Abstract

The undersigned, Delegate of the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico in the United States of America, has taken note that under item 34 (b) of the provisional agenda of the Eight Session of the United Nations General Assembly, tbe item of Puerto Rico is listed for discussion by this international body. The item under consideration refers to the note by the United States of America informing tbe Secretary-General and this Fourth Commission of the decision of its Government to cease rendering information about the social, educational and economic conditions in Puerto Rico, pursuant to Article 73 e of the United Nations Charter. The decision of tbe United States Government to cease rendering further annual reports on tbe Non-Self-Governing Territory of Puerto Rico is based on the assumption that Puerto Rico has reached a "full measure of self- government" after the approval and implementation of the so-called "Commonwealth of Puerto Rico"...
