   • 1992 February 1, Joseph I. Goldstein, Paul D. Ramshaw, Sarah B. Ackerson, “An Investment Masquerade: A Descriptive Overview of Penny Stock Fraud and The Federal Securities Laws”, in The Business Lawyer‎, volume 47, number 2, pages 775–776 of 773-835:

     Hughes stock was not listed on a national exchange or quoted on the National Association Securities Dealers (NASD) automated quotation system (NASDAQ). Instead, the stock was listed in the “pink sheets.” Individual investors rarely have access to the pink sheets and the information in the pink sheets is not very helpful. The pink sheets contain the names of broker-dealer firms making a market in the stock. Most firms are listed in name only and do not provide bid and ask quotations. Those broker-dealer firms entering quotations are not obligated to execute trades at those prices. In addition, the pink sheets do not reveal when the last trade of the stock occurred, what the stock's trading volume was, or whether the price of any stock sold approximated any quote listed in the pink sheets.

They are printed on pink newsprint and distributed to broker-dealers daily by the National Quotation Bureau. reau, Inc. The NASD is currently operating, on a pilot-program basis, an automated quotations system called the OTC Bulletin Board Service. […]

   • 1977 June 20, Sanford Joseph Heilner, Introductory letter to Heilner letters and diary‎:

     I have learned much during the last month concerning the "Familiant Laws" that were enacted in Bavaria in the Eighteenth Century and lasted until the year 1861. I received my information through the help of my sister, Claire Freedman, who found the information in the Leo Baeck Institute in New York City. These laws are all listed in the book, "Die Juden in Bayern im Wandel der Zeiten." (The Jews in Bavaria down through the times) This has explained to me the reason for the permit that Feifer Gutmann was waiting for in order to get married and other things now found on the pink sheets.

   • 1984 August 1, S.D. Neill, “The Reference Process and Certain Types of Memory: Semantic, Episodic, and Schematic”, in RQ‎, volume 23, number 4, page 420 of 417-423:

     Perhaps even more interesting in the Lynch A7 dialog is the schema behind the question the librarian asks after repeating something the patron says on the phone: “Pink sheets? I'm not aware of anything that's called pink sheets.” She does not ask, “What is a pink sheet?” but “What do they do?” She asks about the function of the pink sheets. Whatever the patron has said (this is a transcription of a phone call, and the patron's words were not recorded), he has not explained what the pink sheets are. The librarian has a schema for forms that includes a slot for the term sheets as an alternate designation, and may even have a slot for the word pink, as in pink slips (which perform the function of informing people that they are fired).

     The biggest challenge facing federal officials this week was a mountain of paperwork. At NIH, for example, about 1000 peer comments (“pink sheets”) from the December round of reviews were piled up, awaiting shipment to the next stage of review.

   • 2017 April 1, Lauren Kurtz, “The Application of Open Records Laws to Publicly Funded Science”, in Natural Resources & Environment. Science & The Law‎, volume 31, number 4, page 5 of 3–6:

     Just as the federal system allows for the application of common law privileges regarding federal FOIA requests, some states have allowed the application of common law privileges to withhold scientific research sought pursuant to state open records request. […] In another case, Progressive Animal Welfare Society v. University of Washington, 125 Wash. 2d 243 (1994), an animal rights group sought records related to a grant proposal that was submitted but ultimately not funded, including internal, confidential peer-review correspondence formally summarized in so-called “pink sheets.” The Washington Supreme Court held that Washington's deliberative process privilege applied to protect the peer-review correspondence sought because “the pink sheets foster a quintessentially deliberative process.”

   1. An ethics memo by the United States House Committee on Ethics.
      • 2013 December 9, Peter Overby, “Ethics Panel Hands Down Holiday Gift Rules — In Rhyme”, in NPR‎:

        The Committee dug deep, and it thought really hard,
        Before issuing its guidance (with the help of its bard).
