I think that we have an obligation to see that President Aristide is returned to his rightful position. So let me once again congratulate the gentlewoman for having this special order. I think that her concern about detainees in Florida. about HIVpositive political refugees in Guantanamo. I think the whole question of the return of Aristide and a policy where we would give financial aid to Haiti to see them get back on their feet. it is clear that if a boat that should have had 250 people on it. the Neptune. the ferry boat. had 1.500 people on it and had never been inspected and. when those people saw danger and shifted from one side of the boat to the other. they found that there were not 250 people on that ship. it was 1.500. 1.250 who drowned because there were two life preservers on the boat and no lifeboats at all. The captain had one of the life Jackets. and he survived.
