HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
HCO POLICY LETTER OF 12 NOVEMBER 1974
(Suspends HCO P/L 9 May 74)

As very few orgs have been able to effectively institute HCO P/L 9 May 74 which posted Org Officers as Estos under the HES and OES, mainly due to a scarcity of actual trained Establishment Officers and executives, HCO P/L 9 May 74 is suspended.

Orgs should revert to an ED or CO-Product Officer-Org Officer posting.

The Product Officer may retain the title of Chief Officer or Org Exec Sec and the Org Officer may retain the title of Supercargo or HCO Exec Sec but their functions are exclusively that of the Product Officer and Org Officer of the org respectively, covering all divisions.

The CO or ED, Product and Org Officers form the Executive Council.

Anyone holding the post of HES O/O or OES 0/0 should take posts in HCO or revert to their last successful posts.

In a very small org the CO or ED is double-hatted as the Product Officer.

At this time it is FAR more important to cover HCO and make HCO do all its functions in each HCO department.

The head of every division is a Product Officer for that division.

Such division heads can have an Org Officer who has essentially the duties of an Esto as well as an Org Officer for that division. A divisional Org Officer also has, today, recruiting and hatting functions for that division.

The Prod-Org system was very workable and attention must be directed back to it as it has tended to drop out.

The following materials and tapes give the data for the Prod-Org system:

A VERY STRONG FUNCTIONING HCO IS VITAL TO BACK UP THE PROD-ORG SYSTEM.

When there is no HCO recruiting people who will stay, hatting them and apprenticing them and keeping their ethics in, there is a lot of commotion generated in an org as fast production requires not only an Org Officer but an HAS (and HCO Cope Officer) who put the org there rapidly and thoroughly.

Full use of the Prod-Org system, combined with a strong HCO that does its recruiting and hatting job brings about high stats.
