Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, taken March 29, 2011, shows the congressman at a rubble at a site in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. House Republicans have told the top U.S. foreign aid official that the country's earthquake relief efforts in Haiti have been pathetic. Chaffetz says only 5 percent of the rubble has been removed and 22 percent of the needed transitional shelters have been built. Those figures came from inspector general reports. (AP Photo/Rep.
