HCO COPE OFFICER

1. the amount of distraction and orders thrown at a HAS is a why for failures to establish the org. The way to cope with all this torrent of distraction and orders is to appoint an HCO Cope Officer. The HAS then does orderly expansion. The HCO Cope Officer handles the noise and screaming emergencies. In actual fact the HCO Cope Officer makes HCO produce in some way, any old way. (HCO PL 10 Aug 71) 2. defends the establishing functions of the HAS by first doing and then getting sections of HCO to do all the functions of HCO. The HCO Cope Officer is actually the product officer of HCO. The senior is the HAS because her product is the whole org. (HCO PL 10 Aug 71) 3. an HCO Cope Officer deals with the mad scramble of backlog, must forbid internal transfers and forbid a rip-up of what is already established. (LRH ED 146 INT)
