                JOIN IN THE BIPARTISAN SKAGGS RESOLUTION

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, I proudly join with many in the 
bipartisan resolution being led by the gentleman from Colorado [Mr. 
Skaggs].
  And what does it say? It says this House must have a debate on Haiti; 
of course, we must have a debate on Haiti. There is no reason not to 
have a debate on Haiti.
  We should never commit American lives offshore anywhere without 
people being fully convinced there is some national interest that is 
really worth that. At this point, I am not convinced.
  I will give the President his chance to come and try and convince us, 
but I really think to try and evade that convincing of us is wrong 
constitutionally, is wrong politically, and does not really fall in the 
way that it should and has in the past.
  I hope everybody joins the Skaggs resolution.
