Mr. MICA. Mr. Speaker, this past weekend, nationalist zealots murdered 68 innocent civilians in Bosnia. The world and many in this Congress expressed outrage.

Tragically, the sanctions imposed on Haiti by this administration are killing innocent Haitian babies. In the 2 days during that same weekend in Bosnia, more than 70 infants died in Haiti , and no one spoke out.

In fact, more than 1,000 Haitian infants now die each month because of the United States' economic sanctions imposed on Haiti . And no one seems to care.

What seems even worse, this week the United States will ask the United Nations to impose even tougher economic sanctions on Haiti.

Despite evidence that the ruling military thugs and criminals are unaffected by these sanctions, we plan to step up our baby-killing policy.

How much more suffering can we impose on the oppressed Haitian people? Haiti is becoming an even greater hell on earth than Bosnia, under our charge and in our backyard.

This week we may not be able to stop the killing in Bosnia, but we can end the infant deaths in Haiti.

I urge my colleagues to join me in sending a letter to President Clinton urging him to end United States sanctions, restore democracy in Haiti , and demand United Nations action now to end this disgrace in the Western Hemisphere.
