Notes:
24 p., In December 2006, the 109th Congress passed the Haitian Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement Act of 2006 (HOPE I), which included special trade rules that give preferential access to US imports of Haitian apparel. With disappointing results, the 110th Congress responded by amending HOPE I with the Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement Act of 2008 (HOPE II). After the devastating 2010 earthquake, the US Congress addressed the apparel industry's needs by amending the HOPE Act with the Haiti Economic Lift Program (HELP) Act of 2010, which improves US market access for Haitian apparel exports.
