US to Withdraw Troops from Haiti
--------------------------------



The US has announced it will withdraw its military relief operation from
Haiti on June 1st. Hundreds of US forces have been inside Haiti since
the January earthquake. Haitian President René Préval, meanwhile,
announced Wednesday the creation of a commission to oversee Haiti’s
reconstruction.

Haitian President René Préval: “With the promise of international help
and the Haitian people, though they are still in tough times, we are
working to create jobs, we are working to build homes, and we are
working for education.”
