I want to share with my colleagues a letter sent to President Reagan by 26 members of the California Legislature. It presents an interesting and important perspective on the effects in the United States of the conflict in El Salvador. The letter says in part: The war in Central America has already come home. There are. according to the Los Angeles Times. as many as 250.000 Salvadoran refugees in Southern California alone. In a short while. it is expected that ten percent of the Salvadoran population will be living in California. The cost to the State may become larger than the economic assistance now budgeted to El Salvador.
