Well, of course, he's going to say that. That's what he's been saying ever since--that's what he told us when he abrogated the Governors Island accord. ``I gave my word. I never expect President Aristide to keep his word. President Aristide called my bluff, kept his word, and so I'm going to shaft the agreement.'' That's what he said on September 30th. So he hasn't changed his mind since then. But we may be able to do better now. And I think the gentleman to my right is a person of extraordinary ability; maybe he can do some things we haven't done yet. We're going to give it our best shot. [At this point, a Cuban-American expressed appreciation for the new policy on Haiti.]
