Acid Rain
Your editorial in the Jan. 10 Times on acid rain was welcomed by all those in Canada and the United States who are anxious to see a resolution to this costly and far-reaching problem.
I think it is particularly commendable that The Times has taken this stance on an issue that does not have as high a profile in Southern California as it does in other parts of your country and Canada. I also agree with your editorial that while the acknowledgment of the essentially man-made cause of acid rain is an important step forward, the key will be to see how the report is acted upon by Washington and whether it will lead to the implementation of an acid rain control program in the United States.
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has already stated that the report of the acid rain envoys will be high on the agenda at his meeting with President Reagan in Washington on March 18.
