Speaker. we all know that months ago the OAS had an embargo against Haiti. and it was the United States that exempted itself. allowed its friends to bring in the oil. Ships are leaving Miami. Business people are exempt from it. So. it seems to me that. if we have any compassionate concern at all about the refugees. that we have to make a commitment that democracy has to be restored to Haiti. that President Aristide has to be returned to Haiti and that we will not negotiate with a criminal de facto government. Mr. Speaker. we cannot have anything short of the Presidents personal involvement in getting a solution to this problem. and. as my colleagues would note. the Presidents voice on this important situation has been absent.
