Mr. President. last December. as a result of my visit to the Dominican Republic. I determined that the international embargo against Haiti was not accomplishing its key purposeto restore democratically elected government and replace the government backed by the military. I remain convinced that the embargo was doing little more than creating more impoverished Haitians and sending thousands of refugees to the Dominican Republic and the United States. The Organization of American States [OAS] had a very difficult task. and I believe its focus is still the correct one. But the embargos failure to accomplish its goals required a reassessment.
