STATEMENT BY PRESS SECRETARY EDWARD SKYLER ON MAYOR MICHAEL R.
BLOOMBERG’S TRIP TO HAITI

In light of recent conflict in Haiti as well as the recommendations
from the State Department, specifically the US Embassy in
Port-au-Prince, the Mayor has decided to postpone his trip to the
country, which had been planned for this Sunday. He still plans to
visit the nation during its 200th birthday celebration and will host a
reception in honor of the country’s bicentennial at Gracie Mansion next
week. The Mayor will travel to Jamaica, as planned, and return to New
York City Sunday evening
