That representative can. should and will. if this bill is enacted. be here as an elected representative with limited powers representing each of the territories. It matters little to me what you would call him. whether you call him a resident commissioner. a delegate. or any other name. as long as they are here in an official capacity. But that representative will be charged with the responsibility of representing the desires. aspirations. and the hopes of his constituents in a broad range of legislative proposals. proposals ranging from social welfare to housing. agriculture assistance. aid for highways and airports. import quotas. veterans benefits. immigration laws. and voting rights. By the way. since I mentioned the veterans benefits. it is interesting to note that from both territories percentagewise. both of them have turned out tremendous portions of their population to participate in the armed services of their country. your country. and mine. Presently. only one of the committees of Congress has the responsibility of looking after the specific needs of people and the governments of these territories.
