According to a policy letter by Hubbard entitled HCO PL "Issues,
Types Of", only LRH was authorized to issue policy letters with green
ink on white paper. They were called HCO PLs (Hubbard Communications
Office Policy Letters.).
Green ink on cream (buff) coloured paper was reserved for others.
These issues were called BPLs, or Board Policy Letters. A BPL could
NOT cancel an HCO PL. Hubbard's policies were senior in authority. If
a Board Policy Letter contradicted with an HCO PL, the HCO PL was to
be followed. According to Hubbard's mandate, only Hubbard could cancel
or revise an HCO PL.
Other types of issues, of the "technical" type were called bulletins.
In the early days Hubbard had Professional Auditor's Bulletins (PABs).
As things changed in Hubbard's Scienoland kingdom, he issued HCO Bulletins,
or HCOBs. Then there came into existence BTBs, or Board Technical Bulletins.
BTBs are red ink on cream coloured paper. HCOBs are red ink on white paper.
Again, the WHITE paper was reserved for Hubbard; cream colour for others.
An HCOB was senior to a BTB. A BTB could not cancel an HCOB. Only Hubbard
could cancel or revise Hubbard's issue. Remember -- Hubbard was "SOURCE".
Of course, many HCOBs were written by others, but were simply
signed by Hubbard. Still others were issued with the words "LRH, as
assisted by David Mayo" (or whoever), or "CS-4, as ordered and approved
by LRH".
Another Hubbard-only issue type was the LRH ED, or L Ron Hubbard
Executive Directive.. These were directives (orders) from Hubbard
and were blue ink on white paper.
In the Sea Organization, Flag Orders are the equivalent to policy letters.
They are black ink on white paper always, but one difference here is that
FOs were not reserved for Hubbard only. (In reality, many others issued
HCO PLs, HCOBs, LRH EDs, etc under Hubbard's name, but I am talking
*theory* here.)
