I believe our committee will also take a close look at our activities in Haiti later this year. These actions. plus this amendment. should assure that our programs will do the job or be terminated. The amendment also provides a 1year exemption to allow some assistance. to Haiti to help stem the flow of illegal immigrants to the United States. This is part of a larger question of assistance to law enforcement agencies. It is a particular problem in the Caribbean region. which is beset by problems of drug trafficking and illegal emigrant flows. which are often the responsibility of police forces in countries with small or nonexistent military structures. We may have to take a look at the adequacy of current legislation to deal with these problems. This amendment in no way prejudges the conclusion of such a review. and it is clearly limited to an exemption for a single purpose in a single fiscal year for a single country.
