At the direction of Speaker RYAN. the Natural Resources Committee will then lead an effort to craft legislation for the territory. The record will demonstrate that there is not a single crisis in Puerto Rico. but a series of intertwined crises. It is an economic crisis. a fiscal crisis. a liquidity crisis. a debt crisis. an immigration crisis. and a public administration crisis. If you visualize Puerto Rico as a tree and each crisis as a withering branch. the root of the tree is Puerto Ricos unequal and undignified political status. While the immediate aim is to mend the branches. ultimately. we will need to attack the problem at its root and that means Puerto Rico must become a State or a sovereign nation.
