IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
MARCH 6, 1996
Mr. GUTIERREZ (for himself, Ms. VELA´ZQUEZ, and Mr. SERRANO) introduced
the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on National Security
A BILL
To exclude voyages to or from Puerto Rico from laws
applicable to coastwise trade.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Puerto Rico Fair
Trade Act of 1996’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) On October 30, 1995, the House of Rep-
resentatives and Senate of the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico unanimously adopted a concurrent reso-
lution urging the United States Congress to exclude
Puerto Rico from the coastwise trade laws of the
United States.
(2) Although Puerto Rico benefits from some
Federal programs, Puerto Rico is partially or totally
excluded from the benefits of other Federal pro-
grams.
(3) The economy of Puerto Rico suffers from
high levels of unemployment and low rates of labor
force participation and has an average per-capita in-
come level that is one-third of the level in the United
States.
(4) Without voting representation in the United
States Congress, Puerto Rico was never consulted
about and did not approve of the inclusion of Puerto
Rico under the coastwise trade laws of the United
States.
(5) It has been estimated that the inclusion of
Puerto Rico under such coastwise trade laws costs
the consumers and the economy of Puerto Rico be-
tween $100,000,000 and $500,000,000 per year.
SEC. 3. EXCLUSION OF PUERTO RICO FROM COASTWISE
TRADE LAWS.

‘‘(C) The President may also direct the Sec-
retary of Transportation to take such steps as may
be necessary to suspend the authority of any air car-
rier to engage in foreign air transportation between
the United States and that country.
‘‘(2) TERMINATION
OF
AIR
SERVICE
AGREE-
MENT.—(A) The President may direct the Secretary
of State to terminate any air service agreement be-
tween the United States and a country against
