Let us have a little bit of faith in the OAS and the United Nations. two new vital agencies that will keep the peace until the situation is taken care of. Mr. Chairman. I rise today to express my strong support for the Haitian Refugee Protection Act and the senseofCongress amendment that eith.r the Uniteo Nations or the Organization of American States should send a peacekeeping force to Haiti. The Smith amendment seeks to serve the shortterm goal of protecting Haitians returning to their country from reprisal and the longterm goal of reestablishing democracy in Haiti. Today. as we celebrate the rise of struggling democratic states across the Atlantic. we must maintain our firm commitment to democracy and human rights In our neighboring country of Haiti.
