To re-establish Executive Directives as "high speed urgent communications having the force of policy and requiring instant emergency compliance", the following types and appearances of mimeos are instituted:

Blue ink on blue paper.

E.D.'s are there to say WHAT POLICY should be concentrated on, not to give new orders.

E.D.'s are high velocity comm lines used to change personnel, to handle emergencies or to make limited time policies or to handle personnel conflicts or chronic slumps.

E.D.'s MUST BE SPECIFICALLY ASSIGNED TO A PERSON OR PERSONS who will be responsible for doing it. E.D.'s containing projects require doingness. THEY must be done by someone.

E.D.'s expire one year from their date of issue if not sooner by reason of their text.

E.D.'s are entered in a log similar to LRH Comm Log but in the Dept of I & R of issuing org. Compliance to every E.D. must be reported to I & R of issuing org.

The penalty for not complying with an E.D. is a misdemeanour and must result in an Executive Ethics Hearing or an Ethics Hearing.

If Continental Executive Secretaries fail to respond to WW E.D.'s, they are usually scheduled for early removal by WW.

The only answer to an ECWW E.D. if a Continental Exec is not going to do it is to immediately order his CLO at Worldwide to convene a CLO Council to take up his complaint (as per HCOPL 20 April 1969 CLO Council WW).

EC/WW E.D.'s are distributed to Continental Exec Councils and they distribute to area orgs as follows:

• l Copy to A/Guardian Area
• 1 Copy to LRH Comm Area
• 1 Copy to each Exec Sec
• l Copy to Reception ED file

Pale salmon paper. HCO Divs — green ink, Org Divs — red ink, Public Divs — black ink.

Blue paper. Green ink.

Meant for every org. Remimeo or Non-Remimeo as specified.

When an Exec Letter requests data it is headed under the HCO EXECUTIVE LETTER OF DATE line, REPORT REQUIRED. This is done only when reports are required from all orgs. When an Exec Council receives a REPORT REQUIRED HCO EXECUTIVE LETTER, the HCO Exec Sec immediately makes a folder for it, with title and date one month hence and holds it ready.

All reports received as a result (usually written on the Executive Letter received by the org) are instantly and accurately filed in that folder.

In exactly one month as visible by its date on the folder, this folder is sent to Dept I/R of senior org who has this logged to check compliance.

Blue ink on white paper. Strictly on LRH line only.
