It *was* a tacit endorsement of IAHC's legitimacy -- there is no other 
way you can interpret it.  The fact that the USG changed directions 
later can't change that.  Interestingly enough, the fnc web site also 
demonstrates fairly clearly where the resistance was coming from -- at 
the April 97 FNCAC meeting, we find that NSI is now making its own 
proposal in opposition to the IAHC...

updated since Oct 1997.
