Thank you, my dear friend, for yielding the time, for visiting the island, and being always available for the issues regarding Puerto Rico.

The main issue for our problems, financial problems, is the status. And that is the root of the problem.

many of those funds, the funding is not being used because of the hurdles and the red tape of many Federal agencies to use on the island.

This Committee did not pass H.R. 1522. We passed H.R. 8393. That was a consensus bill that had many hearings through the years.
