Senators Baucus, Grassley Praise New Law to Spur Haiti’s Earthquake Recovery

Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—May 25, 2010. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today praised the President’s signing of a law to boost recovery efforts in Haiti, following January’s devastating earthquake.  Baucus and Grassley introduced the Haiti Economic Lift Program (HELP) Act, which became law yesterday, with leaders from the House Ways and Means Committee in April of this year.  The law will expand duty-free access to the U.S. market for Haitian textile and apparel exports and extend existing trade preference programs for Haiti through 2020.
