Congressman FRANK. for his leadership on this important issue. This rule allows for the consideration of four amendments. I am proud to support the Managers Amendment. introduced by Congressman FRANK. which adds additional conditions to the eligibility criteria for debt relief. including complying with minimum standards for eliminating human trafficking. cooperating with American efforts to stop illegal immigration. and being committed to free and fair elections. I also support the amendment offered by my colleague Congressman HASTINGS of Florida. This amendment adds a Sense of Congress stating that. due to the current humanitarian and political instability in Haiti. including food shortages and political turmoil. the Secretary of the Treasury should use his influence to expedite the complete and immediate cancellation of Haitis debts to all international financial institutions. or if such debt cancellation cannot be provided. to urge the institutions to immediately suspend the requirement that Haiti make further debt service payments on debts owed to the institutions.
