   Commending the President and the special delegation to Haiti, and 
          supporting the United States Armed Forces in Haiti.

    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
Whereas the special delegation sent to Haiti on Septem- ber 17, 1994, has 
        succeeded in convincing the de facto authorities in Haiti to agree to 
        leave power;
Whereas on September 18, 1994, after an agreement was reached in Port-au-Prince 
        that day, the President ordered the present deployment of men and women 
        of the United States Armed Forces in and around Haiti; and
Whereas the Congress and the people of the United States have great pride in the 
        men and women of the United States Armed Forces and fully support them 
        in all their efforts overseas, including those in Haiti: Now, therefore, 
        be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Congress--
            (1) commends the efforts of the President in sending former 
        President Jimmy Carter, retired General Colin Powell and 
        Senator Sam Nunn to Haiti in an effort to avoid the loss of 
        American lives;
            (2) fully supports the men and women of the United States 
        Armed Forces who are carrying out their mission in Haiti with 
        professional excellence and dedicated patriotism;
            (3) supports the efforts of the President, through the 
        special delegation, to provide for the departure from power of 
        the de facto authorities and the return of democracy and the 
        rule of law in Haiti;
            (4) affirms the commitment to national reconciliation and 
        adherence to the rule of law in Haiti; and
            (5) supports an orderly withdrawal of all United States 
        Armed Forces as soon as possible.
