At the request of Archbishop Levada, I would like to inform you of the Archdiocesan Policy regarding the release of public policy statements:
Commissions, Boards, Offices and Agencies under the auspices of the Archdiocese of San Francisco may occasionally see the need for public policy statements on specific issues. It is the policy of this Archdiocese that no statement of this type is to be released by any Commission, Board, Office, or Agency, nor by any individual as a representative of an Archdiocesan Commission, Board, Office, or Agency, without the knowledge and approval of the Archbishop or, in his absence, his delegate.
