AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Gov. Rick Perry implored a roomful of
doctors to lend their skills to earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
Perry made the "special request" after giving a speech to the
Texas Medical Association on Saturday.
He asked doctors "who are willing, able or know people who are
willing and able, to lend your skills to the people in truly
desperate need right now."
The governor said Haiti has a particular need for medical
professionals who "are really good at French Creole translation."
