Limited Authorization for the United States-led Force in Haiti Resolution

Summary

Limited Authorization for the United States-led Force in Haiti Resolution - Authorizes the U.S. armed forces to participate in the U.S.-led forces in Haiti only to protect U.S. citizens, to stabilize the security situation in Haiti so that orderly progress may be made in transferring the functions of government in that country to the democratically-elected Government of Haiti, and to facilitate the provision of humanitarian assistance to the Haitian people. Terminates such authorization on March 1, 1995. Requires that such force remain under the command and control of officers of the U.S. armed forces at all times. Requires the President to report to the Congress on: (1) the participation of U.S. armed forces in the U.S.-led force and the United Nations (UN)-led force in Haiti; and (2) the efforts to withdraw U.S. armed forces from Haiti. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the speaker of the House of Represenatives and the majority leader of the Senate should monitor events in Haiti closely in considering whether to exercise any authority that may be granted to reassemble the Congress after the adjournment of the Congress sine die if the public interest warrants it. Requires the President to remove U.S. armed forces from Haiti if a joint resolution is enacted, pursuant to this Act, whereby the Congress directs the President to remove such forces within 30 days after enactment of such resolution, except for a limited number of members of the armed forces sufficient to protect U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel. Sets forth priority procedures with respect to the introduction and consideration of such resolution.
