Ft. 5495 may have been just another bill to many members of Congress and to many residents of the 12th Congressional district. But to the 2Vs million Americans living on the island ^of Puerto Rico and to the more than 2,000 residents of the 12th Congressional district of Puerto Rican origin, H. R. 5495 is a most significant measure. Indeed, the first step toward statehood for Puerto Rico is bound up in this bill which creates a commission of thirteen members, three of whom will be appointed by the President of the United States, two each will be appointed from the U. S. Senate and the U. S. House of Representatives, and six will be appointed by the government of Puerto Rico. The thirteen-member Commission is supposed to report on the first day of the next (89th) Congress, recommending a democratic method for determing the future status of the citizens of Puerto Rico. The current unhappy situation allows only token representation in the Congress, by way of a "resident commissioner" who is Without authority to vote, or to introduce legislation on behalf of his constituents. Many Americans fail to realize that Puerto Ricans are fellow citizens, with all the rights and privileges which this entails -- but without the sovereign rights of statehood or representation in the Congress of the United States. We are privileged to have within our district (principally in Lake county) a contingent of these loyal and freedom loving people. They have brought to our community the romance of the Spanish language as well as the music, dancing, colorful costumes, and exotic cuisine with which their Old World ancestry has endowed them. The Puerto Rican resident commissioner, Dr. A. Fernos- Isern, who sits daily -- without voice and without vote -- in the House chamber, was recognized in support of this significant bill when H. R. 5495 was passed overwhelmingly by the House, recently. As we survey the hostile government entrenched in Cuba the recently demonstrated litical instability of the Dominican Republic and other C aribbean, Central and South American nations, it is both timely and appropriate to encourage the opportunity for self-determination on the part of the citizens of Puerto Rico. It is hoped that -- through the work of the Commission -- this "gem of the Caribbean" may bring new strength and solidarity to our owp great Republic as the fifty-first state of the United States of America.
