[lg policy] letters to representatives: lANGUAGE POLICY

[Ofelia Garcia]

Where is the signature on this letter? Is this appropriate material to post?
I don't send my personal letters to this group. If this is the kind of
posting that we're getting, then I would want my name removed from this
list. It is also MY country.
