A "Declaration" is being distributed by a group who have proclaimed themselves to be anWe will not post their document titled "Declaration" in our facilities or distribute it through the SGI-USA organization.
The objectives cited by these individuals are already topics of discussion within the mainstream of our movement - therefore, the establishment of a separate group within the organization to promote this agenda is not necessary.
Change based on broad-based discussion is developing in all these areas. For some people, this change is not fast enough; for others, it is too fast. We are continuing to seek a balance that correctly derives from the teaching and practice of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism in the SGI.

Comments, compared to PLN-30 from last year, this response was pretty mild. Though it was followed by a stronger worded pln 19. It turns out that the people she is talking about who are also talking to her (about the same topic) are membership in leadership positions throughout the country. "Reform USA" is part of a broad based movement.
