Yesterday was a historic day not just because President Obama commemorated President John F. Kennedy’s visit to Puerto Rico 50 years ago, but because of the historic engagement this Administration has carried out with Puerto Rico. The visit wasn’t just a stop on the President's itinerary but rather an opportunity to highlight the federal government’s comprehensive approach to addressing critical issues that matter to the people of Puerto Rico including status, economic development, job creation, education, health care and making Puerto Rico a model of clean energy.
