It is our hope that with timely Senate action on this resolution followed by Senate hearings on the broader aspects of United StatesHaitian relations and appropriate United States action we can send in the strongest terms a message which will result in a recommitment to the constitution and democratic process. It is our hope that early next week the appropriate Senate committee could schedule hearings on this matter and that we could address the full response of the people of the United States to the wrongs committed against the -people of Haiti. It is my viewa view shared by many of my colleaguesthat the United States should: Terminate the issuing of visas to anyone involved in any way in human rights violations or in activities undermining Haitis transition to democracy. Use our considerable voice and vote in the World Bank and the InterAmerican Development Bank to urge a cessation of all assistance to Haiti. Immediately suspend all benefits to Haiti under the Caribbean Basin Initiative.
