Mr. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to bring to the attention of my colleagues two billsH.R. 3663. the Haitian Refugee Fairness Act and H.R. 3364 which would allow the children of legal United States residents to adjust their status here In the United Statesthat I Introduced at the close of the first session of the 103d Congress. Time and time again we have heard that Haitians are fleeing economic oppression and not political persecution. While I agree that after years of dictatorship and corruption. Hatis economy Is a disaster. I disagree that the people of Haiti are not fleeing the violence they are being subjected to at the hands of the military and the violent political movement known as FRAPH. the Front for the Advancement and Progress of Haiti. a paramilitary antiArstide force. the acronym means "hit" or "strike" in Creole.
