on Haitian Refugees. Mr. Hooper and Ms. Pillors met with Haitian lawyers, human rights advocates and several former political prisoners, including
Sylvio Claude, who was detained under house arrest. They also met with representatives of the United States Embassy and other foreign diplomatic personnel
in Haiti. Requests for meetings with Haitian officials, including the Haitian Secretary of the Interior, Roger Lafontant, and the Minister of Foreign
