When Google fails, I turn to DU: What exactly is a "draft statement?"

[expatriot]

I am thinking that a "draft statement" infers that it is a working document, as in "first draft, second draft.... but a lot of time my notions are erroneous lately and now i am wondering if it instead means that it has been "drafted" by a certain organization or committee and therefore infers a certain "final authority."

Which is it?

1. Where did you get this phrase from?

That would help.

3. I am trying to decide if referring to a proposal for implementing

an animal cruelty task force for our county would be "draft statement" because I want to infer that it is not meant to be a comprehensive blueprint, but rather a first draft.

2. In what context did you see the phrase used?

It would help decipher what was meant if I knew the context.

4. See #3 nt. thanks for the request for clarification sorry it took so long

to respond. I got sidetracked.

6. I would probably refer to it as a "draft proposal" or something of the

sort rather than a "statement".

5. It's when you say something stupid

No wait, that's a daft statement.
