Is the full memo somewhere? I've only heard paraphrases on the radio.
That said, internally I am part of teams all the time where various options are discussed and evaluated and then when a final decision is made it is a group decision and everybody supports it, even if it isn't what they supported in the earlier conversations.
So, I would need more of the context on this particular memo. But, in general, if a bureaucrat says "I support policy A" to the president and the president says "that's fine, but B will be our policy" I then expect the bureaucrat to go out and talk about how great Policy B is. Again, that's in general and there are obvious and myriad exceptions and I don't have enough detail yet.
Stupid actual job and not keeping current on the news.
