COMPANY (FLAG) LOGISTIC PURCHASES

due to better local prices, quality or availability of certain items required by central management, these are ordered by Flag from FOLOs and occasionally from orgs. This would include such items as fuel and insurance bills of Flag but not such bills of stationships or orgs. It could include promotional items ordered for local printing, manufacturing or distribution, where these are specifically designated by Flag as Flag expense. All such logistic purchases must bear the authorization of one of the following terminals: the Founder, the Controller or their Personal Communicators on their behalf, or the Flag Purser. An external purchase order form or at times a telex authorizes the expense. (BPL 3 Nov 72RA)
