The Sea Org is an obvious success. Its promotional and mission actions resulted in a highest ever worldwide statistic in early Feb 1968.

"Rationalizing a statistic" is a derogatory term meaning finding excuses for down statistics.

The Zones of Activity of the Sea Org are therefore of general interest and are outlined for future Sea Org planning.

Finding excuses or reasons why a stat is down does NOT bring it up and at best is a scathing comment on the lack of foresight or initiative of the executive in charge of the area.

What is wanted is (1) prevention of stats going down and (2) quick action to bring them up.

The Sea Org sends its officers to individual orgs with unlimited powers to handle

Being reasonable about their being down should be regarded as AGREEMENT WITH THEIR BEING DOWN. Which is, of course, suppressive.

(a) Ethics

"Well, the letters out stat is down because we were paying a girl so much per letter and 'policy' stated we could not hire anyone so we fired her and that's why letters out is down."

(b) Tech

That was an actual rationalization given in Wash D.C. for the collapse of the org last year.

(c) Admin.

To begin, there is no such "policy" and surely no policy exists to have down stats. So, here the felony is compounded by seeking to blame policy for a down stat which for sure revealed the action as a suppressive effort to rationalize (and get away with) a down stat.

A general Sea Org Mission handles all three.

The only reason stats are down, ever, is because somebody didn't push them up. All other reasons are false.

Individual Sea Org Missions go out to handle only one of the above also.

An individual Sea Org mission may be sent to handle a specific situation.

Some people have a METHOD of handling a down stat which is a fixed idea or cliche they use to handle all down stat situations in their lives.

The most successful Sea Org mission to date handled (a) Ethics (b) Tech (c) Admin and a specific situation.

These people are so at effect they have some idea sitting there "that handles" a down statistic.

• "Life is like that."

Sea Org promotional tours where Sea Org members address the public are a major

item.

These work well in any way but would do best on invitation from orgs and long term advance notice to public.

General Sea Org promotion, magazine, literature, is effective in general world wide stats as well as Sea Org stats.

They KNOW it isn't any use trying to do anything about anything and that it is best just to try to get by and not be noticed — a sure route to suicide.

Controlling the upper end of the Bridge and having so many Class VI and Class VIIs and OT Grade Vs and OT Grade VI personnel, the technical level of the Sea Org is very high.

Instead of seeking to prevent or raise a declining stat in life such people use some fixed idea to explain it.

That the public knows it and these OT levels are real and exist and are available is a factor in world wide stats, persuading people to begin the lower end of the bridge.

This is a confession of being in apathy.

One can always make stats go up. Hard work. Foresight. Initiative. One can always make stats go up. That's the truth of it, and it needs no explanations.

The actions of the Sea part of the Sea Org being adventurous, is good will advertising.

The confront and organizational ability of Sea Org personnel is high above that of purely admin personnel.

Such activities give a strong base for Sea Org predominance.

The Sea Org has an area of public or political control based on

A. ETHICS ACTION

B. PEACE

C*. FINANCE AND ADM IN

The above are the basic elements in Sea Org planning for use in future activities and for use by orgs in coordinating with the Sea Org.
