Puerto Rico faces a difficult set of fiscal and economic challenges -- challenges that did not develop overnight and will not be solved overnight.

The Administration wants Puerto Rico to succeed in its efforts and continues to support Puerto Rico's economic development needs, and will ensure the Commonwealth has access to all available and existing federal resources.
As to the specific request raised in your petition, consistent with the terms we laid.
