Danny Davis said "I rise in opposition to the Gilman-Goss amendment. I do so because we know that Haiti has been unstable. We are not really providing that much to them. But to take away the little bit that we are providing is unconscionable. All that we are talking about is helping the poorest country in this hemisphere continue to have some hope for stability, economic development, for growth and progress.
