Why does Congress need to act? Because there is a patently obvious need for the territory's real options to be clarified.

The Congress of the United States retains plenary powers over everything in Puerto Rico, not just the status of Puerto Rico.
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.
