the meaning of the
word SEC ED is "Secretarial to the
Executive Director." The
word Secretarial applies to the signature meaning it is signed as official by a person other than
LRH personally. It is the written initials in the lower
left-
hand corner that are secretarial. The system came into
use to accommodate
cable orders originally. By being sealed and initialed by an official person like a Notary
Public in the
org, the
validity of the
order was attested as a valid
order of
LRH.
