I respectfully urge the Committee, as part of comprehensive tax reform, to provide for the equal treatment of Puerto Rico under the refundable Child Tax Credit program and to extend to Puerto Rico the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit program.
Urging equal treatment for Puerto Rico in tax credits and federal programs.

For about 3 years, the spending that happened in Puerto Rico was emergency spending by FEMA.
It should not be surprising that 105 years after becoming U.S. citizens by birth, Puerto Ricans want to vote for President and to have voting representation in Congress.
FEMA has agreed to come in and assist us in increasing our power generation for a period of time which could range between 1 year and 1½ years.
I am confident that we could reach that goal by 2025, because there are a lot of projects in the pipeline.
