  • Political Status of Puerto Rico: Options for Congress
    Political Status of Puerto Rico: Options for Congress R. Sam Garrett Specialist in American National Government June 7, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32933 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Political Status of Puerto Rico: Options for Congress Summary The United States acquired the islands of Puerto Rico in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. In 1950, Congress enacted legislation (P.L. 81-600) authorizing Puerto Rico to hold a constitutional convention and in 1952, the people of Puerto Rico ratified a constitution establishing a republican form of government for the island. After being approved by Congress and the President in July 1952 and thus given force under federal law (P.L. 82-447), the new constitution went into effect on July 25, 1952. Puerto Rico is subject to congressional jurisdiction under the Territorial Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Over the past century, Congress passed legislation governing Puerto Rico’s relationship with the United States. For example, residents of Puerto Rico hold U.S. citizenship, serve in the military, are subject to federal laws, and are represented in the House of Representatives by a Resident Commissioner elected to a four-year term. Although residents participate in the presidential nominating process, they do not vote in the general election. Puerto Ricans pay federal tax on income derived from sources in the mainland United States, but they pay no federal tax on income earned in Puerto Rico. The Resident Commissioner may vote in committees but is not permitted to vote in, or preside over, either the Committee of the Whole or th the House in the 112 Congress.

  • San Juan Harbor Mitigation Project, Draft FONSI and EA, 23 May 2014, Puerto Rico
    SAN JUAN HARBOR SUBMERGED AQUATIC VEGETATION MITIGATION PROJECT, SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT f.'Z"f.'' ~.:..:!.!.~ U.S. Army Corps of Engineers May 2014 Jacksonville District This page intentionally left blan EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mitigation is required as a result of widening the Puerto Nuevo Channel in San Juan Harbor, which impacted an estimated 1.2 acres of sea grass (Halophila decipiens) and marine macro- algae. The mitigation originally proposed involved raising the bottom elevation of a portion of San Juan Harbor to support sea grass. This mitigation plan presents (among other concerns) engineering concerns over the confinement of the material used for raising the elevation. Extensive and costly structures would be needed to contain the material and prevent migration of material into the navigation channel. The new mitigation proposal would involve filling of approximately 4 acres (including side slopes) of certain dredged holes in the nearby Condado Lagoon with approximately 46,000 cubic yards of suitable material to a depth of -12 feet to -15 feet resulting in 1.2 acres at an elevation suitable for sea grass. The fill material would come from the recently shoaled areas of the La Esperanza Ecosystem Restoration project located along the western shore of San Juan Bay. An alternative borrow source would be the San Antonio channel in San Juan Harbor. In La Esperanza, one borrow source would be the north-facing opening into San Juan Bay. The east-facing opening could also provide some material if needed. See enclosed maps and drawings for additional details. Both of these areas have experienced substantial shoaling since the completion of the La Esperanza Ecosystem Restoration Project on May 20, 2005.

Puerto Rican Heritage in the Twentieth Century Empire, Statecraft, and Resistance Lara Leigh Kelland Introduction Articulations of heritage are, among other things, rhetorical tools that explain the shape of the past and also plot out particular visions for the future. During “the American Century,” overlapping, intersecting, and conflicting interpretations of the Puerto Rican past have served, at turns, as a justification for US colonialism, as a call to revolutionary arms to overthrow the US government, and as expressions of numerous positions between.1 But always, narratives of the past reflect the positionality of the individuals and the political vision of the groups and agencies shaping it. This article provides a brief overview of the ways in which heritage has operated as a body of ideas and practices on the island in the twentieth century.

  • San Juan Harbor Improvement Study San Juan, Puerto Rico
    DRAFT FISH AND WILDLIFE COORDINATION ACT REPORT For San Juan Harbor Improvement Study San Juan, Puerto Rico U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Caribbean Ecological Services Field Office Draft Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Report, San Juan Harbor Navigation Project Executive Summary The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) evaluated potential natural resource impacts resulting from a proposed deepening and widening of the Federal navigation channels within San Juan Harbor located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The evaluation included habitats within the Federal navigation channel, potential dredged material placement sites, review of the affected areas and mitigation for expected impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and submerged aquatic vegetation, and additional natural resource recommendations. The preliminary results of ecological modeling conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) indicates that the project alternatives outlined in the Review Plan may result in additional impacts to submerged aquatic vegetation and marine habitats and only minor effects on mangrove wetlands, fish, and marine mammals. Threatened and endangered species under the Service jurisdiction occurring in the area include Antillean manatee and possible nesting sea turtles. Endangered species avoidance and minimization measures are included in this Draft Coordination Act Report as indicated in the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). There are various alternatives for the proposed placement of dredged material. These include the creation of un-vegetated flats in Puerto Nuevo, additional restoration in Condado Lagoon, and engineered mangrove wetlands along the Cataño waterfront. The Service has reviewed information provided with the proposed project as well as other sources, and does not object to the beneficial use of dredged material placement and/or proposed dredged material placement sites.

  • Puerto Rican Food Sovereignty As Embodied Decolonial Resistance
    “DESDE ABAJO, COMO SEMILLA”: PUERTO RICAN FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AS EMBODIED DECOLONIAL RESISTANCE by MOMO WILMS-CROWE A THESIS Presented to the Department of Political Science and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts An Abstract of the Thesis of Momo Wilms-Crowe for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Political Science to be taken June 2020 Title: “Desde Abajo, Como Semilla: Puerto Rican Food Sovereignty as Embodied Decolonial Resistance Approved: _______Dan Tichenor, Ph.D______________ Primary Thesis Advisor This thesis explores the power, possibility, and agency embedded in food in the contemporary Puerto Rican context. Building from participatory ethnographic fieldwork with activists, chefs, and farmers engaged in food sovereignty work, I examine the concepts of political agency and subjectivity as they relate to embodied experiences of politics and highlight the generative potential of work occurring in unconventional locations for political participation. This approach is made possible with the understanding that the food we consume directly connects our individual lived experiences to broader structures of power in intimate and material ways. Through food, I offer a grounded critique of US colonial violence, inherently linked to ecological destruction, cisheteropatriarchy, and disaster capitalism. I also document dynamics of radical prefigurative politics as visible in people’s generative reimagining of relationships with their bodies, each other, and the land. This analysis is supported theoretically by Indigenous, anarchist, and queer/feminist perspectives which similarly connect the personal to the political and offer examples of political action that extend beyond state-centric formal politics.
