on the contrary, the board, we should trust the board, federally appointed board, to do the right thing. if you get to the legalities of this, the supreme court of puerto rico has held that once your pension is vested, you have a property right in it. you have a contractual right. and so, pension holders will be treated accordingly. that doesn't mean they're totally out of the equation. but we should make -- we should allow the board to review the pension systems in puerto rico, study them. they're seriously underfunded. and as the bill provides ensuring that the fiscal plan and the budgets of the government of puerto rico provide the pension systems adequate funding so that systems can honor their obligations. throwing 330,000 american citizens in puerto rico under the bus cannot be a solution. obviously there's a crisis. we're suffering through it. including the retirees. but we shouldn't be -- we shouldn't view this bill as picking winners and losers and we shouldn't be harming or intentionally harming pensioners in puerto rico. i oppose the amendment. >> let me just respond, as well
