DEAR Ma. PRESIDENT: While I generally agree with the views expressed in the letter from the consultative members to you. I wish to make some additional comments with regard to the refugee level set for Latin America and the Caribbean. I am particularly concerned that the refugee numbers from this region of the world have been reduced from 3.000 during the last fiscal year to 1.000 for this year. Recognizing the turmoil that currently exists in Central America and the magnitude of the migration now occurring there. I am concerned that the proposed level will not be adequate to meet the demand there. For this reason. I would request to be kept apprised of the situation in Central America and can assure you that I stand ready to consult on any proposal to increase the refugee levels for Central America should it become necessary. Sincerely.
