    Message to the Congress on Trade With Haiti

    March 19, 2007

    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.
