Chairman. I recently traveled to Haiti in order to get a firsthand look at the political and economic conditions there. It is my concern that if the current political and economic impasse in that country continues. there could be a social explosion that leads to a mass immigration of Haitian refugees to Florida. As certain factions inside Haiti are blocking reforms to further their own political agenda. vital measures are being stalled that could lead to more private investment in Haiti and ultimately to stabilization of this country. Economic reform In Haiti. particularly in the privatization of stateowned enterprises. is a necessary step in the improvement of Haitis economy.
