House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) announced this morning that she’s joining a “bipartisan, bicameral delegation to Haiti today.”
From her statement:
In the spirit of President Obama, we go to demonstrate the ongoing American commitment to the Haitian people – that they will not be forsaken or forgotten. First and foremost, our delegation goes to pay our respects to the Haitian people who are suffering from the tragedy. It is also crucial that the House and Senate – on a bipartisan basis – have the opportunity to examine the ongoing reconstruction efforts ahead of the U.S. Congress considering long-term assistance for Haiti.
The delegation is planning to meet with Haitian President Rene Preval and Prime Minister
Jean-Max Bellerive.
