It does not award the classification or any additional pay because of it. The third step is the passing of a general written and actual demonstration examination on the skills and knowledge of Class 11. This final examination is done by the HCO Board of Review. It must be passed 100%. Courses in auditing may only award Class Ilb when class examination clearly conforms to this Policy Letter. Class llb does not increase pay or deliver other benefits. It does permit the auditor to practise for Class 111. Anyone awarded a Class Ilb should preserve the check sheet on knowledge and demonstration against future HCO Board of Review Examination. An HCO Board of Review may examine anyone with a completed and instructor verified check sheet, whether from field or organization. If the student is not from a recognized Class II Course or has not studied under a Saint Hill graduate any single item on the check sheet may be re-examined and failure to pass it shall constitute a failure of the whole examination. If from a recognized course for Class If or Central Organization staff, the whole regular examination shall be given, with practical demonstration on needle action first, Model Session with all TRs in second, and a general written examination based precisely on Class II materials third. Failure of any one of the first two parts makes it unnecessary for the Board of Review to give the next part. Re-examination may not be taken in the same week. One week must intervene between examinations for Class 11. No certificate or writing may be issued for Class Ilb. A formal letter or certificate may be issued for Class 11. No check sheet from the field or a course may be considered valid for a Central Organization examination for Class Ilb or Class 11. No check sheet of any kind or Class 11 award of any kind may be considered valid at Saint Hill on the Special Briefing Course, but having obtained such elsewhere would, of course, make it easier to pass at Saint Hill. An HCO Board of Review examination anywhere except Saint Hill, shall cost the equivalent of f 10 sterling payable to the Area HCO, for each and every examination taken, whether a reexamination or not. This charge shall also be made to Central Organizations for their staff members. (Class III Classification will follow similar lines to this Policy Letter.) LRH:sf.cden L.

FURTHER MATERIAL ON STUDY - EXAMINATIONS Progress in study can be inhibited through the usage of a poor system of examination. By asking of questions irrelevant to the material covered and by failing to ensure that the student is fully aware of exactly what question is flunked, the student can be given sufficient losses to slow down his rate of learning and to cause ARC breaks. A misunderstanding comes about in the first instance purely on the basis that the student understood that he was studying a given subject. An irrelevant question asked by an examiner indicates to the student that such an understanding was false or that no basic agreement existed on the subject in the first place. An example of this would be to ask a student of a French language course to give the main historic dates and their significance to Eighteenth Century France. The original understanding was that the student was learning to speak and read French, not to learn the history of France. In Scientology an example of an irrelevant question would be to ask the student to give the distribution of a bulletin. The understanding of the student is that he is there to learn Scientology, its theory and application, not to learn the internal administration of organizational communication lines. A further example would be to ask a Level 11 student a question concerning data and material covered in Level IV. Frequently enough a Supervisor has to cope with a student who has come into Scientology to study the law of Karma or to study sociology or some other previous misconception without adding to the difficulties by asking irrelevant questions. Knowing what we now know about study we can handle earlier misconceptions, but a Supervisor must never ask a question of a student which is irrelevant to the subject or level. We must ourselves be careful not to add to student confusion. Therefore, any Supervisor tendency to ask irrelevant questions must be firmly restrained. In the second instance of the unknown question, a student can be given a verbal question on which he is flunked. In most cases the student will not be able to remember the question asked as he would not have flunked it in the first case if he had not already failed to understand the material covered by the question. Failure to remember the question asked or a Supervisor's refusal to give him the question asked reacts upon the student as an unanswered question, and therefore an uncompleted communication cycle, but also as an unknown question. The student will ARC break. You can easily demonstrate this by mumbling a question which is not clear enough to be understood and then insist upon an answer. You will soon enough have a very upset person on your hands. This is what happens when a student is asked a question, flunked, and then not given to clearly understand the question asked. Therefore Ron now requires that any examiner must always write down *verbal questions asked before asking them, and when a student flunks, hand him the written question which he flunked The student will then be able to know what he didn't know and be able to look up the material and 133 clear up what it was that he had not understood. Further, this will enable him to complete the communication cycle. If tape examinations are addressed to a class as a whole, these questions must be posted and the examination papers returned to the student. The student can then see what it was that he missed and what question was missed. Many people have had experience of such poor systems of examination which failed to follow the above. It is common practice in universities not only not to give students the questions asked, but also never to return examination papers. Most frequently all the university student is given is a grade. If that grade is not 100%, then the student never knows what it was he didn't know and so can not look it up to know it. This leaves him in the uncertain condition of insecurity about his data on a particular subject. And if the student flunks the subject and has to re-take it, he cannot comfortably study the subject because the whole of the subject has now become a complete mystery to him. Thus, the subject is set up as an ARC Break. Universities probably do this to be sure that their examinations do not get out to students, but then one can only state that this is laziness or lack of ability on the part of professors to think of different questions, or perhaps even a professor's own lack of understanding of his subject sufficient to enable him to be able to think of enough questions to ask. It also could be that there is -a complete lack of worthwhile material in more primitive subjects than Scientology on which to ask questions, in which case it should never have been part of the curriculum. (Freudians mainly examine on the dates of Freud's papers for their qualification of psychiatrists!) The administration of a proper system of examination is quite simple: I . Tape examinations or examination questions given verbally to the class as a whole must be written down before being asked and must be posted on a bulletin board afterwards and all examination papers must be returned to the students. 2. Verbal questions asked of individual students must be noted down in a book like an invoice book with tear-out sheets and a piece of carbon paper. Such books are easily procured from stationers as they are used in most stores. The student is given the yellow copy of the questions with the flunked question plainly marked. The white copy is placed in the examiner's folder for the bulletin, tape or material. In this fashion we will be able to collect good questions to be asked; to notice fundamental areas of mis-understanding individual students have; and to note any areas of misunderstanding which are broadly mis-understood. We can, therefore, see where the individual student needs help and see where it is necessary to elaborate more fully on certain technical data in order to make it more broadly comprehensible. Supervisors and examiners doing this will then be contributing to the more rapid progress of individual students and to students in general. The same principles apply to the Department of Examinations and any other student examinations given. Mary Sue Hubbard LRH:ml.jp.rd The Guardian WW Copyright (c) 1965, 1967 for by L. Ron Hubbard L.

