Mr. Speaker. I rise to express my strong support for the rule on H.R. 3844. a bill to provide for a 6month delay in repatriating refugees who do not qualify for asylum and were in custody as of February 5. 1992. The measure also requires 2.000 of the total fiscal year 1992 refugee slots to be allocated for Haitians. Along with some of my colleagues. we returned last week from Haiti. and it is clear that the September coup has unleashed repression and persecution upon the longsuffering Haitian people. Hundreds of people have been killed and many more have been persecuted and fled for their lives.
