We are elected to provide moral leadership. and I believe this bill is a step in the direction of providing that. I am hopeful that all Members will join in supporting the effort. this humane effort. at preventing a minor holocaust at least and perhaps worst from occurring in Haiti. Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of H.R. 3844. the Haitian Refugee Protection Act. a bill that will enable us to provide a temporary safe haven for the Haitian refugees already being held in our custody. When last Septembers coup shook the island of Haiti. its democratically elected government was overthrown. its President was forced into exile. and the military took over. Over 1.500 Haitians were killed.
