a critical aspect of Fiona's recovery is the grid stabilization plan announced this week.

I am disappointed that PREPA and the Energy Bureau are not here today.

Congress should call for a vote on the political future of Puerto Rico and commit to implementing the will of the majority.

We need to have a lot more discussion about that.

There has been a lot of progress in fixing structural issues in our schools.

Last month, I formally requested emergency assistance from FEMA to stabilize our power system by providing additional generation assets and accelerating work on our transmission and distribution grid.

I thank you for favorably reporting H.R. 8393 out of this Committee and urge Congress to approve it.

I am devoting--it is my call--$500 million of CDBG-MIT funding to provide, basically, solar systems with batteries to roughly 25,000 low-income households.

I am not going to support any restructuring that is not sustainable, that is not affordable.

I am not going to allow PREPA to end up with a debt burden that is going to end up causing extraordinary increases, unacceptable increases, in the cost of electricity in Puerto Rico.

Why am I supporting the $5 billion proposal of Chairman Grijalva and others in Congress for more solar systems?

There is an energy transformation law in Puerto Rico, which was approved on a bipartisan basis in 2018.

LUMA is represented at this hearing, so you can ask them directly.

Nobody should expect that I will allow, if I can help it, for a major disruption of our system just because some people didn't like the P3 process.

My constituents hear about all those billions, and they ask a simple question, where are they?

Let's have that solar farm provide the power for the households and businesses in that area.

The people of Puerto Rico voted and chose statehood as their path forward.
