    PREFERENTIAL TARIFF TREATMENT REGARDING HAITI--MESSAGE FROM THE 
          PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES (H. DOC. NO. 110-20)

  The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following message 
from the President of the United States; which was read and, without 
objection, referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and ordered to 
be printed:

To the Congress of the United States:
  The Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement 
Act of 2006 (Division D, Title V of Public Law 109-432), amends the 
Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (Title II of the Trade and 
Development Act of 2000, Public Law 106-200) (CBERA), to make certain 
products from Haiti eligible for preferential tariff treatment. In 
accordance with section 213A of CBERA, as amended, I have determined 
that Haiti meets the eligibility requirements under section 213A(d)(1) 
of CBERA, as amended, and that Haiti is meeting the conditions 
regarding enforcement of circumvention under section 213A(e)(1) of 
CBERA, as amended.
                                                      George W. Bush.  
The White House, March 19, 2007.
