I wish to thank all HCOs and Central Orgs outside the United Kingdom for their financial support of existing research lines.

Much of the research advances I have made in the last few months were possible because:

1. The increasing self-determinism of HCOs and Central Organizations, as attested by their increasing size and income, has freed me from much administrative labour and worry, thus giving me more research time, and
2. Increasing financial support from HCOs and Central Organizations as well as some Franchise Holders, while not yet furnishing me all the needed facilities, has made it possible for me to extend research lines further and faster than they otherwise would have gone and has reduced and lightened the labour involved.

I wish to thank in particular all HCO Secretaries, all heads of Central Orgs, all HCO and Central Organizations’ staffs for the splendid work they are doing and for the mainstay of research support. And I wish to thank those Franchise Holders who have contributed regularly to research and who are expanding Scientology throughout the World.

We are starting this decade right!
