Again, the words mandate and authorization
are synonymous.



Not in any dictionary I can find, nor in Roget's.



Princeton University's WordNet...

Click on "Use WordNet Online" and enter "mandate." Notice the word
"authorization" right next to it for the first definition. Notice the word
"mandatory" next to it for the second definition. Mandate and

authorization
are synonymous in the context used.

Circumlocutory, Dwight. I understood your implied intent by the use of the
word mandate and they did, too. ; )
