From: Haiti123@aol.com
On Tuesday, December 5th, Farah Juste, the Fanmi Lavalas representative in
Miami, told Radyo Pep La that during Saturday's meeting, held in Griffin
Park, between Senator Christopher Dodd of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee and distinguished representatives of the Haitian community in
Florida, Senator Dodd voiced his opposition against the current U.S. policy
of blocking U.S. and international funds and loans to Haiti. Senator Dodd
vowed to join with other members of the U.S. Congress and Senate to pressure
for the release of humanitarian funds to Haiti, particularly the 146 million
dollar loan being withheld by the Inter-American Development Bank.
