President cautions on Porto Rico powers and funding
In a special message the president warns Congress that the United States has moved too quickly in extending political power to Porto Ricans and urges withdrawing the absolute power of appropriation from those deemed too irresponsible. With no quorum in the House to take action, debate ensued over proper committee referral for the message as Senate moves it to Porto Rico committee. The message stresses a gravity of the situation as Porto Rico faces a funding gap after June 30 and reviews the Foraker act while proposing safeguards to prevent misuse of appropriation authority.
