Last months food riotsand the dismissal of Prime Minister Alexis. and the Haitian parliaments rejection of Ericq Pierre. the InterAmerican Development Bank official nominated to replace himnow threaten to reverse these hardwon gains. On balance. though. for the first time in many years. Haiti has a real opportunity to build a future. And we owe it to the Haitian people to help them in this taskpartly for reasons of preserving stability in the Caribbean. and partly to provide an alternative to emigrating to the U.S.. but mostly because it is the right thing to do. As part of this ongoing commitment. we must take two immediate actions to consolidate stability by fostering economic growth in Haiti. I am pleased that one of these steps is taken by this farm bill.
