Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 5 FEBRUARY 1970 Issue II | Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex HCO POLICY LETTER OF 5 FEBRUARY 1970 |
STATISTICS, MANAGEMENT BY | |
The most direct observation in an org (or a country) is statistics. | |
SCIENTOLOGY REFUNDS | These tell of production. They measure what is done. |
As part of the published Code of Reform, any parishioner requesting a refund for Ministerial training or counselling actually received or received in part and still available but undelivered only because of departure of the person requesting, is hereafter issued a Writ of Expulsion, in substitution for an SP declaration. | It cannot be said too often that management is best done by statistics. |
Handling Of | Each division in an org has a GROSS DIVISIONAL STATISTIC. This is calculated to reflect the production of that division by all its divisional members. |
A Writ of Expulsion is handled administratively as were SP Orders when they were used. This is covered by HCO Pol Ltr 7 June 1965 ENTHETA LETTERS & DEAD FILE, HANDLING OF, and the addition HCO Pol Ltr of 25 Sept, 1965. | An EXECUTIVE COUNCIL has all these GDSs available to it every week. This is done by the OIC system (Organization Information Centre). The stats are collected by each division and compiled by Dept 3 Div 1 Inspection and Reports into graphs. No matter how small an org, it has to have an OIC. |
Briefly, it is handled as follows: | The EC as a Council runs the org by observation of the GDSs. |
The Ethics Officer or HCO Area Sec issues the Writ of Expulsion and Waiver. He informs the parishioner requesting the refund of the recourse steps, including A to E. He then has him read and sign the waiver. | Conditions are assigned each Division by the EC each week according to these GDS stats. |
His folders are filed in the Deadfile. The Writ of Expulsion is stamped with the Entheta stamp. This is the usual “Entheta to Central Files to Ethics Deadfiles” stamp. | The name of the secretary of the division is noted on the graph. EC names are also on their own graphs. |
Central Files handles per policy by replacing the person’s file with a Dummy stamped “Entheta” and sends the file folder to Ethics Deadfile. | These graphs, the OIC, should be POSTED WHERE STAFF CAN SEE THEM, not hidden in some room or in only an Exec Sec’s office. They tell the rest of the org what the division is doing. |
Addresso types “Writ of Expulsion” on the person’s plate and puts it in the Deadfile drawer. | There is a lot to stat interpretation. It is covered in the Org Exec Course. |
The Writ and any folders then go back to Ethics as before. Ethics sends a copy of the Writ to other orgs. | The Gross Income stat is not the most important in the org. It is modified by the expense of the org. An apparent high income can be wiped out by ignorant or unreal financial planning, which makes the org cost more than it makes. |
Ethics makes out cards and sends to other orgs, even though they received the Writ of Expulsion, in case the person shows up in another area, at which point Ethics has full data on the person and acts accordingly. | If all other stats are up, the Gross Income will go up. |
Data regarding any parishioner requesting a refund of offerings must always be sent to Legal. | Individual staff members, secretaries and executive secretaries are commended, promoted, demoted or Comm Eved on the basis of their stats. A person with high stats has Ethics protection. A person with low stats not only has no Ethics protection but tends to be hounded. |
Dianetic refunds are covered in HCO Pol Ltr of 23 May 1969 DIANETIC CONTRACT and are handled exactly per that Policy. | Orgs are not well run by the old school tie, what professor one knew in the Ivy League University or who is shacked up with whom. Orgs run by other considerations than stats hurt the individual staff members. Orgs are well run when they are run by fairly and realistically designed stats for every staff member, division and the org. |
The Forms | Reasonableness is the great enemy in running an org. “Well, of course, the PES’s stat is down because there’s been a rail strike ...” Nonsense. |
The following is the only waiver and Writ of Expulsion to be used for any parishioner requesting and receiving a refund of his donations to Scientology. When the waiver is signed, the Writ of Expulsion is issued in the form as shown below. | The PES’s stat is down because of low production in the Public Divisions and that’s the whole and only reason. |
Rumour can kill orgs and staff members. Whopping generalities like “People are ARC broken with Scientology” is just a Suppressive Person at work. Suppressives HATE anything that helps people. Listening to rumours instead of looking at stats or instead of just producing what one is supposed to produce in an org is playing straight into the hands of the bad hats. | |
TO: THOSE CONCERNED DATE: | Stats are a safe way to operate. |
FROM: HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE | By raising individual stats we expand. |
SUBJECT: WRIT OF EXPULSION | By expanding we gain strength and influence. |

He may not receive spiritual counselling or training in any Church of Scientology until he has performed an act of contrition and availed himself of recourses to re-enter the Church. The first such recourse is: “FIND OUT WHO YOU REALLY ARE.” | Run only by statistics. |
TO: THOSE CONCERNED | |
FROM: HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE | |
