Congress Set to Commend Puerto Rico's Preservation of Spanish on July 15th

The House Leadership has scheduled a vote on what they believe is a noncontroversial bill, H.Con.Res. 395, commending the 50th anniversary of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. They must not have read this part of the bill: "Whereas the cultural diversity of the United States has been enriched by the people of Puerto Rico who have preserved and promoted their culture, language, and identity."