This is out tech as such a thing can cause an overrun of a process. Because of this dolls are used and have been for several years. Therefore, so that it is well known to students and examiners the following is the procedure for Provisional Certification and Provisional Classification Exams. Provisional Certification Exam-This is a written test taken from HCOBs, tapes, Policy Letters of the theory material the student studies. This test examines the student to ensure the student knows the data. 85% is passing grade. Below 85% is a flunk and the student goes to Cramming. Provisional Classification Exam-This is a practical exam. The test consists of a check out of TR 0-4 any of the meter drills of the level, and the auditing of a doll on the process or processes of that level with full TRs and Admin. The examiner gives the student a mock C/S and the student Audits the doll on that C/S. The student is required to pass this exam 100%. The student is flunked for out TRs, out meter drills, out admin, or out tech only. FURTHER TO THE ABOVE AN EXAMINER MAY NOT ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTION OF THE STUDENT BUT MAY ONLY REFER HIM TO THE PROPER HCOB OR LRH TAPE OR TR OR HCO POLICY LETTER. The student is examined on a standard. That standard is the exact duplication and application of the technical data of HCO Bulletins, LRH tapes, TRS, and meter drills. The student is not expected to handle situations above his level of abilities, but he is expected to recognize the phenomena indicating that situation has arisen that he can not handle. Nobody expects a Dianetic student to handle an ARC Broken pc but we do expect him to be able to recognize the situation and to see that it is handled by a more qualified Auditor. The Classification exam will only be difficult and impossible to pass for the non standard auditor. That's what it's aimed at-Ensuring that the auditor is a standard auditor at any level. The Founder-L. Ron Hubbard has spent years and years sorting it out and showing us the road out. Qual's job is to ensure that road remains straight, standard and true so that those who follow will also make it out. STANDARD TECH will keep it straight. Lt. O.J. Roos Flag C/S W/O P.D.

I . PRE-AUDITING EXAMINATION. This is done after the student has completed the theory and practical drill sections of the course. The examination is standard and has been written up and issued to all Qualifications Divisions in Orgs. It must be passed 100% before the student is permitted to audit. As Dianetics is now a very standard routine it will be found that the student either understands it or he doesn't. There are no shades of grey. If the student flunks the examination he goes to Cramming to review the materials of the course. 2. FINAL EXAMINATION. This is done after the student has completed his auditing requirements. When the 25 hours of auditing are complete (or more if required to obtain the required result), the student presents all his auditing folders to the Examiner with an attestation that he was the auditor, and that all the sessions he audited have been recorded in the folders presented to the Examiner. The Examiner inspects the folders to see if the auditor has demonstrated the practice of Standard Dianetics and to see if the PC has attained the expected gains. (If the sessions look standard but the PC has not attained the expected gains the examiner knows the session reports are incomplete or false.) If the Examiner is satisfied the student is auditing 100% Standard Dianetics the student is passed and graduated. If the auditing is non-standard and the results have not been obtained the student must continue auditing until the Examiner is satisfied. The student auditor's sessions are case supervised. If the PC is in trouble the auditor ends the session and sends the PC to the examiner. The case supervisor orders the, student to cramming if he has goofed. The PC may be ordered to a Scientology Review such as a Green Form. Review and cramming are at normal Org rates. There is no charge for case supervision.

