I urge my colleagues to join me in voicing their opposition to the administrations treatment of the crisis in Haiti and of the Haitian boat people. The unrest in Haiti will continue to be a problem in our hemisphere until we implement policies that provide a long term solution. I also urge my colleagues to support legislation which will alleviate the problems that the administration has perpetuated through its treatment of the Haitian crisis. The Democracy in Haiti Act of 1992 and the Haitian Refugee Protection Act will be a step in the right direction in restoring stability in a country struggling to achieve democracy. As the leader of the free world. the United States has a moral obligation to support their struggle.*
