WASHINGTON – Congressman Connie Mack (FL-14), the Ranking Republican of the House Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere, issued the following statement this morning on the devastating 8.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Chile early this morning.

Mack said:

“My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Chile today following this devastating disaster. As countries across the hemisphere monitor the possibility of a tsunami, we hope and pray that there is no further destruction or loss of life.