The pre-auditing examination consists only of a tough written examination which must be passed 100% before the student is permitted to audit. After a period the current written examinations will become too well known, also some students may flunk the exam several times before eventually passing with 100%, hence more examinations will need to be written from time to time. These should be originated as necessary by the Qual Sec WW or, under his direction, by some competent person who is a Dianetic Graduate. All examinations must consult the student's understanding and ability to relate the materials to a session. Sometimes a student will get high marks in the nineties and only lost marks for an incomplete answer rather than incorrect answers. In such cases the examiner after marking the paper can verbally ask the student the questions on which he lost marks. If the student then gives the missing data, without having referred to the materials or discussed the examination with somebody in the mean time, he passes. This opportunity is not given if the student answered any question incorrectly or had less than about 94% on first marking. The purpose of the examination is to find out if the student knows and understands the materials cold. If he doesn't he will mess up cases. The student who flunks the examination or auditing goes to Cramming and then back to course to re-do the full course. THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THIS EXAM IS TO PREVENT THE MESSED UP PCS WE FIND OCCURRING WHEN THIS QUALIFICATION TO AUDIT EXAM IS OMITTED. Brian Livingston CS-5 for LRH:BL:eky.ei.rd L.

The student is not audited or spoken to during this check but is simply put on the meter and the meter condition noted and written down which is the end of the check. RELEASE CHECK For a release (formerly keyed-out Clear) check, the TA position may be anything from 2.0 to 3.0 with a floating needle. There is no other test of any kind for a release. The E-Meter on which the test is conducted must be calibrated as above. Note that this is the old "clear test". It now is classified as a RELEASE. GRADE VI CLEAR TEST For a clear checkout, there must be no reaction on the needle. The needle must be completely free with the Tone Arm at clear read for the sex of the person being tested. The needle can be made to impulse with the body totally motionless, hands steady, and no tricks. Further the needle can also be shoved from one side of the dial to the other by the clear by looking at it. Records must be presented showing that all R-6 materials have been run and no other characteristics or phenomena are required or demanded of the GRADE VI CLEAR (this state is referred to in earlier literature as Theta Clear and has been loosely referred to more recently as OT, but the state of OT is not actually attained without the drills and practices which were more-or-less covered in 1953 as Route One. The state of Clear (Book One and all other definitions) is totally attained at GRADE VI). GRADE CHECKS Grade checks require no meter test and consist of an inspection of the case folder looking for any TA action left on processes and not flattened. If unflattened processes are found in the folder of the grade being tested, they must be flattened by the auditor and the preclear returned. 140 When the preclear's auditing reports are not available and the preclear asserts and maintains that the processes at a grade have been flattened on him, discuss with the preclear the name of the grade as a subject (which names are on any org board, above the various departments) and see if the preclear seems to have attained it. Then put the preclear on the E-Meter and see if the TA is abnormally high or the needle sticking or dirty or rockslamming. If one of the latter is found to be the state of the needle, "the proper procedure is direct that the preclear be cleaned up by an auditor who must run each process of the grade in question in turn briefly to see if the process develops TA, and if it does, auditor must run the process until the TA action is out of the process". However, the Board of Review passes the matter to the Department of Inspections which directs the above repair be made. It may assist the Dept of Inspections if the Board of Review makes the above repair action (in quotes) known in a note on the folder merely saying the above. It is unlawful for the Board of Review to pass the matter directly back to the HGC or Academy, just as it is unlawful for the post of the Director of Inspections (Div 4, Dept 13) to be held by anyone from the Academy, the HGC, or the Department of Qualifications. Care must be taken in Grade testing not to invalidate the preclear's actual gains as that may produce a Dirty Needle or even an RS. The possession of a grade certificate from an org junior to that of the Board of Review is never accepted on its face value, but the preclear is always checked as above. LRH:wmc.eden L.

The Examiner just looks at the pc. He does not examine the folder or put pc on a meter. That's all been done. He just looks at the pc Pc seems bright, then he passes; pc gloomy, he sends to Review. The point is contained in the Fast Flow System. You don't check lines until there's something wrong with them. You don't try to find things wrong as the first action. The Examiner must have a reality on other hats and not try to wear them all. An Examiner can ARC Break a new release or rehabilitated release all to pieces before the person is so declared, by being nosey and suspicious. The pc is enroute to Certs and Awards. The Examiner stop is just a glance for a Release of any kind. It operates like a refusal to ack if the Examiner goes nosey at this point. REVIEW HOLDS Review must NOT hold on to pcs. There is no 2nd HGC in Review. Review does the required actions and sends pc back to HGC admin. There's no reason to start running intensives in Review. That's for the HGC. Check them, find what's wrong, send them back to HGC. The Case Supervisor of course receives the folder from HGC Admin before the next session. But Review does not ask the Case Supervisor for further directions. Review asks the Dir Review and the Dir Review asks the Qual See if needed. But there should be no question on a case. Review actions are very pattern. They do a form. They put it in the folder and send the folder and pc back to HGC Admin. HGC Admin then sends the folder to the Case Supervisor who writes the Case Supervisor's instructions in the folder for the HGC Auditor, who then goes on with the intensive. If the intensive is considered over, by reason of Release or Ethics action, HGC Admin tells the pc and does the remaining necessary actions. L. RON HUBBARD LRH:ml.kd Copyright (c) 1965 by L.

