THE SECRETARY OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE
<<< of ,
WASHINGTON, D. C. 20201
U.S.A.
NOV 4 1975
MEMORANDUM FOR THE HONORABLE JAMES E. CONNOR
SUBJECT: Report of the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on
Puerto Rico: Response to your memorandum
of October 23
The Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Puerto Rico has proposed
for consideration of the President of the United States
and the Governor of Puerto Rico a Compact of Permanent
Union Between Puerto Rico and the United States that,
if adopted, would substantially alter the relationship
between the two governments. Several provisions of the
Compact may be expected to bear directly on the manner
in which Puerto Rico participates in programs that our
Department administers.
For present purposes, we would respectfully invite the
President's attention to sections 6 and 11. The Advisory
Committee explains section 6 as founded on a belief,
"that United States citizens, notwithstanding their place
of residence within the jurisdiction of the Federal
Government, should participate equally in the benefits
provided by laws of the United States relating to social
and economic aid, such as loans and other assistance for
the benefit of health, education, housing, opportunities
for employment and social welfare. A number of the
Department's major programs, such as welfare assistance
to the adult categories under the Social Security Act,
support programs in Puerto Rico on terms quite different
from those that apply within the fifty States and the
District of Columbia.
