I want to thank, commend Resident Commissioner Pierluisi for his leadership in introducing this bill, thus bringing his 4 million strong constituency of disenfranchised American citizens one step closer to true self-determination.
Fortuno acknowledges Pierluisi's efforts for Puerto Rico's self-determination.

Those of us in Puerto Rico who respect ourselves and believe in democracy and self-determination repudiate this hoax that perpetuates colonialism.
the voters must understand that what Commonwealth means, as the author of that amendment states to Pedro Pierluisi and I, is the present status quo, which is a territorial status.
I hope this Committee, like the House before it, will show respect for the people of Puerto Rico by leveling with them about their real choices.