The Examiner doesn't audit the pc He wants to see the TA, the needle, the folder, and wants to know if the pc thinks he or she is a Release. A disease gets amongst auditors called Perfunctoryitis. They see a floating needle in every blowdown (when, of course, the needle does behave loosely for the moment during the blowdown). As a result such an auditor runs a process to a blowdown and says "Floating Needle". The reverse disease, Needleblinditis, more frequently occurs. The auditor never sees a floating needle and plows right on by it. This, of the two diseases, is the worst and most prevalent so probably happens most often. Overrun was the main auditor fault in the last 15 years. This is detected by high TA right during or after a Declare request. The auditor plowed on. The floating needle did occur, wasn't seen. Thus the Examiner must use a meter. And he must be suspicious of "the electric shocked pc who went Release in 20 minutes" on 0-0. Or the pc who "ran R6EW to 4th Stage Release in I hour". DECLARE BY THE NUMBERS Declare Releases in Consecutive Numbers only. Don't declare a Ist Stage next a 4th Stage. Declare a Ist Stage a Second Stage only when the Power Processes have been run. An R6EW floating needle on a pc who has been a first stage only doesn't make a 4th Stage Release. If you later run the Power Processes the R6EW may blow off as a lock on Power Processes (as it has done many times on pcs, while I was Power Process Case Supervisor). Thus the first stage who goes free needle on R6EWis not then a 4th Stage Release. He is not a second stage either. He's a I st Stage plus if you want to call it something. At this time when we have had people on R6EW who were not I st Stage Release, and when we haven't followed the gradient, there are going to be mix ups. We'll just have to cope. But for the Examiner, it is the rule to go by the numbers. Process by the numbers I st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Examine and Declare by the numbers. Don't skip. Usually trouble occurs when a Release has been overrun. The TA goes up. In fact this is the best reason for TAs going up. People with high TAs I for I have been found by me to be former releases or have been overrun on upper stage release processes. 143 Therefore a HIGH TA is always marked as overrun of some former release state either on that very process or at some earlier time and the Examiner's order is, for all high TAs who have been audited, when they come to Examiner, "To Review: Rehabilitate former release." If the pc has been declared and the pc Roller Coasters and the TA goes up, send to Ethics as PTS-and be cross if Ethics gets "reasonable" about the pc and says "pc won't disconnect" or "not PTS". For Ethics has goofed in not finding the right suppressive. A Roller Coaster is a Roller Coaster. Only a PTS situation can cause Roller Coaster. And the TA goes up. So, in any event, a high TA is "To Review" or "To Ethics", usually Review unless a Roller Coaster is evident. A below 2 TA is never declared anything. Only Power Process 6 will raise a low TA case above 2. That's the total datum and it's factual. Only Power Process 6 raises a low TA case. No other process ever has permanently. A pc whose Tone Arm is between 2 and 3 and whose needle "floated" for the auditor and not for the Examiner has been overrun or underrun. It's a matter for Review to find out. But it's only those two, overrun or underrun. If the TA then goes up higher in Review it's always an overrun. If the TA stays in the same range (2 to 3) in Review it's definitely an underrun; to wit, the needle didn't float for the auditor at all. Don't be afraid to put a pc on a meter when you're an examiner. Floating needles aren't all that tender. On first and second stage releases the TA goes up late at night and may be higher in the morning. But the message here is that they can be gently examined by an Examiner. Just put the pc on a meter. If released in the last few hours, the needle will always be floating if it floated for the auditor and the auditor stopped. If it isn't floating for the Examiner and the TA is between 2 to 3, it didn't float for the auditor either. EXCEPTION Because 2nd Stage Release by Power Processing is a phenomenon, not a floating needle necessarily, a pc's needle may not be floating after ending Pr Pr 6. Floating needle is not an absolute requirement for Pr Pr 6 2nd Stage Release. But it's nice when the needle is found to be floating. The auditor rightly tries to be sure and may overrun a trifle. It's hard not to. And so declaring 2nd Stage is chancy and may not stick. The pc may have to have a further run if the needle did not float and the TA is still between 2 and 3. Be alert, Examiners. This is a delicate job of course. But it can be done correctly. A former release supposedly rehabilitated will have a floating needle at least for a day or two. If they don't have a floating needle, require further rehabilitation. First and foremost, know what a floating needle is. Once seen, you never mistake one. L.

