1. Hubbard Communications Offices. The
purpose of the HCO
Offices is to
act as stable
terminals to an
organization in any
given area so as to provide immediate administrative assistance to L.
Ron Hubbard when in that
area and
communications from
operations to him and from him when he is not. (
HCO PL 16
Sept 70
II) 2-the functions of this center are:
(1) the
receipt and
handling of correspondence addressed to myself,
(2) the answering and delivering of telephone
communications relating specifically to
communications addressed to me or proceeding from me,
(3) the typing of manuscripts and
investigation material from my Dimaphon records or personal dictation,
(4)
compilation of
investigation and
case information submitted to me by auditors,
(5) assistance to the
Treasurer in receiving
bills and
expediting their payment,
(6) the
care of social and governmental matters in which I happen to be concerned,
(7) maintaining my
comm lines in good
order. Casual
communication with this
office inhibits its
efficiency and involves it in
concerns which inhibit a swift
expedition of my
work. The
Office is not concerned with the activities of the
central staff beyond
acting as a
communications relay point from myself to these
operations and from these
operations to myself.

Area. In
London all three
office types exist. In
Washington and
Melbourne, Continental and
Area Offices exist together. Where there is no Continental
Office only an
Area Office exists.
(HCO PL 2 Jan 59) 5. there are three types of
HCO office. The first is
HCO Worldwide, and that actually is
HCO Limited, a British
registered company. Now all copyrights, trademarks,
rights of
materials and everything else, are assigned over to
HCO Limited, so they are mine, but are
given to
HCO Limited for
use.
HCO Worldwide is located in
London.
London is the only
organization which has a three-
stack office. It has
HCO Worldwide,
HCO Continental,
HCO London. There are three HCO
Offices working there. There are actually a
lot of the
personnel just doubling in
brass in these
offices. But nevertheless they have to keep in
sight of the
fact that there are three
offices.
Worldwide, of
course, takes
care of the
central summary of all organizations which are
enfranchised, files their
financial reports and gets the
final summary on all
legal actions that have been taken. It sums it all up, in other words.
