briefing and handling of missions. (FO 2461R) 3. the primary
function of Operations is to keep the mission on target. To see
what they require suddenly on their missions and get it to them. To
see that the mission comes off with a successful completion.
Mission members are going to disperse. The Operations Officer is
there to steady the mission member. (FO 890)
OPERATIONS DIVISION, 1. the First Mate is in charge of Division
IV, the Operations Division, which cares for the decks,
construction, and other purely traditional ship concerns - so the
ship can operate as a ship. (FO 2674) 2. (Division 4) that division
which handles the general operations and activities of the ship.
(FO 1109) Abbr. Ops.
OPERATIONS AIDE, 1. the head of Bureau IV Flag is entitled
Operations Aide. The earlier title of Production Aide is made
obsolete by the introduction of the senior post of Product Officer.
His opposite number in a CLO is entitled A/Operations Aide. To
avoid confusion with the title Operations Officer, the Aide's title
is always written in full, not abbreviated "Operations Aide." "Ops
Aide" is incorrect. To further differentiate, "Ops Officer" now
becomes "Mission Ops Officer." (CBO 81) 2. I expect these things
from Operations Aide, quite in addition to "regular duties": (a) to
keep a fully filed up-to-date data files ready for instant use that
give the local viewpoint of any org at any time, (b) to keep comm
and logistics flowing and transport well handled, (c) to keep
missions on real orders on target and completing, especially that
mission orders and actions do not cross order and forward command
intention and are effective in handling what they went out to
handle so that it stays handled, (d) to keep management functions
occurring against the background of stats, evaluation and command
intention, which has to be known; to make management at Flag
respected. (FO 8179) 3. CS-4, Operations Aide, in charge of
operations, ships, tech and AOs. (FO 795)

correctly, enhancing expansion of all Scn, (2) successful
completion of assigned Flag programs. (CBO 192)
OPERATIONS CENTER, hold No. 3 RSM has been taken over by staff
for an Operations Center. Its purpose will be (1) to receive all
communication traffic from Division 1 then appreciate and answer
the traffic or route the traffic to the party concerned for
answering and get it answered, (2) maintain traffic control board,
(3) maintain mission board, (4) collect information from each of
the CS divisions, (5) maintain an appreciation center for all the
data received from each of these divisions, (6) maintain and
control briefing of missions. Its overall purpose is to receive,
evaluate and act on data. Hold No. 3 is now called Staff CIC. (FO

OPERATIONS ESTABLISHMENT OFFICER, where bureaux are combined with
the service org the Divisional Esto also has the duties of the
bureau establishment. In such a case there is an Operations
Establishment Officer in charge of the four operations bureaux
which combined make up the operations bureau. He, as expansion
occurs, will shortly become a Chief Esto for Operations (or Chief
Operations Esto) with an Esto in each bureau - the Action Leading
Esto; the Data Leading Esto; the Management Leading Esto; and the
Ext Comm Leading Esto. (HCO PL 7 Mar 72)
OPERATION SHEET, a list of all the operations that must be

OPERATIONS OFFICER, 1. you as an Ops Officer have the duty of
keeping a missionaire on his orders and when a mission goes off its
orders you get them back on their orders. If you can't get them
back on their orders you pull them out. That's very unreasonable,
but that's the best definition of an Ops Officer. He's
unreasonable. If a mission goes off its orders you have lost
control of it. If you have lost control of it, it will diddle
fiddle around in that area for a long time. If you ran a rigid form
on it you will run it faster. (FO 3508) 2. the head of Bureau IV
Flag is entitled Operations Aide. To avoid confusion with the title
Ops Officer, the Aide's title is always written in full, not
abbreviated, "Operations Aide." "Ops Aide" is incorrect. To further

OPINION, thoughts are infinitely divisible into classes of
thought. In other words, in thought there are certain wide
differences which are very different indeed. A fact is something
that can be proven to exist by visible evidence. An opinion is
something which may or may not be based on any facts. (HCO PL 26

data sources, personality or other factors including popularity
itself, certain members of the group, company, community or nation
are looked to by others for evaluation. (HCO PL 11 May 71 II) 2.

