        WHAT ARE THE PRESIDENT'S MOTIVES IN HIS HAITIAN POLICY?

  (Mr. EWING asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. EWING. Mr. Speaker, Members have come to the well today who say 
we should not disparage the President's motives in his Haitian policy, 
but we do not know the President's motives. Mr. Speaker, the President 
should have the responsibility to inform this Congress of his motives 
in Haiti before he does anything.
  Mr. Speaker, we learned, or should have learned, a lesson in Vietnam. 
We cannot dictate the government of nations around the world.
  I find our policy, between Haiti and China, so inconsistent; how we 
can accept a dictatorship in one country and deplore it in another? I 
suggest the President has a responsibility to this body to make his 
policy known, and his motives.
