The stable rule of a good HAS or HCO Cope Officer is NEVER UNMOCK A WORKING INSTALLATION.

It takes a lot of executive time and effort to build up a section or dept or division.

For someone to then come along and scramble it up with transfers is a criminal action.

If a unit, section, dept or division is operating well, don’t unmock it.

Strengthen it. Hat it better. Put apprentices in it opposite to its posts to learn. Give it help.

But DON’T SCRAMBLE IT.

Issued with a small amount of R6 data in 1964, three or four persons promptly used it on pcs knowing well it was forbidden. The pcs became ill or misemotional toward us. And just the day I write this (original writing 4 October 1965) I myself encountered a pc, very ill, who had had some original R6 data misused on her and did not suspect why her case and health had worsened. She was not ready for it at all.

The work of years can be destroyed overnight by “urgent,” “vital” personnel action.

The issue earlier was a trial balloon, in a sense. I found certain persons (a small minority) were not up to responsibility for the material of April 1964.

Such crazy actions are only done by people too lazy to recruit and train new people or by unreal financial planning or a failure to get it to produce.

Therefore our firm action will be that the moment we find the material of the Clearing Course or Advanced Course has escaped or been misused we will quickly trace the person who was insecure and cut off all further or any future Clearing or data issue to that person. The likelihood of independent discovery even with clues has proven to be non-existent by actual review of auditors trying to find pieces of it when they had over half of the answers already.

THE MAIN REASON WE HAVE EVER HAD SLUMPS HAS BEEN UNMOCKING ORGS OR UNITS.

You must realize that we suffer, all of us, from the misuse of knowledge concerning the mind at a very early period. To place this data near such people as psychiatrists or even states places them in a position to enslave people or repeat the original action and cave people in. A very small minority, receiving incorrect data did promptly use it harmfully on others after April 1964.

Firing people, too heavy ethics, putting off people as “PTS” when all you needed was to pull their withholds, a thousand reasons can be given for unmocking an org or its parts.

Until we ourselves have climbed well out of the hole, we must safeguard the materials. Our case gains depend on it. And others could make our salvage of people impossible.

They are all cover-ups for execs who won’t keep the place busy and for HCO failures to recruit, train and hat.

We do not safeguard these materials from any commercial consideration. Our futures, those of each of us and those of all Scientologists, depend on our keeping this material under lock and safeguarded from abuse until we are well away as a group and can handle things better as individuals as well as a group.

To do so is a sign of insanity.

The road is wide open to anyone to come up the grades and obtain them. But it is shut to any who misuse them or injure their security.

People like their jobs.

Students of the Advanced Courses, the Advanced Course C/S and Supervisor, Ethics Officers and all HCO and Org staff have it in their personal interest to enforce security of materials to the limit.

DON’T UNMOCK A WORKING INSTALLATION.

These restrictions apply to no data up to Grade V.

From Power Processing on up the data is confidential. Up to there, you can release Scientology data as you always have – freely and to everyone. But this last bit is dangerous in unskilled or uneducated or unscrupulous hands and it is purely ours. It belongs to the Scientologists who keep the show on the road and must be available to them when they are ready.
