Donne Flanagan mistakenly claimed in a posting (11-27-01) to this list (see
"[harmful-hydro] St. Paul Area Council of Churches recommendatio") that as
of October 30, 2001, the Saint Paul Area Council of Churches 
" . . . support the agreements reached between Manitoba Hydro and the four
Cree Nations . . . "  Mr. Flanagan reproduced in his e-mail a paragraph
which contained preliminary wording of a recommendation under consideration
by a committee of the St. Paul agency.  He did not even obtain the final
wording of the proposal to circulate to this list.

To correct Mr. Flanagan's mistaken claim, the Director of Congregations in
Community at the Saint Paul Area Council of Churches, Mr. Bob Walz, sent
the following letter to Mr. Flanagan.

Donne Flanagan,

It has come to my attention that you are circulating a draft of our Public
Policy Committee's position regarding Manitoba Hydro and the northern Cree
nations. This was a draft I sent out that included the note that it would be
presented to the SPACC Board in December. As of December 11, 2001, the
position has not yet been adopted. Further, based on feedback we received,
the Public Policy Committe has modified the wording of the draft
recommendation you received.

Please do not distribute information that says SPACC has adopted a position
until they actually do. At this point, no recommendation has been adopted by
the Board.

We were very impressed with the presentations made by the Cree Nations of
northern Manitoba and appreciative of their visits here.If you have any
questions, please contact me at Saint Paul Area Council of Churches,
651-646-8805, extension 19.

	Sincerely,

Robert G. Walz, Director

Furthermore, I spoke with Mr. Walz over the phone on December 11, and I
hear from him there is a good possibility that the Board may not adopt a
policy on this matter in the near future.  I question Mr. Flanagan's
hastiness to advertise.