However, a student who comes to Saint Hill to enrol in and start the Clearing Course may then return to his home and continue it by correspondence. He may then, when Clear, obtain a Clear Check at his appointed Continental Organization. In order to speed up the checking out of Clears residing in other countries and to handle the tremendous flow of Clears that is occurring, and in the interest of economy for students, personnel have been appointed in certain Continental Orgs to perform this duty. When an overseas student sends in his folder to the Clearing Course Supervisor WW requesting a Clear Check the Clearing Course Supervisor examines the folder, and if satisfied that the student is ready for a Clear Check, initiates a Routing Form for a Continental Clear Check. This routing form then goes airmail immediately with the student's complete folder to the Continental Clear Checker concerned and the Clearing Course Supervisor at the same time writes to the student informing him that he will be contacted by the Continental Clear Checker. The Continental Clear Checker, upon receipt of the routing form and folder, telegraphs the student to come in for a Clear Check. Upon arrival at the Continental Org an amount of 927.0.0 (or the equivalent in local currency) must be paid in to the Area Cashier by the student. f 12.0.0 must be transferred IMMEDIATELY to Saint Hill to cover the postage and handling costs that have been incurred in airmailing the student's complete folder to the Continental Organization and L12.0.0 is retained to cover the Continental Org's expenses in returning the folder to Saint Hill. Balance of L3.0.0 comprises the Continental Organization's Clear Check fee. When the Checkout has been completed and the student has been announced Clear, a cable is sent to the Clearing Course Supervisor WW announcing the following facts: 1. Name of Clear. 2.

The Continental Clear Check routing form is then completed and sent to the Clearing Course Supervisor WW complete with the student's complete folder and all reports and materials used in the Checkout. Every Continental Clear Checker must have completed the following steps before being allowed to check out a Clear: I . Checked out thoroughly on all Clearing Course Tech Materials. 2.

No check outs not so done will be considered valid and only check outs so done may be graphed. For a long time I was puzzled as to how an org could be checking people out for release at a high rate and yet have no advance in income. Truly released persons pay their bills and flood in for more service. Finally I found out how this could be-the check outs for release were nonfactual or suppressively done or were an evaluation the person did not accept. Pcs so treated do not pay their bills or enroll for training. Looking further I found the key point in an org persons of suppressive tendencies would monopolize would be EXAMINER DEPT 13. This is the weak point in any org. It can undo all the tech of Div 4 (or hide its bad tech) and undo all the Admin skill of Div 7 without any real signs appearing except down income. An examiner can force a grade off on a pc or refuse a grade the pc has attained and directly stop the willingness of the person to have further courses or processing. Academy enrollment would also collapse if the Examiner Post was awry as persons properly declared then want to be trained. In an enthusiasm to get a high graph orgs will turn a blind eye to misdeclares. YET THE ONLY TROU13LE I HAVE HAD WITH PERSONNEL OF RECENT MONTHS HAS COME ONLY FROM MISDECLARES. People who are declared VI who have never had III or IV run, who had Clear grade forced on them, who in general had not been properly advanced or declared, have been the ONLY ones who gave us trouble. This is so much the case that an Ethics Officer should always suspect misdeclare in a trouble-maker. When people are properly examined and the exact finding made all their good indicators come in EVEN WHEN REFUSED A GRADE NOT ATTAINED. A suppressively inclined (or badly trained) auditor sitting on the examiner post 149 can make people think we are dishonest with his or her misdeclares. This post is the post that requires the greatest honesty in Scientology. If at this time, clears were put on Dept 13 or did its work and all declares of the past year were re-examined, the income of the org would soar. The ARC Break Registrar will find that misdeclares are a hidden factor in many people who aren't re-enrolling as students or paying their bills. The thing to do with these misdeclares is to bring them in for re-examination and give them the CORRECT finding on their grades, good or bad. They made it or they didn't. The TRUTH brings in their good indicators. A whole area can be wrecked by someone who believes that only awarding certs whether earned or not will make people happy. It doesn't. Only HONEST and FACTUAL examination will make people happy. Also when the Examiner says a grade has been attained that has not bad tech is validated in Div 4 AND ALL CHECK ON DIV 4 IS LOST TO THE EXEC SECS AND BAD TECH BECOMES THE RULE. This must not be. The Examiner is there to make Div 4 be good. So when you see a "number of releases and clears" statistic soaring and income remaining the same, you know what is happening. EXAMINERS ARE NOT BEING SKILLED OR HONEST. Only skilled and honest examinations with the real result announced to the pc will make the income graph soar. Our grades of release are factual. They exist. They are not some commercial gimmick or a means of magic incantation by the Examiner to make a district "happy". You can wreck an area by declaring people who haven't made it. You can wreck an area by refusing to declare people who have made it. All it takes is an HONEST examiner. L. RON HUBBARD Founder LRH:jp.cden Copyright (c) 1967 by L.

