No org may accept any registered mail.

1. Long experience shows it comes only from psychos and governments.

2. It is a lot of trouble to obtain from the post office.

No person under sentence or awaiting a Committee of Evidence may validly petition the Office of LRH.

So just reject it.

A petition may only be submitted before or after the full course of Scientology Ethics has been taken.

There's no worry it may contain writs. It is just sent by nuts.

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.

Phones are psycho. They have no memory.

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.

Overseas phone calls are often incomprehensible and start mysteries.

One often has to hang about for 6 or 8 hours in a mystery trying to connect with a call coming in.

CABLE or TELEX is far better. Use it.

[Note: The wording of the first sentence, fourth paragraph of the above Policy Letter, has been amended from the original mimeo issue which read: “Therefore a communication from a person under legal sentence from Ethics Officers or a person named in a Comm Ev may not petition.” ]

All overseas phone calls are turned down by orgs.

Inter-org phone calls even on one continent must be discouraged.

Use telexes and cables. Then we can find out what happened.
