Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of House Resolution 1144. The resolution expresses the House of Representatives' condolences for the families of the victims of the powerful earthquake in Chile, as well as solidarity with and support for the people of Chile. Chile and the United States have a long-standing and important partnership. It is one of mutual respect and understanding. Both countries understand their democratic and economic prosperity are aligned, and that we need to work together for our mutual benefit. The devastating disaster that has struck Chile is a humanitarian imperative requiring immediate action. Millions of families have lost their home or been displaced by the gigantic earthquake and the following tsunami and strong aftershocks.