If at any time within 90 days after examination the examination is found to be incorrect the Examiner shall pay the org L5 or $12.50 or similar sum but always 5 times the examination fee received. The sum is paid by the Org not the pc and is paid for any declaration examination including multiple declares. The 5 times fine is paid to the org not to any person. The examination fee is paid even when the org offers free examination. It is free to the public but the org pays the Examiner. The fee is paid (or 5 times it is forfeited) on re-examinations also. The Examiner receives the fee regardless of whether the result is a declare or a flunk. If the pc passes and is certified in grade or if the pc does not pass and is not certified makes no difference-the fee is still paid. The forfeit for a misdeclare or failure to declare is paid by the Examiner if he declares a pc to have made it who has not or who fails to declare a pc who has made it. Either one is an INCORRECT examination. The way an Examination is found to be incorrect is if the pc, within 90 days: 1. Becomes the subject of an Ethics Order of any kind; or 2. Fails to carry on with further processing or fails to signify he is going to; or 3. Does not signify his intention to get training or further training; or 4. Becomes the subject of a review for case; or 5. Is found by a board to have been the subject of an examination leading to an incorrect result; or 6. Goes out of comm with the org. If the pc by any subsequent Examiner at the next or higher grade or grades is found to have been incorrectly declared or incorrectly denied a declare, at ANY FUTURE DATE, the Examiner who did the incorrect examination shall pay the forfeit to the org. The Examiner threatened with such a penalty by reason of this paragraph only, may ask for a Board of Investigation on the matter. The full intent of this policy letter is to make it worthwhile for an Examiner to make a completely honest examination without regard to anyone's statistic and to be immune from any pressure to declare or not declare, the whole repute of Scientology depending as it does in HONEST examination.

The first step, CC materials to FN, is a folder inspection. If no FN was noted in the CC folder, the point is rehabbed if it exists. Standard Rehab-date time or times, etc. Materials not run to FN is a flunk. The second step requires the TA between 2 and 3. Proper cans giving full hand contact must be used. Solo cans are NOT used. The meter and cans must be checked out before the check by placing a 500 ohm resistor between the cans, and then a 12500 ohm resistor. The resistor is clipped to the cans, not the leads. Use sensitivity 5 on the Clear and Re-Clear Check. In rehabbing the grades keep in mind HCOB I I Feb 66. "Free Needles How to get them on a Preclear". That is, if a grade does not rehab to FN, go on to the next grade, etc, until you have a FN. Then pick up those that you left. The one really keyed-in will hold down the others. . You do HCOB 30 June 65, 21 July 65, 2 Aug 65, 21 Oct 65 exactly. Listing and dating each and every release on a grade. REMEMBER that a pc may have gone release more than once on a given process, so check for it. You get in all steps and do a proper job of it, getting the pc happy about it before leaving the grade. When you are done you will have isolated the out grades, if any. Such a pc goes to Review to get them put in. You must have down that the grade was RUN. "Have you been run on ARC Breaks, yes, FN, that's it", is incorrect. See 21 Oct 65. What processes were run? - list them-find which went release on, etc. Standard tech. N.B. Straight wire, secondaries, engrams, and Grade Va, do not need to be ran. Their absence does not constitute a flunk. However, if they were run and the pc did not go release, they would naturally have to be completed. But, this is only done IF they were run previously. Some pcs have not been run on Grade V due to ED on old SH grads. Point is, are they whole track engram releases? If not, handle any by-passed charge. DO NOT run Power. Do not run Power on anyone who has run the CC materials. So, on such a pc as falls under this ED, when you get to where you would be rehabbing Grade V, you instead just locate his old track processes, like Helatrobus, Fac One, etc, and find out if he went release. You use your 27 Sept 65 bulletin here-what did the pc look at that got the release-what keyed out . . This determines whether or not he's whole track engram release. For example, pc ran on old Advanced Procedures and Axioms process of go to a moment of occlusion in this lifetime. Bang, he went whole track, a picture of two anthropoids showed up in an electronics incident. The key-out gave the pc a release 152 lasting 3 1/2 years. On rehab, when this electronic was spotted again, there was a great resurgence and FN. During these grade rehabs the TA may go below 2 or above 3. This is OK, you continue the rehabs as you usually would. After rehabs are all done, any out grade is run to FN in Review, excluding those listed above. A person pending an S & (c) does not receive his check until the S & (c) has been completed on the person and Ethics clearance has been given on it. A Clear who acquires an Ethics record of a Crime Level obviously is a misdeclare, and must be put on the usual lines and get a Re-Clear Check, then a complete Review to get in the out grade or grades. This Ethics record must be accurate and proven, not just some chit written which may or may not be true. It is a PROVEN record resulting from a Hearing, Board of Investigation, or Comm Ev. If the record is in question, it must be cleared up before revoking a Clear Certificate. Failure to pass a Re-Clear Check by TA position is meaningless technically because upper Levels key-in after Clear and will move the TA all over the dial and can tighten the needle (tighten, not scratchy). So do not withdraw the Certificate. Continue the check, do rehabs, and get in any out grades in Review. Exams does the check. You get a person cleaned up on whatever you found out so that he can then pass a check. A person who flunks a Clear Check or Re-Clear Check does NOT run the CC materials to another FN before getting another check. If, however, the flunk was because the CC materials had not been run to FN, he would of course do so before another check. LRH:jp.rd L. RON HUBBARD Copyright (c) 1967 Founder by L.

