I am pleased to report that Puerto Rico is emerging from a challenging period with strength and optimism into a new era of stability evidenced by the island's economic upswing.
The damage that we have suffered, because of this hurricane, is rain-related, mostly. It's going to - by the time, the tail leaves Puerto Rico, we will have gotten roughly 35 inches of rain. That's a huge amount of rain.
Congress should call for a vote on the political future of Puerto Rico and commit to implementing the will of the majority.
We respectfully ask this Committee and Congress to help us address some additional challenges that we are facing in our ongoing post-disaster reconstruction.