ORDER(S), 1. the verbal or written direction from a lower or
designated authority to carry out a program step or apply the
general policy. (HCO PL 29 Feb 72 II) 2. some program steps are so
ample that they are themselves an order or an order can simply be a
roughly written project. (HCO PL 29 Feb 72 II) 3. the program step
itself or the verbal or written project to get the program step
fully dote. (HCO PL 29 Fob 72 II) 4. the direction or command
issued by an authorized person to a person or group within the
sphere of the authorized person's authority. By implication an
order goes from a senior to juniors. (HCO PL 25 Nov 70) 5. policy
is the broad general outline originated by top management. Orders
are the instructions issued by the next lower level of management
to get things done that result in products. (FBDL 12) 6. orders are
what are issued to get the actions called for in policy done so
that a product results. (FBDL 12) 7. the program is the big
solution to a problem. The little problems inside that big solution
are solved by projects and inside the projects the littler-littler
problems are solved by orders. (FO 2192) 8. chaos is the basic
situation in this universe. To handle it you put in order. Order
goes in by being and making stable terminals arranged to handle
types of action and confusion. In organizing units, sections,
divisions, departments, orgs or areas of orgs you build by stable
terminals. You solve areas by reinforcing stable terminals.
Executives who do not grasp this Eve Eves of total harrassment and
confusion. (HCO PL 27 Oct 69) 9. good line and particle control.
The difference between order and chaos is simply straightforward
planned flows and correct particles. (HCO PL 27 Feb 72)
ORDER BOARD, every order an executive issues must be in writing.
He does this on a cup board. There is a sheaf of paper on it of his
division's color. It has a sheet of pencil carbon and a ball point

notices, as well as orders necessary to administration of the
ship's business. A copy of the OODs is delivered every morning to
each in-basket on the ship. It should be read each day carefully so
that you keep informed of what is going on around the ship and in

ORDERS, QUERY OF, it occasionally happens that an order is issued
or a policy is enforced or is found to exist which if put into full
effect in a certain area would result in loss or destruction.
Someone told to man up, for instance, all admin departments, sees
that this would upset the tech-admin ratio. Instead of putting the
order into effect he should query the order with (a) the name of
the issuer and the exact order, (b) the reason it would result in
loss or destruction if put into effect, (c) a recommendation
resolving the problem the order sought to solve. (HCO PL 15 Dec 69

ORG ADMIN CHECKLIST, the LRH Comm Weekly Report revised to become
a monthly admin checklist for the org to be inspected and reported
on by the LRH Comm, on the first day of

