I already have pledged that a key official of the <br />Juan Veramendi project will be a member of the Latin-American <br />ethnic group, a person who understands the needs and problems of <br />the Latin-American community. <br /> <br />Fourth principle. .!!U& will all S2ll money. Yes. I will <br />not go into cost analysis; the Council may ask Mr. Jim Brown later <br />about such costs.

And, gentlemen, you all know what happens to an <br />untended garden. <br /> <br />pc <br /> <br />l~u{uJ W . u1L~ <br /> <br />I <br />
