Haiti's government agreed on Friday to grant temporary control of the nation's main airport to the United States to speed earthquake relief work, the State Department said.
"Prime Minister (Jean-Max) Bellerive signed a memorandum of understanding granting airport control to the United States," State Department spokesman PJ Crowley told a briefing.
"Obviously we will assume this responsibility as long as its appropriate and to the point where the Haitian government is able and ready to resume that capability."
