"We continue to regard it as the fundamental principle in deciding Puerto Rico's future."

"Whatever decision the people of Puerto Rico may wish to take—statehood, independence, Commonwealth status, or mutually agreed modifications in that status—it will be yours."

"I am deeply disturbed by the allegations of wrongdoing within the General Services Administration."

"I support and commend the steps you have taken so far to bring this matter to light and to bring those responsible to justice."
