Statement On The Earthquake In Haiti

Today, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) released the following statement on the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Haitian people as they deal with the aftermath of this devastating natural disaster. I repeat President Obama's message to the Haitian people: "You will not be forsaken. You will not be forgotten.' Our courageous men and women in uniform and countless aid workers have already mobilized to respond to this horrific disaster. The United States, in cooperation with the United Nations and other international aid groups, is committed to assisting the Haitian people as they rebuild their nation. In this hour of need, the American people have stepped forward to donate unprecedented amounts of funds to alleviate the suffering in Haiti.