All references to the Clear Cognition in Dianetics are cancelled and have been deleted.) R6EW AND CLEAR Above VA processes, one enters the field of Advanced Courses. Advanced Courses, specifically R6EW and CC, deal with R6, materials of which one DOES HAVE TO AUDIT in order to attain the stable gains of the grade. In the old R6EW Checksheet, the study background and the process itself were all in one pack. There were possibilities that one would self-audit once he has seen the auditing materials; it was observed that some people factually did self-audit and later on they had to have a patch-up in Review on a grade that wasn't audited in the first place! Well, that is a Non-Standard action to begin with on Advanced Courses. Therefore, we made R6EW materials into 2 packs = study in Div IVs (orgs) and auditing materials are issued at the last minute in Div Vs, as per HCO P/L 4 December 69 "Confidential. Additions and Changes to R6EW Checksheet" (HCO P/L of 2 Oct 69). The liability of self-auditing of the Grade VI got resolved then and the preclears audited the grade with fantastic wins. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY MADE POLICY THAT ONE DOES HAVE TO AUDIT THE GRADE BEFORE HE CAN CLAIM ATTAINMENT OF ITS END PHENOMENA. Specifically in R6EW, where one definitely has to do the solo drills anyway. Grades are Grades = Their End Phenomena is attained by auditing them exactly as per the Scientology Gradation Chart, and that is true of any Grade. That's the stable data. L.

When a preclear has completed a Review and the C/S has okayed the preclear as complete, the folders are sent to the Examiner, who asks the preclear: "Are you satisfied that your Review is complete?" If the pc says yes and VGIs flood in and the needle floats broadly the pc may then attest. If the preclear says that he is not satisfied, the Examiner asks: "What specifically did not get handled?" He notes down the answer exactly and routes the folder to the C/S. The C/S then decides if what is needed is further Review action or may route the preclear to sign up for an Intensive in the HGC. Review only corrects. Note that the above actions are taken ONLY after the C/S has written that a Review is complete. L. RON HUBBARD Founder LRH:kjm.ei.rd Copyright (c) 1970 by L.

He then puts the pc on the meter noting TA and needle behaviour. The pc then makes a statement to the examiner which indicates that the pc actually made the end result of a Grade.

Regardless of the worksheet or report, any session ending with Bad Indicators, above 3.0 TA or below 2.0 with no FIN or an ARC Brk needle, a Stage 4 needle, a rock slam, a stuck needle, still or a dirty needle independent of TA position indicates a non-optimum session. When an Examiner sees any one of these following four manifestations in a pc after a session: I . Non-optimum TA position (above 3, below 2); 2. Non-optimum needle (ARC Brk needle, stage 4, rockslam, stuck, still or dirty); 3. Bad Indicators as per HCOB on Bls; 4. Non-optimurn statement from pc, critical, hostile, belittling, sad, etc. The Examiner applies the 24 Hour Rule. This Rule is: ANY GOOFED SESSION MUST BE REPAIRED WITHIN 24 HOURS. The reason for the rule is that occasionally, particularly when a person has had a sickly life, physical illness will key in after a session goof. Such are purely CIS or auditing flubs. A CIS flub consists of gross violations of case programming. Auditing flubs consist of corny things like running a Rud but no FIN, failure to flatten a Chain, bad TRs, auditing over out-ruds, chopping the pc before full End Phenomena is attained. Evaluation or even chatter after the session can upset a pc that ended session on FIN VGIs. IN ALL CASES as per 1 to 4 above the EXAMINER paper clips a RED CARD on the outside of the FRONT COVER OF THE FOLDER and marks on it THE DATE AND HOUR of the Examination as well as places the EXAM REPORT in the folder, the Examiner logs it in his log in RED BALLPOINT. The EXAMINER must see that the CIS receives this folder as soon as possible. The CIS gives total priority to C/Sing it and it is given priority in auditing that CIS. The pc may even be asked to wait if it can be done in the next hour or two. THE FASTER THE FLUBBED SESSION IS REPAIRED THE EASIER IT IS TO REPAIR. Sessions which are left unrepaired for more than 24 hours occasionally find the pc physically ill. If repaired quickly or at least within 24 hours no physical reaction results. The illness will be a key-in of illnesses the pc often had before any auditing. All the flubbed auditing does is key it in, it itself makes no one ill. If you check folders of ill pcs you will find usually a long period of no-auditing or a flubbed session a few days before the onset of the illness. 161 pcs, who have not been properly programmed but have been audited on random this or that instead of Progress, Advance and Class and Grade Chart to fully completed grades are the most likely to become ill. Penalty for violation of the 24 Hour Rule is loss of a day's stats for the division, the day being that day when the unrepaired flub occurred and subtracted at the time the flub is found. If a flubbed session is found hidden and not disclosed the division loses all its stats for that week. This action is important. If C/Ses and auditors made no flubs whatever they would really be getting top results on pcs. If a division can prove a flubless 100% FIN VGI week of Exam reports to Dept 3 with actual records, it gets a 25 percent stat increase on all stats. LRH:rr.ka.rd L.

