Abstract
We investigate supersymmetric models where neither R parity nor lepton number is imposed. Neutrino masses can be kept highly suppressed comp ared to the electroweak scale if the mu terms in the superpotential ar e aligned with the SUSY-breaking bilinear B terms. This situation aris es naturally in the framework of horizontal symmetries. The same symme tries suppress the trilinear R-parity-violating terms in the superpote ntial to an acceptable level.
