I think that mangled phrase was supposed to be something like:
'prior to issue' meaning before final release
Or
'to a set of expected issues' i.e. against anticipated or planned real life stressors, war, famine, global depression, etc.
Just my 2¢...
I read it as “took issue”.
“K” struck, again.
:)?
“Took issue”
It is a typo. You can figure it out easily for yourself but you can prove it by looking at the document itself.
