Congresswoman, the intent was to provide the training materials that the pilots would need to fly the airplane, rather than try to educate them on the system details.

The Federal Government needs to find ways to facilitate, not hinder, the process
It's time to extend to the American citizens of Puerto Rico the equal treatment, rights, and respect they deserve.
The only real and permanent solution to the fiscal problems of Puerto Rico before this Committee today is statehood.
Governments make decisions. I agree with you. When the government of these United States decided to bail out Wall Street, that was a decision.
I think the best thing that we could do for Puerto Rico is get rid of PROMESA.
If the voters get their backsides too close to the fire, they will just have to sit on the blisters a while.
Local administrations have refused to define essential services for purely political reasons, because of the incapacity of politicians to be straightforward with the people.
We applaud that the U.S. Government assumed the responsibility for payment of all expenses of the Board.
The Oversight Board is a distraction and has become a perfect political excuse for the local government.
In complete agreement with your amendment calling for total transparency in relation to contracting consultants, lawyers and accountants by the Board, as Congresswoman Velazquez has been pushing for some time now.
The strongest criticism to PROMESA has been that it did not provide for economic development.
PROMESA is an imperfect solution to the frightening challenge Puerto Rico faced in 2016.
We also agree that there needs to be total transparency in governmental transactions.
We will support any congressional bill that will benefit and contribute for the better quality of life of the U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico.
All documents relating to the public debt of the government of Puerto Rico should be classified as a public document.
We thank you for the opportunity to express our comments regarding the amendments to the PROMESA Act of 2019.
Puerto Rico not only has rejected the territorial status, but favored statehood in most recent plebiscites.
The only reason that there is a pension cut proposed in the plan of adjustment is because of the bankruptcy laws in the United States.
HUD has been sitting on $8 billion in grant agreements since May. How can we complain, and how can the Federal agencies complain that we are not efficiently using the funds, when the money is not even in the island?
How can we receive the funds that have been already appropriated by Congress and by the President?
