Prince interviews Okazaki about writing of the Proclamation.
Gregory Prince, “There Is Always a Struggle”: An Interview with Chieko N. Okazaki," Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought 45 (Spring 2012): 136
Chieko Okazaki: "In 1995 when “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” was written, the Relief Society presidency was asked to come to a meeting. We did, and they read this proclamation. It was all finished. The only question was whether they should present it at the priesthood meeting or at the Relief Society meeting. It didn’t matter to me where it was presented. What I wanted to know was, “How come we weren’t consulted?” Greg Prince: "You didn’t even know it was in the works?" Chieko Okazaki: "No. They just asked us which meeting to present it in, and we said, “Whatever President Hinckley decides is fine with us.” He decided to do it at the Relief Society meeting. The apostle who was our liaison said, “Isn’t it wonderful that he made the choice to present it at the Relief Society meeting?” Well, that was fine, but as I read it I thought that we could have made a few changes in it. Sometimes I think they get so busy that they forget that we are there."
