Q AND A, Question and Answer. When the term Q and A's used it
means one did not get an answer to his question. It also means not
getting compliance with an order but accepting something else. The
executive gives an order, the junior says or does something else,
the executive does not simply get the original order done, and the
result is chaos. Example: executive: do target 21 now. Junior: I
don't have any issue files. Executive: What happened to them?
Junior: Mimeo goofed. Executive: I'll go see Mimeo....Q and A is
simply postulate aberration. Aberration is non-straight line by
definition. People who can't get things done are simply Qing and
Aing with people and life. (HCOB 5 Dec 73)

QUESTIONABLE RISK LIST, in the case of premeditated fraud we have
a person who at the beginning never intended to pay, but intended
to defraud. Such persons can usually be spotted by an insistence on
courses and processing with no down payment. This is their
hallmark. Records should be combed for a fist of such names and
each time a request for totally credit arrangements Is made by
anyone, that name should be added tentatively to the hat. This list
is called the questionable risk hat,

Targetting is defined as establishing what action or actions should
be undertaken in order to achieve a desired objective. In the case
of the Director of Training, it would be as simple as obtaining
from central files the necessary 45 folders, writing the required
number of letters, returning the folders to central files and
determining to remain on post daily until this was accomplished no
matter what. Any quota can be targetted for increase daily and
weekly. For instance, the Director of Training can establish a
quota of 5 extra letters per day over that of the day before. This
would mean he would write 45 letters one day, 50 letters the next
day. 55 letters the day after that, and so on. (BPL 3 Feb 72) 2. a
quota is a future expectancy. The way one sets a quota is quite
important. If it is too impossible, a quota gets overwhelm not
stats. If it is merely "impossible" at first it quite often gets
made as it is a challenge. Too low a quota is no challenge at all
and gets no quota. To set one, one chooses a future date and draws
a line from now to it. Where that line crosses each future week is
the quota for that week. If one makes that weekly quota and
organizes to make the next week's, one win wind up with the final
quota made. (LRH ED 228 INT) [The above LRH ED was later cancelled

explains all other out-points that I've found in this area? And
that could be the definition of a why. (ESTO 12, 7203C06 SO II) 2.
a real why opens the door to handling. If it does not, then it is a
wrong why. When you have a right why, handling becomes simple. The
more one has to beat his brains for a bright idea to handle, the

the situation is such a departure from the ideal scene and win open
the door to handling. (HCO PL 12 Aug 74)
REASONABLENESS, 1. illogic occurs when one or more data is
misplaced into the wrong body of data for it. An example would be
"Los Angeles smog is growing worse so we fined New York." "I am
sorry, madam, but you cannot travel first class on a third class
passport." Humanoid response to such displacements is to be
reasonable. A new false datum is dreamed up and put Into the body
of data to explain why that datum is included. (Reasonableness is
often inserted as explanation of other out-points also) In the smog
one, it could be dreamed up that New York's exports or imports were
causing L.A. smog. In the train one, it could he inserted that in
that country, passports were used instead of tickets. (HCO PL 23
June 70) 2. faulty explanations. (HCO PL 30 Aug 70) 3. a staff

achieved. Most usually, when it is not being achieved, the person
is finding counter-intention in the environment which coincides

directed to his own counter-intention rather than to his objective,
i.e. he has interiorized unto the situation. (FO 2116) 5. you can

recognize out-points for what they are and use them to discover
actual situations. (HCO PL 30 Sept 73 II)

RELIABLE SOURCE, two bad systems are in current use on data. The
first is "reliable source". The other system in use is multiple
report. In this system (reliable source) a report is considered
true or factual only if the source is well thought of. This is a
sort of authority system. Most professionals working with data
collection use this. Who said it? If he is considered reliable or
an authority, the data is considered true or factual. Sources are
graded from A to D. A is highest, D lowest. The frailty of this
system is at once apparent. Philby, as a high British intelligence
official, was a Russian spy for 30 years. Any data he gave the U.K.
or U.S. was "true" because he was a "reliable source." He had every
Western agent who was being sent into Communist areas "fingered"
and shot. Psychiatrists are "authorities" on the mind. Yet insanity
and criminality soar. They are the "reliable sources" on the mind.

as the concept of being able to care for or reach or to be. To be
responsible for something one does not actually have to care for
it, or reach it or be it. One only needs to believe or know that he

RIGHT WHY, now let's go over into auditing tech and we know that
if the person doesn't have the right problem it won't resolve so
they're usually trying to solve the wrong problem. Well that
applies to every staff member there is. If he has a problem on his
post it is not the problem he has on his post or it would not be a

the right why is another way of saying the correct problem or the
correct reason. (ESTO 9, 7203C05 SO I)

