                           HAITIAN EARTHQUAKE

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remind us that 
it has been 4 years since a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated Haiti, 
killing more than 300,000 people and displacing more than 2 million 
Haitians.
  Today, according to the International Organization for Migration, 
350,000 people remain in impoverished conditions, squalid tent cities 
litter the countryside, and the nation deals with an ongoing food 
crisis as it fights a cholera outbreak.
  As we reflect on this ongoing tragedy and empathize with the 
continuing suffering of the people of Haiti, let's reinvigorate our 
resolute commitment to Haiti's full recovery and its future 
development.
