micronesia is an associated republic of the united states. the marshall islands is an associated republic of the united states. so we know what that means. i would argue for those who support commonwealth that the next natural step of the commonwealth is free association unless they have notice it is statehood or been misled and it is independence. i think the next step is free association. why are those the three options available? because all three options will remove puerto rico from the territorial clause of the constitution of the united states. meaning it will no longer be a territory. and then we can decide what to do. it has been said here that puerto ricans have served in our armed forces. that means a lot to us. it means a lot to be able to say to those veterans who are now in puerto rico that they will have a chance to express themselves. now, many have asked me, joe, if it doesn't do all the things some people claim it does, why do you support this bill? because it begins a process. because it allows people to speak. because we would have hear
