An army of 6.000 has all the guns. machine guns. hand grenades. all the armored cars. and the population has nothing. So they are in control. We have the policy. We have proposals which would change the failed United States policy into a policy for returning Haiti to democratic rule. We are considering further actions. I will quickly summarize those. We are considering a request from the leadership of the Congress. We have been dealing with the President. the administration. but the leadership of this Congress needs to answer the question: Should we have a separate asylum policy for Haiti? Should we have separate and unprecedented interdiction policies for Haiti? Should we have a blockade around Haiti?
