              CUBAN CRISIS DRAWS ATTENTION AWAY FROM HAITI

  (Mr. LIVINGSTON asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LIVINGSTON. Mr. Speaker, these are tough times for the White 
House--Nussbaum, Hubbell, Watson, Altman, and Hanson. These people were 
going to help President Clinton provide a departure from the phony 
decade of greed and a changing of America. It is too bad they will not 
be around for the final chapter.
  Now we see the centerpiece of the Clinton foreign policy, the great 
invasion of Haiti, being challenged in the headlines by Cuba.
  A brutal dictatorship, denial of human rights, in our own backyard, 
an interest in preserving democracy in the Western Hemisphere, and an 
overflow of refugees to Florida--these are the reasons for the White 
House going to the United Nations to put down the Haitians. What next? 
Viva Cuba libre?
