Mrs. SCHROEDER. if any of them would tell me and the other Members of the House what figures we are likely to be talking about for 500.000 Salvadorans. My amendment would strike $50 million in targeted assistance for an estimated 70.000 refugees. Most of the Salvadorans whose status would be legalized under H.R. 822 are similarly situated. they are mostly unskilled and illiterate. both in their own language as well as in English. The analogy is therefore a valid one. and I would be happy to yield to anyone on the other side of the aisle who could give us all a sense of the precedent we will be setting if my amendment is defeated.
