All prices are quoted from the order form insert in Issue 146 of CAUSE,
a publication of the American Saint Hill Organization Foundation in 
Los Angeles.  (from 1986, I think.  It was addressed to a previous resident
of a house where I lived at the time.)  The banner says the ASHO Foundation
"delivers upper level training and OT Preparation Auditing to Working
Scientologists (tm) Evenings and Weekends."

This issue of CAUSE also urges you to buy a *second* E-Meter (tm) with the
following ad:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
[Picture of an E-Meter (tm)]		Computer Accurate
					The perfect companion to
					your 100% standard tech

Buy your second meter NOW

HCOB 4 December 1977 _Checklist for Setting up a Session and an E-Meter_
states as items "..31. E-METER  32. SPARE METER  33. PRELIMINARY METER CHECK."
(LRH)

What could be more important than being able to continue a session where,
say, an engram chain is successfully being contacted and run out, despite
a sudden and inexplicable malfunction of the meter?  A second meter is
something no true professional will do without.  Do you have one?
--------------------------------------------------------------------

So apparently you're supposed to shell out $4600 for two E-Meters alone.

On another page is a description of LRH Tech Films, some of which show you
how to use the E-Meter.  I think the description of film EM6 is interesting:

EM6: False Tone Arm
In this important film, Ron brings the student to full understanding of the
subject of False TA -- and finishises off any problems he'll have with it
from here on out!
The scene is an org in trouble!  Some pcs [pre-clears] have, of all things,
requested refunds.  Auditor Bill Keen is at the root of the mess and this
is the story of how he comes to an understanding of his problems and of
his own case in the process.
No auditor can call himself trained until he fully grasps the subject of
False TA.

Imagine that.  People becoming dissatisfied with Ron's infallible tech and
requesting refunds, of all things.  I assume our hero, Bill Keen, finds a
way to keep their money.

how the courses above fit together or how many of them the student needs
to take.  I'm also not related to Scott Goehring in any way, even though
our names rhyme.
