<p class="MsoNormal">extract follows: <strong><em></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>&#8220;General interference with organisations and production -</em></strong> <strong><em>Organisations and conferences</em></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Insist      on doing everything through “channels”. Never permit short cuts to be      taken to expedite decisions</li>
<li>Make      “speeches”. Talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate      your “points” by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experience….</li>
<li>When      possible refer all actions to committees for “further study and      consideration”Attempt to make the      committees as large as possible. Never less than five</li>
<li>Bring      up irrelevant issues as frequently as possible</li>
<li>Haggle      over precise wordings of communications, minutes, resolutions</li>
<li>Refer      back to matters decided upon at the last meeting and attempt to reopen the      question of the advisability of that decision</li>
<li>Advocate      “caution”. Be “reasonable” and urge your fellow conferees to be reasonable      and avoid haste which might result in embarrassments or difficulties later      on</li>
<li>Be      worried about the propriety of any decision – raise the question of      whether such action as is contemplated lies within the jurisdiction of the      group or whether it might conflict with the policy of some higher echelon</li>
<li>Demand      written orders</li>
<li>“Misunderstand”      orders. Ask endless questions or engage in long correspondence about such      orders. Quibble over them when you can&#8221;</li>
</ol>
