HCO will shortly be HCO Ltd. Each HCO will present its area organization with their exclusive area franchise for use of materials of Dianetics and Scientology. This will apply in all sterling areas and U.S.

Book stocks and sales, Congresses and ACCs will be wholly under HCO supervision.

Reason: These are the hats I myself wear:

1. Enfranchisement of areas (Ethics, Technology, Awards). By reason of holding all trademarks, registered marks, copyrights, etc.

2. Book writing, promotion and even manufacturing and sales. (All this backs up on HCO anyway sooner or later.) Books handled by Assns are usually a loss anyway. We could be careful and do a win.

3. Congresses. I have to ok them and furnish tapes and appear at them, so why not supervise them, too.

4. ACCs. I have to plan, oversee, organize and give ACCs, even ok their quarters, etc., so we have to handle ACCs anyway.

5. Magazines. We have to do everything about a magazine but mail it. So here is HCO for it again.

6. Legal supervision and Accounting audits.

7. Basic arrangements and policies of organization.

My hats include HCA courses, HPA courses, HGCs, PEs, etc. to a far lesser extent and these, the highest regularly income items, are for local area organizations.

HCO is "my personal office" in an area. Therefore, to be real we have to handle what I have to handle.

Looks like a lot on our plate. But we can speed up and do it.

Maybe when we have some of these things neat, the load can be shoved off. But right now we are for it.

Therefore, even before I give the official word, HCO Secs had better give these things their eagle glance and not be taken by surprise when the orders are issued to land on one or another item above. I know we can cope.
