This book provides a comprehensive account of the hearings held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1996, to discuss a bill proposing a process to offer full self-governance to Puerto Rico. The bill, led by Chairman Don Young, outlined a three-stage process involving an initial decision, a transition period, and an implementation act over a time frame of 10 years, culminating in year 2010. Several key members of the US Congress and Puerto Rican officials provided statements and testimonies, representing varying political affiliations and perspectives. These included Resident Commissioner Carlos Romero-Barcelà , Dan Burton, Neil Abercrombie, and Toby Roth. The testimonies and discussions centered around the options of separate sovereignty leading to independence or free association, or statehood under US sovereignty.