each month. It is a checklist that can and should be done quickly;
it requires little investigation as most points can be answered by
a glance in the area concerned, or by asking one staff member and
verifying the answer by checking a few folders, eta., or by
cross-checking with another staff member. (HCO PL 23 Feb 70RB) [The
checklist contains questions for each division that verify if that
division is handling its particles and getting its products
standardly.]
ORGANIZATION, 1. an organization means the act of organizing or
the process of being organized, The state or manner of being
organized: "A high degree of organization." Something that has been
organized or made into an ordered whole. A number of persons or
groups having specific responsibilities and united for some purpose
or work. Thus an organization is an activity or area that is being
organized or has been organized or made into an "ordered whole."
(HCO PL 29 Oat 71 II) 2. organization is composed of terminals and
lines and the terminals are there with a common purpose but they
are united by lines. (5812C16) 3. an organization is essentially a
service delivery unit. The continued expansion of an organisation
depends upon high volume flubless delivery. (HCO PL 29 Aug 71) 4.
an organization is composed of trained people, it isn't composed of
dead bodies. (FEBC 6, 7101C23 SO II) 5. a group of people that has
more or less constant membership, a body of officers, a purpose and
usually a set of regulations. (HCO PL 9 Nov 68) 6. an
interdependent activity coordinated by its leaders. (HCO PL 19 Oct
67 I) 7. an organization is a complex mechanism. It is made up of
associated individuals who have an agreed upon goal or intention.
They are going along in some direction which they do not too
violently disagree with, and it will make progress to the degree
that it stays in agreement and holds its form and to the degree
that it refines its form to meet new threats to its existence and
so it will survive. (SH Spec 77, 6608C23) 8. evidently an
organization is a number of terminals and communication lines with
a common purpose. The purpose associates and keeps in contact with
one another the terminals and the lines. That's all an organization
is. It isn't a factory, it isn't a house. It isn't a machine, it
isn't a product. It's not a command chart. If you look it over in
the fight of that simplicity you can actually form one and get one
to function. (OS-9, 5611C08) 9. an organization optimumly would be
composed of communication terminals. If we look it over and find an
organization is composed of communication terminals then we decide
that a communication terminal had better have a communication One.
So we find an organization consists of communication terminals
364
and communication lines associated with a common purpose or goal.
(OS-9, 5611C08) 10. it's a group of associated comm lines and
terminals which is itself a single terminal and it has ingo and
outcome lines. (OS-9, 5611C08) 11. a servo-mechanism to the
doingness of people. (OS-10, 5611C15) 12. an organization is
something which has its own spb it. It is composed of people or
living beings who are governed by certain rules and purposes and
who know how to do their jobs. That is an organization and when any
of those factors are neglected it becomes a "thing" even though it
still has a name and legal standing. (PAB 90) 13. an organization
is composed of terminals and communication lines related by a
common purpose. That's an organization. And all the organizational
pattern does is help separate the types of particles being handled.
That, in a nutshell, is an organization and what it does. (5812C29)
14. the word organization in Scn policy means an activity organized
on the seven division system authorized by myself and regular
official Scn organizations and under Worldwide. (HCO PL 11 Aug 67
II) 15. the essence of organization is org boarding, posting with
reality and, in keeping with the duties being performed, training
and hatting. To this has to be added the actual performance of the
duties so that the activity is productive. Another ingredient that
goes hand in hand with organization and survival is toughness. The
ability to stand up to and confront and handle whatever comes the
way of the organization depends utterly on the ability of the
individuals of the organization to stand up to, confront and handle
what comes the individual's way. The composite whole of this
ability makes a tough organization. Confidence in one's teammates
is another factor in organization survival. Confidence in one's
self is something that has to be earned. It is respect. This is a
compound of demonstrated competence, being on post and being
dependable. (OODs 10 Nov 71) 16. organization is basically
foresight and prediction and putting in stable terminals that will
handle the flows. What belongs where? (FEBC 1, 7011C17 SO) 17.
consists of a real and functional org board, hats consisting of
checksheets, packs and manuals and training of this material. (HCO
PL 8 Oct 70) 18. the purpose of organisation is to make planning
become actuality. Organization is not just a fancy complex system,
done for its own sake. That is bureaucracy at its worst. Org boards
for the sake of org boards, graphs for the sake of graphs, rules
for the sake of rules only add up to failures. There is a lot to
organization. It requires trained administrators who can forward
the programs. (HCO PL 14 Sept 69) 19. the subdivision of actions
and duties into specified functions. (HCO PL 7 Mar 69) 20.
organization consists of certain people doing certain jobs. (HCO PL
1 Jul 65 III) 21. smooth organization consists of having a terminal
for each type of activity in which the organization is engaged.
There can be four or five activities to one terminal so long as
three things are obeyed: (1) the terminal itself has to know it;
(2) nearby terminals have to know it; (3) distant terminals have to
know it. (PAR 78) 22. the attempt to establish terminals and flows
so as to bring about an orderly flow of energy or matter. (5808C25)
Abbr. Org.
ORGANIZATIONAL CHART, (pegboard) this board has the force of
assignment and is the primary means of assigning personnel in the
organization. This board is the publication authority for
assignment to post. This is not a communication chart. The org
board shows name of post, followed underneath by purpose, followed
underneath by person's name. (HCO PL 27 Nov 59)
ORGANIZATIONAL FOLDER, see HAT FOLDER.
ORGANIZATIONAL GENIUS, composed only of arranging sequences of
action and designating channels for types of particles. That's all
it is. (HCO PL 14 Sept 70)
ORGANIZATIONAL HEALTH CHART, this is an anatomical chart of a
live organism, the HASI, London. This list of importances tells us
what the heart is, the breath and all the rest in order. If
anything on this fist goes wrong, it and the items above it must be
examined in turn. This is diagnosis. Repair consists of setting the
function back to order and each in turn after it, since when an
organism's highest functions fail, the remainder begin to enter
difficulties. This then is a diagnostic chart and a chart to effect
the cure. This list gives each function its proper importance to
the rest, not perhaps in social caste, but certainly in health.
(HCO PL 2 Nov 70) [See the above Policy Letter for the list of
nineteen functions making up the organizational health chart.]
ORGANIZATIONAL POLICY, that policy which makes the organization
into an organization and keeps its flows fast and its design
uncomplicated. In absence of these policies the design becomes
altered orddows cease and the org dies. (HCO PL 23 Apr 65)
ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOSES, see SANITY SCALE.
ORGANIZATION CASH DIFFERENTIAL, same as the departmental cash
deferential but for the whole organization. Departmental cash
differential is the exact difference between the cash received by
or for a production department and the cash spent by or on behalf
of that department plus its share of the general cost, so long as
the result shows receipt greater than expenses. (HCO PL 26 Jun 64)
ORGANIZATION, CELLULAR, an organizational format of a production
plant and machinery in which all the parts and workers needed to
produce a completed product are located in one production cell or
section of the factory. Cellular organization is in contrast to
flow line production wherein parts and workers form a single
manufacturing line with work flowing in a single direction through
the entire factory as in an assembly line.

