we will do so by promoting trade between the United States and haiti and lifting any restrictions, any barriers so that trade will be able to flow between haiti and the United States, putting people to work. The haitian people have endured immeasurable suffering in recent days but their spirit is indomitable. Haitians came together to observe mass amid the ruins of port-au-prince. Their future may have been tested but it is far from broken. I stand committed, as I'm sure our colleagues throughout this chamber will as will, to working with them. Our fell lee citizens here at home, the international community, not just today but in the weeks and months and even years ahead to ensure that our commitment in helping haiti to recover is meaningful, sustainae, and rises to the great challenge that we face. With that, mr. President, I yield the floor. I note the absence of a quorum. The presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll.
