copy of this policy letter to the petition and return it to sender. The
sender
should then reform the petition into acceptable form and return it on the
same
channels. When receiving his petition back with this policy letter attached
to it,
the sender must not assume it has been refused and become apathetic. He or
she
should realize that a favour has been done for a petition in violation of
these
policies would have to be refused by the person to whom the petitioner
addressed
it and that by rewording or complying with these policies the petition now
has a
chance and will undoubtedly be given courteous attention. A petitioner
should
consider himself fortunate if a discourteous or collective or threatening
petition is
returned as it would not be regarded as a petition by the executive to whom
it is
addressed and might colour his or her opinion of the petitioner, perhaps
obscuring
some real wrong which might well have received attention.

HCO POLICY LETTER OF 26 MAY 1965
Remimeo
ETHICS
PETITIONS
(Add to HCO Pol Ltr 29 April 1965)
No person under sentence or awaiting a Committee of Evidence may validly
petition the Office of LRH.
A petition may only be submitted before or after the full course of
Scientology
Ethics has been taken.
As all Ethics actions such as a Committee of Evidence are reviewed, in
effect a
line already exists due to the Ethics action and the facts will be on it.
Therefore a communication from a person under legal sentence from Ethics
Officers or a person named in a Comm Ev may not petition. Ethics actions
must be
permitted to take their course.
A protest from Ethics actions worded as a petition routinely causes
further
investigation as the "petitioner" is actually only protesting Ethics
actions and is
handled as such.
