Definitions

1. written by LRH only. These are the technical issue line. They are valid from first issue unless specifically cancelled. All data for auditing and courses is contained in HCOBs. An org needs a master file of them (and their stencil file) from which to prepare course packs. These outline the product of the org. They are distributed as indicated, usually to technical staff. They are red ink on white paper, consecutive by date. (HCO PL 24 Sept 70R)

2. are senior to all other orders in tech. Only HCOBs may revise or cancel HCOBs. HCO PLs and HCOBs require passing by LRH or the full authority of International Board Members as well as the Authority and Verification Unit. (HCO PL 9 Aug 1972)

3. the material contained in HCO Bulletins applies to the first dynamic-self, the individual. In applying HCOBs as in auditing a preclear, you see that following a certain procedure results in the remedy of a certain personal situation. Survival is the keynote of the end result. HCOB auditing tech increases the survival of the individual as an individual. (HCO PL 11 Apr 70)

4. 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. (HCO PL 5 Mar 65 II)

5. my priority line here is an HCO Bulletin. That means technical. If originated by me only it is on white paper with red ink. It must be copied by an HCO office on white paper with red ink. No copies of it must be made with any other color scheme. No other type of mimeo is permitted to use this color scheme. (HCO PL 4 Feb 61)
