Mr. Chairman. I rise In strong support of the Haitian Refugee Protection Act. and I urge my colleagues to do the same. I am a cosponsor of Representative RANGELS concurrent resolution that would grant protection from deportation to Haitian refugees until a democratically elected government is returned to Haiti. The legislation we are now considering represents a compromise position. a 6month stay of deportation. and I applaud Chairman MAZZOLI and Chairman BROOKS for bringing this bill to the floor. and Mr. RANGEL for his work on this issue. We need to strongly support the restoration of the first ever democratically elected government in Haiti.
