Definitions

1. \[0. the company which operated all Scientology organizations over the world and was the general membership group of the Church from mid 1950s to mid 1960s. The Church of Scientology International has replaced HASI in the operation of orgs, and the International Association of Scientologists (IAS) is the current membership group. (OEC Lectures Glossary)\]

2. the company which operates all Scn organizations over the world and Saint Hill. (HCO PL 20 Feb 65)

3. the first organization we ever had in Scn was the Office of L. Ron Hubbard. That was the old Phoenix, Arizona, office that I first put together. It eventually became HASI. (SH Spec 57, 6504CO6)

4. the principal Scn organization in the world is the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. The HASI in (city) controls all Scn in (country). The HASI is (country's) largest mental health organization and has a dozen practitioners for every one in other mental practices. The association is not political in nature. It is humanitarian. (HCO Info Ltr 14 Apr 61)

5. HCO has no interest in the number of personnel employed by HASI in tech or admin, this being entirely up to the Central Org officers. If HASI thinks it can get along with far less and still render service acceptable to HCO, then it's all up to HASI. 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. On promotion, driving in people on the Central Org is a primary function. This does not mean individual people. It means masses of people. HCO deals in masses and mobs and HASI deals in individuals. HCO is a mass dissemination organization. HASI is an individual service organization. HCO is the "Madison Avenue" of Scn, meaning it's the advertising broad public presence unit. But "Madison Avenue" does not run the business it serves. It only makes them look brighter to the potential public. I think this gives us a new look at HASI-HCO relationships and their zones of responsibility. (HCO PL 28 Oct 60, HASTHCO Relationship Discussed)

6. a religious fellowship to which all the people interested in Scn or the higher level, higher echelon of life as a science belong. This organization (the HASI) was put together by myself first as the HAS and then there was a Raw in its incorporation papers (which flaw is just simply an attorney's foolishness-he didn't state accurately whether it was a profit or non-profit corporation). In order to get over that we organized the HASI. In other words changed its name to Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. By the addition of that name we got a reincorporation of it merely to clarify its corporation papers. That organization is mainly a professional organization of auditors. It still does publishing, it does handling and more important than that it has a Corporation Service Department and that handles the various business matters for a percentage of these other corporations. The HASI is employed by other corporations which have different boards entirely to do its business. Rather than have a big staff for the Foundation (Hubbard Dianetic Research Foundation) which handles the certificates and handles the mailing the Foundation simply hires the HASI staff to do this. (541OC04)

7. the HASI is not a successor corporation to the HAS. The HASI is a religious fellowship and it is in company with and affiliated with but is not the same corporation as the Church of American Science on the one hand and the Church of Scientology on the other hand. These are three organizations which fit together with the sole and avowed purpose of doing something about the human soul, about life in general. The two churches involved there simply form the public organizations of the HASI. With these two corporations we form public congregations and so forth. The public would belong to one of these churches individually. But everybody managing or having anything to do with that church really on an official basis would actually be a member of the HASI. The public doesn't belong to the HASI. The public belongs to the church. (541OC04)

8. purpose: to disseminate Scn. To advance and protect its membership. To hold the lines and data of Scn clean and clear. To educate and process people toward the goal of a civilized age on earth second to none. To survive on all dynamics. (HCO London, 9 Jan 58)