Example: If a pc at the Examiner's F/Ns and yet within a few hours returns for a second Examination with a complaint which does not FIN, then the 24 hour rule applies. If the Tech CIS ignores it and no repair is done within 24 hours by Tech or Qual, both lose their stats for that day. If the matter continues unhandled the matter becomes a High Crime. HIDDEN FAILURES If due to failure to repair or handle session errors or failure to complete a major action, a pc becomes ill or unable to work, and if no effort is made by Tech or Qual to handle, the matter becomes a High Crime under HCO PL 7 Feb 65 reissued 15 June 1970, Keeping Scientology Working, (see Note at the beginning of that Policy Letter) and HCO PL 7 Mar 65, Page 2 No. 3 Crimes: Placing Scientology or Scientologists at risk. In such a case a Comm Ev must be convened and having fixed the cause of neglect and the persons responsible may, in addition to any fines or penalties, cost Tech and Qual all stats and bonuses for a reasonable period following the occurrence as set by the Comm Ev and as refundable by the divisional personnel from future pay.

I (Issued at Washington) HCO BULLETIN OF 28 MARCH 1958 All Staff Bulletin Board Field Offices ONLY ORGANIZATION OFFICES CAN CERTIFY CLEARS We are in receipt of many protests from auditors concerning our announcement that any auditor could certify clears. It is felt by field auditors that only HASI and HCO offices should finally test for and certify clears. It has been explained to us that the state of Clear must not become the subject of invalidation and that this might occur in field testing and certifying. Therefore the HCO Board of Review has made a ruling that only Central Organization offices such as HASI-L.A., HASI-London, HASI-New Zealand, HASI-South Africa,* FC-New York and HCO-Washington may test for issuance of a final certification of the state of Clear. Only HCO Washington may issue Clear Bracelets at this time. This cancels a statement that field auditors can certify clears and get bracelets for their pcs, Field auditors may however send their cleared pcs, in for tests and bracelets to the Central Organizations named above. It must be understood that this decision is made only after a flood of objections to field Clear certification by the field itself.

This is the only price. Applies to Field Offices, ACC students, individuals, everybody. The only FREE bracelets issued are to HGC-made clears, and cleared Permanent Staff Members, London. The London Procedure is as follows: a person desiring to be tested for clear reports to Testing FIRST (after paying Reception for test). Testing dept gives test. Testing should not tell person anything which would lead person to think he has been passed for clear. Person then reports to Dir of Pr who gives an E-Meter test and review of written tests but cannot finally inform person he is Clear. The most he can say is that it seems so, but final declaration of clear is reserved to HCO Bd of Review (after final review by LRH). Dir of Pr then sends all tests and E-Meter checkout sheet to HCO Bd of Review. HCO Bd of Review goes over all the papers and tests to make sure they are in order. (HCO Bd of Review can call for a retest at his discretion after a lapse of time.) When HCO Bd of Review has all tests and papers on that person in order, he then submits them to LRH for a final review. After LRH certifies the person as "Clear", HCO Bd of Review then notifies person they are eligible for a clear bracelet. When HCO Bd of Review advises a person that they are eligible for bracelet, he should ask them to let him know immediately the exact way they want their name written on the bracelet, if he does not already have this information to hand. HCO Bd of Review gets the exact date of clearing from the tests. If the person was an HGC preclear, there is no charge to him for the bracelet, and HCO Bd of Review must notify INVOICING that that person is entitled to a clear bracelet, whereupon Invoicing writes up an invoice for that person, marking it "HGC preclear London, no charge". (If person is a London Permanent Staff Member, Invoicing marks "London Perm. Staff Member, no charge".) If person is NOT an HGC preclear, then HCO Board of Review advises them at the time he informs them of their eligibility for a bracelet to send in f 4 to "Invoicing". Payment- note: Payment of bracelet can be arranged, however, before the person leaves the central organization premises. They can pay L4 to Invoicing and the invoice can be retained by HCO Bd of Review in the person's folder. If person pays before they leave, then Invoicing should make out the invoice exactly as the person would like to have their name appear on the bracelet. Bracelets can be partially paid for-they will be engraved and sent C.O.D. for balance where necessary. If it is a local purchase, the total payment must be on hand before delivery is made. Can be paid for a little at a time before delivery is made. FIELD OFFICES: (example: HASI, South Africa) When they check an HGC preclear, they send all tests and papers to HCO Bd of Review in Washington, DC. Above procedure follows. (Field office bears cost of an HGC preclear, not the person himself.) All bracelets issued must be invoiced and must follow this procedure. L.
