On the recordJuly 16, 2004
I am very pleased we are moving forward today with passage of the Haiti Economic Recovery Opportunity Act. Congressman Clay Shaw in the House and I have been working on Haiti trade legislation for some time. I thank Congressman Shaw for his support. I also want to give my sincere thanks to Senators Lindsey Graham and Ernest Hollings. Without their help and support we would not have been successful in our efforts today. Let me take a moment to mention all of our cosponsors as well: Senators Biden, Breaux, Chafee, Coleman, Daschle, Dodd, Durbin, Bob Graham, Hagel, Jeffords, Lautenberg, Lieberman, Lugar, Bill Nelson, Gordon Smith, Sununu, and Voinovich. I thank them for their support and their efforts in getting this bill passed. This bill can really change things for Haiti.
