BPL 4 October 72R, Esto Series 28R, HANDLING PTS AND OUT-ETHICS PERSONNEL is hereby CANCELLED.

This BPL stated that before doing a 3 May PL or PTS handling on a staff member one should verify that a situation does exist by STATISTICS. This brought about the false idea that a PTS staff member had to have down stats before he could receive any PTS handling.

In an effort to do away with this false idea, BPL 4 Oct 72R CANCELLED 22 Jan 77, Esto Series 28RA, HANDLING PTS AND OUT-ETHICS PERSONNEL, was written to cancel Esto Series 28R. In doing so, however, no explanation was given as to why this issue was being cancelled. Therefore BPL 4 Oct 72R CANCELLED 22 Jan 77, Esto Series 28RA, HANDLING PTS AND OUT-ETHICS PERSONNEL, is CANCELLED and REPLACED by this policy letter.

PTS tech has helped salvage many staff members. Its full use is to be encouraged.

The correct policies and bulletins for handling PTS and out-ethics personnel are given in the reference section above.