ORGANIZATION, COMMITTEE, an organization wherein a joint body of
executives is responsible for its management.
ORGANIZATION CONTINENTAL LIAISON OFFICER, the Office of the Org

ORGANIZATION DIVISION, we call it Treasury but it's actually the
division which organizes the actual mest of the production
activities. It gets together the sand to make the glass for the
bottles, the sugar and saccharine for the candy and so forth. It
does the assembly of this type of action and it also has the idea
of money, assets, what it makes and so forth. You must have your
money before you can buy the sand for the glass and so on. (SH Spec

ORGANIZATION EXECUTIVE COURSE, 1. the Organization Executive
Course is the equivalent in admin of the Saint Hill Special
Briefing Course. The course packs for the new modern Organization
Executive Course are the OEC Volumes 0 through to 7 in their
entirety. (HCO PL 17 May 74R) 2. this course contains the basic
laws of organization. Primarily intended for Scn organization
executives, its policy letters are slanted toward a Scn org (short
for organization). However, it covers any organization and contains
fundamentals vital to any successful or profitable activity. This
course also applies to the individual. Any individual has his seven
(or nine) divisions and his 21 (or 27) departments. Where one or
more of these is missing in his conduct of life he will be to that
degree an unsuccessful individual. (HCO PL 8 Sept 69) Abbr. OEC.
ORGANIZATION EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, 1. in early days there was an
HCO Sec in charge of the functions of the first three divisions
(Exec, HCO, Dissem) and an Assoc Sec in charge of the functions of
the last four divisions. The Org Board evolved further and the HCO
Exec Sec became the person in charge of the functions of the first
three divisions and the Org Exec Sac, the last four. In the Sea Org
these titles became Supercargo and Chief Officer but the functions
were similar. (HCO PL 9 May 74) 2. a product officer of Divisions
8, 4, 5 and 6. (HCO PL 7 Dec 74) 3. (Sea Org) Chief Officer. (HCO
PL 9 May 74) 4. the HES was an org officer and the OES was a
product officer. If you look under the OES you will find money in
Division 3, you will fund auditors, and student auditors and the
Directors of Training and you will find pcs in the Department of
Processing, and then you will find, also, Distribution, you will
find the field, and the products which are going out into the
field, (FEBC 7, 7101C23 SO III) 5, where an org has less than five
staff the Org Executive Secretary (OES) combines Accounts, Tech and
Qual functions. Elementary banking and bid paying (with the
registrar and PES both able to invoice in, giving the money over to
the OES with an invoice copy) is done by the OES. AD auditing and
major course supervision is done by the OES. The major functions
that must be done for the org to be successful are safeguarding
funds by recording and banking and paying bids, auditing pcs,
teaching students and correcting those cases that fail or students
that are slow. (LRH ED 49 INT) Abbr. OES, Org Exec Sec.
ORGANIZATION FORM, 1. each org staff member is a specialist in
one or more innflar
366
functions. These are his specialties. If he is fully trained to do
these he is said to be hatted. The combined specialties properly
placed and being done add up to the full production of an org. The
org form is then the lines and actions and spaces and flows worked
out and controlled by specialists in each individual function.
These specialists are grouped in departments which have certain
actions in common. The departments having similar functions are
grouped into divisions. The divisions combine into the whole org
form. (HCO PL 28 Jul 72) 2. an org form is that arrangement of
specialized terminals which control and change the production and
organization particles and flow lines of an activity. (HCO PL 25
Jul 72)
ORGANIZATION, FORMAL, an organization with an inflexible
organizational structure where employment positions and
departments, branches, etc., are clearly delineated as to duties,
responsibilities and authorities. In a formal organization there is
a great emphasis on maintaining the structure or form of the
organization as that is how it is designed to run. A formal
organization structure is essential for any organization to operate
and expand beyond only a handful of employees.
ORGANIZATION, FORMATION AND REPAIR OFFICER, the full title of the
Org Officer is Organization, Formation and Repair Officer. He has a
hat similar to that of an old-time HCO Area Secretary. He puts an
org there, (CBO 64)
ORGANIZATION HCO AREA SECRETARIES, handle the communications,
technology and awards of single organizations around the world.
(HCO PL 18 Dec 64, Said Hill Org-Board)
ORGANIZATION, INFORMAL, an organization with little or no
organizational structure or at best one that is flexible under
ggerating conditions. The distinction between duties,
responsibilities and authorities is not clear-cut as there are
often no specific employment titles or arrangement into
departments. An informal organization usually exists where a few
persons are closely associated and each knows every or many aspects
of the business which they handle ascending to who is available or
most familiar or as needed, etc. One cannot build a large
organization in this manner.
ORGANIZATION INFORMATION CENTER, 1. this is not a clumsy graph
system but a species of mechanical brain that keeps continuous
check upon and corrects small bogs of its own accord. It forecasts
emergencies. This must have come from the Combat Information Center
of World War II, by which swarms of fighter planes, bombers or
landing craft could be individually directed with great case The
board is a smooth finished surface with a number of holders of 8"
by 10" (approximate size) graph paper. These papers are not stapled
on but drop into a three-sided border, open at the top. New papers
every quarter or so are put into the holder in front of the last
quarter's sheet so that one can refer back. The board has various
signs on it, one for each department. The graphs are in three
horizontal bees for one organization, with space for two to three
charts (in a single line) for each department. It is necessary for
quick reading to have the graph sheets in long lines rather than in
blocks - hence the board appears to be three long lines of graph,
no matter how many graphs there are in how many departments. (HCO
PL 11 Aug 60) 2. in Department 8, Department of Inspection and
Reports. OIC (Section) designates statistics for Ad Council
approval, collects statistics, graphs statistics weekly, posts the

