[GreenKeys] Reperforator tape colors

[Bill]

Interesting...I don't recall using anything other than the yellow tape 
in all of our TTY's. I do remember that back in the day when we had to 
type up the messages, we used green message forms for confidential, 
white for unclassified and EFTO (Encrypted for Transmission Only) and I 
think it was pink or light red for secret and top secret. Then after we 
got "automated" with Xerox machines, everything was run off on white 
paper with the proper markings for the classification.
