PROGRAM CHECKING

HCO Communicator is to have personal charge of an activity called program checking. When a program comes into the lines, be it by cable, dispatch, or policy letter, the HCO Communicator is to call in the six division secretaries, and carefully checks them out on the points in the program, and what action is to be taken, in such a way that the open line to Saint Hill and Ron is quite apparent. The drill on this is done in this fashion.(1) first of all, the HCO Communicator checks the Division head on duplication of the communication -that is, questions calculated to assess if the Division Sec has read the comm and knows what it said.(2) Then the Communicator asks the Division Sec questions pertaining to what he is going to do in effecting the comm.