ORGANIZATION, LABOR, a group of workers such as a labor union who
have the legal power to deal with employers on such issues as wage
disputes, better working conditions, grievances, etc., through the
process of collective bargaining.
ORGANIZATION, LEAN, an organization which is not overstaffed. It
has just enough staff to keep people busy enough to get the job
done without staff colliding with each other physically and
emotionally. The level of interaction between staff is not high
enough to interfere with production and the interaction going on is
primarily between a person and his job. "Labor problems" would be
less as staff and executives would be too busy to cause them.
ORGANIZATION LIBRARY, a library belonging to a business,
accessible to company executives and other employees and ideally
containing such books as would be needful to a person handling any
aspect of the company's business.
ORGANIZATION, LINE, the military type of organization form
whereby there is a definite ascending and descending chain of
command. Each executive from the bottom up is responsible to the
person directly above him. Thus all persons in a department may be
directly responsible to the head of a department who in turn is
responsible to an executive who is in charge of, say, six
department heads and so on up the line. Orders pass from top
management down the line of command and compliances and data pass
on up without by-passing the chain of command. Thus responsibility
or irresponsibility is easy to pinpoint and functions are clearly
defined.
ORGANIZATION, LINE AND STAFF, a combination of line and staff
types of organization. Line executives and personnel handle the
production factors of the organization utilizing a distinct chain
of command and staff executives and personnel handle the organizing
and supportive activities such as accounting, training, etc.

