Almost all policy has been developed by actual experience.
The only way policy can be changed is by writing up a policy letter in
full and sending it to L. Ron Hubbard for approval or disapproval.
Policies cover hats, duties, lines, procedures, rules, laws and all
other aspects of Scientology activity except technology.
Technology is covered in HCO Bulletins.
HCO Bulletins are written by or (more rarely) for L. Ron Hubbard and are
issued by HCO and HCO Secretaries. They do not require sanction by the
International Board.
No one else may issue or authorize an HCO Bulletin.
HCO Bulletins are recommended technical data. Certificates are awarded
on the data contained in them and violation of it can therefore cause a
suspension of the certificate. This is the main power of the HCO Bulletin.
An HCO Bulletin becomes policy only if mentioned in a policy letter.
A book may become policy if made so by a policy letter.
_____________________
HCO Policy Letters are printed or (more commonly) mimeographed in green
ink on white paper. This colour combination may not be used for any other
releases in Scientology. Reprinted policy letters sometimes appear in
magazines in black ink on white paper but they are not the original.
HCO Bulletins are printed or mimeographed in red ink on white paper.
This colour combination may not be used for any other purpose in
Scientology. Reprinted HCO Bulletins sometimes appear in magazines in black
ink on white paper but they are not the original.
Committees of Evidence are called for in any violation of the publishing
or counterfeiting of an HCO Policy Letter or an HCO Bulletin or their
colour combinations or signatures.
The only other official paper from L. Ron Hubbard and HCO is the HCO
Executive Letter, usually a direct executive order or a request for a
report or data or news or merely information. It is not policy but should
be answered if an answer is requested. It is blue ink on green paper.
Using the colour combination for any other purpose or counterfeiting one
calls for a Committee of Evidence.
Sec EDs and HCO Executive Letters are basically LRH comm lines but are
used by International Board Officers also if authorized.
The other Divisions (2 and 3) have other means of comm, with other
colour flashes.
_____________________
If it is not in an HCO Policy Letter it is not policy.
HCO Policy Letters do not expire until cancelled or changed by later HCO
Policy Letters.
No officer or Scientology personnel may set aside policy even when
requesting revision.
