It is with great honor that I rise today to anchor this CBC Special Order hour. The Congressional Black Caucus, under the leadership of the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Richmond), is committed to sharing with this Congress, as well as with the American people, the issues of great importance to the Caucus, to Congress, and to the constituents we represent. For this Special Order hour, at this time, we believe it is very and vitally important to discuss the temporary protective status of Haiti and other countries. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my colleague, the gentlewoman from Utah (Mrs. Love), to discuss this very important issue.
