On the recordJuly 10, 2002
I am cautiously optimistic. I believe that there is a team that went down to Haiti to begin to look at what is going on in the four sectors and we have urged, and I believe the gentleman participated in the meeting, the bank officials to really understand why these loans should be released, and regardless of whatever the political situation is, that the humanitarian assistance is very important to prevent misery and untold deaths which are now occurring as a result of no funding being there.
