Saying that this was just a Republican bill, that is incorrect.

How do you respond to this, and how does the 2020 Fiscal Plan address this issue?

If I am here in DC willing to work and represent the people of the island, why can't the rest of Congress do that?

I am the one elected to do the job.

What is a shame is that you use this Committee to have informal forums without even inviting the members of this Committee like me and Amata Radewagen when you are discussing territory issues.

Thank you. Ms. Jaresko, I have another question. You say you were expecting $48 billion in disaster aid over the next 15 years.

Some people should resist the temptation to cater to those who would rather use the Island as a political talking point...

we also heard the complaint that the Oversight Board takes too long to review some documents and plans submitted by the government of Puerto Rico.

Why can't Congress do the same thing we are asking for all Americans and all businesses among the nation?

As you are aware, there is a lot of frustration on the island in terms of how long it is going to take for the Federal and local government for a lot of the disbursement of many of those Federal funds.

What actions will the government of Puerto Rico need to pursue to increase this participation in Federal programs?

The other is from Resident Commissioner Gonzalez-Colon, H.R. 6443--Securing the National Supply Chain Act.

the people of the territory have the right to determine its future political status otherwise.

So how can we protect not just the employees of the airlines and the transportation industry but the passengers as well?

I need to say that what Representative Lowenthal was explaining about his experiences while traveling is not different from any of us that have been traveling in the last 3 months.

many of the mayors in Puerto Rico, the municipalities, are still asking when the major projects are going to be approved.

Thank you for always answering my calls, my texts regarding many of the issues regarding Puerto Rico and the two previous disasters.

Thank you for providing me an opportunity to testify on some of Puerto Rico's priorities for Fiscal Year 2021.