ORGANIZATION PROGRAM NO. 1, 1. this is an effort to make it easy
to reform an org whether the org is large or small. This gives how
to attain your two admin to one tech ratio-which must not be
exceeded. If an org's tech-admin ratio is greater than two admin to
one tech it will only he able to pay poorly and function badly.
This ED is to be used to stabilize and establish a workable org
form which will produce with good GIs and pay. Orgs which have more
than two admin to one tech should take from their excess admin
their best potential students and full time train them to swell
tech ranks and increase student and pc production. Org duties and
actions are clearly outlined in this program. (LRH ED 78 INT) 2. an

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE, the operating framework of a business or
organization. It is established by designating and naming
organizational units such as divisions, departments, branches,
etc., defining how they interrelate, (relative authority,
communication lines, etc.) and establishing the job titles,
functions, hierarchy and products of the personnel who will work
there.
ORGANIZATION SUPERVISOR, organization supervisor for all Scn
organizations around the world and locally will include reception,
mimes, communications, telex, accounts, addresses, central files

ORGANIZATION, THE, few people realize that HCO is actually a
separate company. It is the worldwide comm network of Dn and Scn.
As its finances and personnel are meshed in with the rest of the
org, its identity does not stay visible. But note it is still
called HCO and the rest of the divisions are called the
organization. (HCO PL 7 Feb 70 II)
ORGANIZING, 1. in order to organize something one has to (1)
establish what is the final product, (2) work backwards in sequence
to establish the earlier products necessary to make each next
product and which all in a row add up to the final product, (3)
post it in terms of vertical greater and greater completeness of
product to get command channels, (4) all just it for flows, (5)
assign its comm sequence, (6) work out the doing resulting in each
product. Write these as functions and actions with all skills
included. (7) name these as posts, (8) post it, (9) drill it to get
it known, (10) assemble and issue the hats, (11) get these known,
(12) get the functions done so that the products occur. This is
what is called organizing. (HCO PL 26 Oct 70) 2. the know-how of
changing things. (HCO PL 1 Nov 70) 3. when routing arrangements are
made inside the org-from staff member to staff member - we call it
organizing. (HCO PL 17 Nov 64) 4. to put order into something. Not
organizing leads to confusion. This is true of groups and
individuals. (BPL 21 Oct 71 III) 5. the right way to go about it is
to have the tech of a job, plan it, get the materials, and then do
it. This we call organizing. When this sequence is not followed, we
have what we call cope. Too much cope will eventually break morale.
One copes while he organizes. If he copes too long without
organizing he will get a dwindling or no product. If he organizes
only he will get no product. Coping while organizing will bit by
bit get the line and action straighter and straighter and with less
work you get more product. (OODs 15 May 71) Abbr. Org.

org board and the org board must in truth be a representation of
what is in the org, The org board shows where what terminals are
located in the org so flows can occur. (HCO PL 7 Jul 71) 3. org
board is actually an abbreviation not for an organization (noun)
board but an organizing (verb) board. The org board shows the
pattern of organizing to obtain a product. A board then is a flow
chart of consecutive products brought about by terminals an series.
We see these terminals as "posts" or positions. Each one of these
is a hat. There is a flow along these hats. The result of the whole
board is a product. The product of each hat on the board adds up to
the total product. (HCO PL 28 Oct 70) 4. a proper org board is a
perpetual combination of flows which do not collide with one
another and which do enter and do experience the desired change and
which do leave as a product. (HCO PL 13 Sept 70 II) 5. the org
board is the general plan, the function indicator, the routing and
the personnel situation for the org. (HCO PL 17 Apr 70) 6. consists
of the terminals, actions and flows necessary to achieve an overall
purpose and to prevent distractions and stops from the purpose.

which classifies types of confusions and gives a stable terminal to

couple sheets of clear blue Formica, 4 feet high by more than 8'9"
long. It can be longer than 8'9". That is the minimum. That gives
one department only five inches of width. A yellow vertical stripe
of cellotape split in had separates departments in a division and
divisions are separated by a full width of it. A thin strip of
green goes all along the top of the departments. The level word
goes above each department and the yellow tape. The command lines
are in red cellotape. The names of departments are cut on a Dymo
using tape approximating the color flash of the department as
feasible. Executive Secretaries and secretary titles and names are
in gold Dymo tape. Directors' titles and names are in gold banded
brown tape. Other executives' titles and names are in gold banded
black tape. Communicators are in this tape. Section names are in
the same tape color as the department name. AD subsections or units
are the same tape color as the department name. AD general staff
members are in plain green tape. All provisional or temporary staff
members are in black tape. The name of a deputy is in green tape
but the title, even when preceded by "deputy" is the color code as
above. (HCO PL 7 Jun 65, New Org Board Design) 9. the actual

