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.

4. 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. (5812C29)
