1. it's in
charge of the
org boards, in
charge of the
personnel, it's in
charge of
hatting, it's in
charge of the
communication, which gives it
communication lines, because an
organization consists of the
lines. It's in
charge of
inspection and it's in
charge of
ethics.
HCO builds,
holds, maintains, mans and controls the
organization and it's the orders
issue section.
(FEBC 8, 7101C24 SO 1) 2. a stable
point to which can be communicated
communications and difficulties in any
area and these
communications are forwarded to the proper
terminal in the
organization, or an
analysis is made of the difficulty and communicated to another
HCO terminal for clarification there. In addition to that,
LRH may require reports on or about a
given area and it is up to the
HCO Office to
supply this
information. The
HCO should
consider itself more of a troubleshooting
unit than a
secretarial office. It is true that it is an
office, and it must be conducted precisely as an
office. It is true that it is
secretarial and it is also true that it does have the function of being an extended pair of eyes for
LRH.
(HCO PL 16 Sept 70 II) 3. few people realize that
HCO is actually a separate
company. It is the
worldwide comm network of
Dn and
Sen. As its
finances and
personnel are meshed in with the rest of the
org, its identity does not stay visible. But
note it is still called
HCO and the rest of the divisions are called "the
organization" and it is divided off on the
org board.
(HCO PL 7 Feb 70 II) 4. HCO was originally organized as the
Division I used to operate the
org. The
HCO Area Secretary was looked on as my
secretary.

HCO, is known as the
Communications Division and the Third
Mate is its divisional
officer.
(FO 1109) 6. HCO is the
justice agency of
Scn and Scientologists in addition to other functions.
(HCO PL 17 Mar 65 II, Rights of a Staff Member; Students and Preclears to Justice) 7. this was the original
HCO, a
private unincorporated
business which was taken from
London when we came to
Saint Hill. It became the
Hubbard Association of Scientologists Inc.
Worldwide Division. This
HASI was an
American company.
HASI Inc. still owns all the
property and
equipment as it has never been transferred by formal
board action. But this
company (
HCO) is
dormant and its letterhead should never be used.
(HCO PL 30 Sept 64) 8. purpose: to be the
Office of
LRH. To
handle and
expedite the
communication lines of
LRH. To prepare or
handle the preparation of manuscripts and other to-be-published material of
Sen. To keep,
use and
care for
LRH's
office equipment. To
assist the organizations of
Scn and their people. To
set a good
example of
efficiency to organizations.
(HCO PL 12 Oct 62) 9. HCO is
(1) a
communications office and
(2) a
technical and
admin library that gives it something to communicate.
(HCO PL 4 Feb 61) 10. Central Orgs as such have a poor reputation for originating and
executing new
promotion.
HCO is responsible for
broad new
dissemination projects.
HCO's
primary function today is to do
broad dissemination and
drive business in on the
Central Org by any means within
HCO's
power.
HCO is a
mass dissemination organization.
HASI is an
individual service organization.
(HCO PL 28 Oct 60, HAS/HCO Relationship Discussed) 11. HCO is basically a
communications office. This means
fast relay.
(HCO PL 14 Oct 59) 12. Hubbard Communications Office is the enfranchising agency of
Dn and
Scn and has the say on all copyrights and trademarks,
rights of
materials and the issuance of publications.
HCO is the examining and issuing agency of all
certificates and awards.
