5 January 1983 All Missions All Orgs

COMMITTEE OF EVIDENCE

"Justice should serve as means of establishing guilt or innoncence and awarding damages to the injured. The fact of its use should not pre-establish guilt or award. Justice which by its employment alone establishes an atmosphere of guilt or greed is harmful and creates disorder.

"Justice should clarify. Good justice in effect runs out group engrams. Bad justice runs them in."

"When a state of discipline does not exist the whole group caves in. It has been noted continually that the failure of a group began with a lack of or loss of discipline."

HCO Pl 12 July 80R THE BASICS OF ETHICS

"I need to strengthen your hand and position. The best way I can do that is advise you to use Committees of Evidence in all matters of claim and discipline.

"As an executive you very often are sorely troubled by such problems. You have no time to fully hear all that could be said. You very often have to act on snap judgement. You can easily be accused of only favoring the last person who talked to you. In these and other ways your time, effectiveness and reputation may suffer.

"Stop worrying yourself over the 'unfairly dismissed staff member' or the discipline you were forced to recommend. Instead, use the Committee of Evidence system, get at the whole truth, get all sides heard and do what's recommended by the Committee - and you'll have justice, control over your people and better protection for them."