RORSCHACH TEST, Rorschach is the inkblot test. Now the way they
make them is they drop some ink on one side of a sheet of paper and
then they fold the paper over and then open it up again, and then
now they've got ink blots on both sides and that makes an ink blot
and then you're supposed to look at the ink blot and see what you
see in it. If anybody ever gave you one of these things don't ever
bother to answer much and say I don't see anything in it, it
absolutely ruins the test, or say it's ink and a piece of paper.
Actually it was a child's game. Now most of these tests and so on
were born out of the area of phrenology which is reading the bumps
on people's skulls to tell their characters. That's where
psychology came from in the first place, and why they eventually
went deeper and thought it was the brain. (ESTO 3, 7203C02 SO I)

involved make the agreement or the route doesn't work. A route
along terminals that never agreed is no route but a labyrinth.

Hence a route and handling begins with a particle, develops with a
theory, comes to life with an agreement and continues to work
because of judgement and decision. Routes of handling are not
orders to handle but directions to go. (HCO PL 22 Oct 62)
ROUTE SHEET, a written form listing the production steps, used in

to check through in order to arrive in the HGC and in the auditing
chair. (BTB 3 Nov 72R) 2. when particles arrive at the org space
proper they must be routed and must continue to be routed from the
moment they enter until they leave the org space. Thus there must
be a reception for bodies, for mail, for phone, for telexes and for
messages in general. There must also be an exit point for all these
things and someone to send them on their way Ott of the org space.
Once the particle (body, dispatch, raw materials, whatever) is at
the door reception must establish the routing. This is done usually
with each step signed off Routing Form that gives the full road map
of the particle. (HCO PL 25 Jul 72)

International Board of Scn. Be sure key posts are covered even if
doubled. Make sure there is an Executive Director on post doing
Exec Dir work of running org, a registrar, a Letter Registrar,
somebody on public, somebody on accounts, somebody receiving and
mailing the mail, somebody answering phone, somebody selling books,
and that the persons on these posts are doing these jobs. Do up the
org board properly and truly. Get Chinese School done on it daily
with all executives and staff. Make sure that quarters exist
adequate to need, that bank accounts exist in proper order and that
records of income and disbursement are being kept. Be sure the
standard unit system is in force without large sums going out on
fixed pay or unjust favoritisms. Tech: be sure that there is an
Academy in the hands of a person who knows his Scn and that there
is an HGC in the hands of somebody who can crack cases and that
staff auditors exist who can audit. The extent of action of this
rudiment is to get basic legal, basic posts, basic quarters
entirely covered, a condition which may deteriorate at other times
than at the org's beginning. So cover all these points by careful
review each time this rudiment is done. Incidentally, make sure

who burn up the staff's units with no production. Get staff meeting
reorganized and going. Hold a staff meeting, explain unit system
and how nobody can afford idle hands. The way to raise the unit is
to get busy. New wild ideas won't work. It's getting busy on the
existing ideas that raise the unit. The org makes as much as it can
deliver service and no more. Find out who thinks they are
overworked and underpaid and find out what they've done on their
jobs the past week. Raise a storm and get people busy. Tech: get
the supervisors teaming and the auditors auditing. We don't care
how at this stage. Just get them busy doing technical actions Hat

essentials 100% perfect and can actually run a pc on a meter
without goofs of any kind. (HCO PL 11 Dec 61RA)
RUDIMENT 4, (organization rudiment) Admin: check out the Letter

RUDIMENTS OF AN ORG, for some time, I have been advocating that
you get one piece of organizational data in before you do another.
This has been a very rewarding action. Orgs have become better off
at once by doing this. Therefore, let's call it rudiments of an
org, and have the HCO Area Sec get them in one at a time all the
while the Exec Dec is keeping things running. You get in one simple
thing. Then you get in another. An org is composed of two factors.
These are technical and administration. These must never get out of
balance, in either personnel numbers or programs.

Therefore when getting to org rudiments, you always get one in in
Tech and one in in admin at the same time. (HCO PL 11 Dec 61RA)
RUIN, before you can save someone from ruin, you must find out
what their own personal ruin is. This is basically - what is
ruining them? What is messing them up? It must be a condition that
is real to the Individual as an unwanted condition, or one that can
be made real to him. (HCO PL 23 Oct 65) RULE 28, This refers to
Rule 28 of the Training Course Rules and Regulations 28. The above
rules and regulations are inflexible, and are to be followed by all
students during the course. There will be no exceptions." (HCO PL
22 Nov 61). The above HCO PL was cancelled by BPL 10 Oct 75 III.]
RULE OF EXCEPTIONS, the idea of an executive handling the
