HUBBARD COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE
Saint Hill Manor, East Grinstead, Sussex
HCO POLICY LETTER OF 13 FEBRUARY 1966
Issue II
Remimeo
All Exec Hats
SEC EDS
SEC ED OK (CONTINUED)
POL LTR CHANGES AND ORIGINS
"SEC ED" = Secretarially signed order of the Executive Director,
expiring one
year from date of issue.
"POL LTR" = A letter laying down Policy continuing until cancelled by a
new
Pol Ltr.
The Executive Secretaries may not change or edit a Secretary's or
AdComm's SEC ED but may only pass or send it back with comments.
A Secretary likewise may not change another lower executive's SEC ED in
the Secretary's Division but must only pass it on or send it back with
comments.
An Executive Secretary or a Secretary may have a job endangerment chit
filed for refusing to pass a SEC ED an executive believes vital to uphold
his or her statistic, with a full explanation of why.
The LRH Communicator may refuse to pass a SEC ED only if it is against
policy and if so, then the full reference of what policy letter or SEC ED
it violates must be furnished with the refusal. This means of course that
an LRH Communicator must be well up on Policy. Nebulous "It's against
policy" is a violation of the LRH Comm's instructions from me.
If no policy concerning such a SEC ED is known to exist yet the SEC ED
seems to the LRH Communicator to put the org at risk, the SEC ED must be
cabled to the LRH Comm WW for further advices.
If by refusing to issue a SEC ED, an executive's statistic becomes bad
and if this is traced beyond reasonable doubt in any resulting hearing on
that Executive, the LRH Communicator must be given a hearing.
On the other hand if a SEC ED is passed by an LRH Communicator that is
clearly against published policy letters and results in dropped statistics
then if any hearing occurs on the Executives whose statistics dropped the
LRH Communicator must be made interested party.
______________________
THEORY
The theory operating here is that SEC EDs are supposed to improve
statistics and that one cannot hold an executive responsible for his or her
statistic if that executive's orders are prevented from being issued.
An executive worth anything at all will issue specific orders to remedy
a dropped statistic or reinforce a climbing one and as that executive is
awarded or penalized only on the basis of the statistics he or she is
responsible for, interference with his or her orders can be serious.
