Mr. Ashley L. Totten, President
American Virgin Is. Civic Assn.
New York City
Dear Mr.. Totten:
Many thanks for writing me
about your, opposition, and that of
other Virgin Islands groups here
IN the United States, to S. 513, the
bill | recently introduced to pro-
vide a Resident Commissioner to
represent Puerto Rico and the Vir
gin Islands jointly. l have a high
regard for the people of the Vir-
gin Islands, and I am glad to have
your views about this piece of le-
glslation. In introducing the bill,
! felt was acting in the best in
terests of the Virgin Islands peo-
pie. Of course, if the measure is
Objectionable to the Virgin Islands
| will not press it,, however, I
would like to explain why l feel
the bill would be beneficial to
you.
I have always felt that the Vir-
gin Islands should have some re-
presentation in the Congress, and
If you will recall, last year / in
troduced a bill to give you a Res
ident Commissioner. In spite of
all my efforts, / was unable to
get any support for the measure.
The consensus Of opinion seemed
to be that the population was not
large enough to warrant a Com
missioner, and / became convinc-
ed that the only way that I could
get any representation here for
you was by introduction of a meas
ure such as this this. The pro-
posed bill does not, nor is it intend
ed, to give Puerto Rico any con-
troll whatsoever over the internal
affairs of the Virgin Islands. It
simply affords a method of giving
them a voice here in Congress
through a Resident Commissioner
