  WHEREAS, The sacrifice of the men and women  of  the  government  of

and
 
  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its

  WHEREAS, After the magnitude 7.0 earthquake, it  is  estimated  that
230,000  to  316,000  died,  about 300,000 were injured, and 1.5 million
people were initially displaced as a result of the devastation; and
 
  WHEREAS,  A  cholera  outbreak  struck  Haiti   in   the   wake   of
reconstruction  and  humanitarian  efforts, contributing to thousands of
deaths and  hundreds  of  thousands  of  cholera  cases  throughout  the
country; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  United States has a population of nearly 1 million of
the Haitian diaspora, with approximately 200,000  Haitians  residing  in
the State of New York; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  United  States,  the  international community and the
people of New York work to provide relief, recovery and aid  efforts  to
rebuild after the disaster; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
remember those who lost  their  lives  in  Haiti  in  the  wake  of  the
