Definitions

1. there is only one Guardian, WW for each org. There may be Assistant Guardians in larger orgs acting as liaison personnel for the Guardian. (HCO PL 1 Mar 66)

2. the most senior executive of Scn just below the Executive Director. The post is senior to Executive Secretaries. The character of the post is best understood legally as "trustee" or even "proprietor sole" and exercises the powers and carries out duties similar to that of a high church officer entrusted with the funds or survival of his group. The Guardian may use the signature "trustee" in business letters or dealing with outside interests such as law firms and may claim and establish the status of proprietor sole when corporate status of Scn funds or interests is in question. The Guardian is posted in every executive division by post and name in Division 7. (HCO PL 1 Mar 66)

3. the purpose of the Guardian is: to help LRH enforce and issue policy, to safeguard Scn orgs, Scientologists and Scn and to engage in long term promotion. The keynote of the post of Guardian is that it functions without being closely involved with the mechanics of administration or orgs. An Assistant Guardian can exist in any org that is big enough. It may not be worn as an additional hat. It is appointed only by the Guardian. A Guardian is appointed by the Executive Director personally. The first Guardian is Mary Sue Hubbard. (HCO PL 1 Mar 66)
