The priority of SEC EDs is as follows:
LRH Personally written or personally sent
SEC ED Adcouncil WW
SEC ED Exec Sec WW
SEC ED Adcouncil Area
SEC ED Exec Sec Area
SEC ED AdComm Area
SEC ED Secretary Area.
The penalty for not complying with a SEC ED is a misdemeanor and must
result in an Executive Ethics Hearing or an Ethics Hearing.
If Executive Secretaries in an area fail to respond to WW SEC EDs, they
are usually scheduled for early removal by WW.
SEC EDs have the virtue of making orders known and setting them on file
where they can be referred to by other than the recipient.
The only answers to a SEC ED if one isn't going to do it are:
1. An immediate petition to LRH on SEC EDs issued by LRH personally or
2. A job endangerment chit immediately filed in Ethics.
If this step is lacking and it is found that a SEC ED has not been
complied with, then an Executive Ethics Hearing or an Ethics Hearing MUST
follow when the non-compliance is discovered.
Every single major danger condition at Saint Hill in 1965 was found to
have had as its source the non-compliance with a SEC ED. If this policy
seems unduly harsh then add up that fact. Some of these danger conditions
involved day and night work by top brass. And every one of them would have
been prevented had Ethics had this attitude toward non-compliance with a
SEC ED. The cost of these non-compliances ran above ?10,000 and they
threatened the very existence of Scientology. And each one would have been
prevented had SEC EDs been complied with. From this, one should regard non-
compliance with a SEC ED without instantly petitioning or filing a chit for
job endangerment as something one does just before taking the arsenic.
The only thing that holds down the size of Scientology today is simply
non-compliance. The only thing that makes trouble is non-compliance.
The SEC ED system is designed to make orders public and get them
complied with fast.
Conversely, if the order wasn't in a SEC ED or Policy Letter, it does
not have Ethics force-that is to say one can't be seriously tried for it.
All current projects and programmes should be in SEC EDs so people know
what they are. Those written in despatches only are written in sand.
SEC EDs can be confidential and of limited issue.
SEC EDs expire one year from their date of issue if not sooner by reason
of their text.
If a SEC ED is to be preserved beyond a year it must be converted into a
Policy Letter by sending it to LRH.
The Director of Inspection and Reports is responsible for routinely
checking the SEC ED file for non-compliances and when found must forward
the matter to Ethics for prompt action.
