	...By the way, according to a recent L.A. Times poll, 84% of 
Hispanic registered voters would vote in favor of a proposed ballot 
initiative that would effectively end bilingual education in California's 
public schools and replace it with an English-immersion program.  80% of 
whites also support the initiative.  If past history is any guide, the 
numbers will go down as the election approaches, as happend with 
Proposition 187;  52% of Hispanics supported that initiative 2 months 
before the election in 1994, but 77% of Hispanics voted against it (This 
is reported in Hispanic Link Weekly Report, Oct. 20, 1997, first page).
