CONGRESSMAN MEEK MAKING TRIP TO HAITI

U.S. Rep. Kendrick B. Meek will travel to Haiti Saturday to examine the country's security conditions and visit U.S. construction projects in the northern region.

The Miami congressman, who represents one of the largest Haitian-American constituencies in the country, will meet with U.S. Ambassador James Foley and other U.S. officials during his daylong visit. He will be joined on the trip by Gen. Bantz J. Craddock, commander of U.S. Southern Command in Miami.

This is Meek's fourth trip since Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide fled into exile Feb. 29, 2004.