ORGANIZING BUREAU, 1. recruits and assigns to a training function
or on a low post and training pending programming. It provides the
master library of HCO PLs, HCOBs, FOs, Bureau Orders and other data
such as books and manuals. It provides the mirage files of all
issues for any and all packs and makes up packs. It also runs off
current mimeo and distributes via Comm Bureau. It also handles and
runs off the actual printing of promotion as in photo offset work.
It also handles publishing actions. Thus its cycle is to provide
people and provide the data to make trained people. It also by
current mimeo keeps existing people informed by mimeo issue lines
and doing the promotion materials. Its keynotes are getting people
and data to train people (CBO 7) 2. the Sea Org Organizing Bureau
is established in Div 7, Flag. It consists of the SO Personnel

organize Flag, ships and orgs by procuring, transferring and
programming personnel, compiling checksheets and courses, preparing
materials and publishing needful orders, instructions and materials
needful in establishing or stabilizing ships or orgs throughout the
Sea Org. (FO 2473) 3. the ideal scene toward which the Org Bureau
is working is fully manned orgs and the checksheets and materials
necessary to train them for full effectiveness on individual posts
and the checksheets and packs needful to service and train the
public. The products therefore of the Org Bureau are (1) recruited
staff members, (2) the materials with which to fogy train the staff

ORG AUDITING, the purpose of the Ethics Officer is to help Ron
clear orgs and the public if need be of entheta and enturbulation
so that Scn can be done. The activities of the Ethics Officer
consist of isolating individuals who are stopping proper flows by
pulling withholds with ethics technology and by removing as
necessary potential trouble sources and suppressive individuals off
org comm lines and by generally enforcing ethics codes. The trick
of this org auditing is to find a piece of string sticking out -
something one can't understand, and, by interrogatives, pull on it.
A small cat shows up. Pull with some more interrogatives. A baby
gorilla shows up. Pull some more. A tiger appears. Pull again and
wow! You've got a General Sherman tank! (HCO PL 11 May 65, Ethics

ORG BASIC DATA, insight of Flag's extensive attention on all
organizations, and the need to have a complete viewpoint of each
org, there is additional data required from orgs. This is the org's
basic data. The following data is therefore required from each
organization. The Director of Inspections and Reports is to ensure
that the following data is sent to the Flag Data Bureau, via the
local FOLO, and is kept up to date. (a) the location of the org on
a local map, (b) a population density map of the city where the org
is located, (e) a full, complete floor plan of the organization.
Floor plan must have every space numbered, and each floor has a
letter (a copy of the floor plan with these numbers and letters is
kept by the org). (d) photographs of the org that show the mest of
the org, front entrance of the org, and overall appearance of the
org, (e) copy of the org board that the org is currently operating
on. Any time changes are made in the above, the Director of
Inspections and Reports must ensure full data on the change must be
sent to the Flag Data Bureau. On Flag, the Data Fees I/C must
ensure that each org has a gold file folder with a blue tab
labelled org basic data. In this folder must go the org basic data
and a copy of the org's current program. This folder is located in
the front of the org's current data file folder. (BPL 4 Jun 73)

who volunteer to do so in a continental area or at Worldwide shall
be enrolled as volunteers on OT Activities. The whole of those in
any continental area or Worldwide may elect a committee. This
committee is to be called a "Continental Committee" for continental
areas and the "Central Committee" for Worldwide. Staff membership
in orgs is not a requisite. These committees will handle certain
projects, programs and missions. The first and foremost program of
OT activities is of course the furtherance, support
373

dev-t or trouble or needless expense. The purpose of the OT Central
Committee is to help LRH organize and channel OT forces, interests

committees come under the OT Central Committee via their Exec
Councils. (HCO PL 11 Aug 67 III)

membership card is issued to each member. The purpose of the OT
Committee is to help LRH organize and channel OT forces, interests
and resources for the greatest good for Dn and Scn. The OT
Committee may embark upon and execute projects which further Dn and

trait are randomly numbered throughout the 200 questions: i.e. the
questions that measure trait A are numbered 1, 8, 15, 17, 42, 46,
