 Contact: U.S. Department of Justice, Public Affairs, 202-514-2007

   WASHINGTON, April 1  -- The following statement was
released today by the U.S. Department of Justice:

   The government will not seek a stay of the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of New York's Interim Order in Haitian
Centers Council Inc. vs. Chris Sale, Acting Commissioner, Immigration
and Naturalization Service.  The government will comply with the
order regarding a limited number of the Haitians who have tested
positive with the HIV virus currently on Guantanamo.
   There are two classes of Haitians who are covered by the order --
those with T-cell counts below 200 and those whose T-cell percentage
is 13 or below.
   Under the terms of the order, 36 Haitians will be brought to the
United States as soon as appropriate arrangements can be made.
   The government is activating a Resettlement Task Force consisting
of the Community Relations Service, Immigration and Naturalization
Service, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of
Defense, the Public Health Services and other appropriate agencies to
implement the court's decision.
   This action is taken to comply with the court's order and does not
represent a change in general policy.
