Oct 8th Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 164.
Oct 8th Reported (Amended) by the Committee on Natural Resources. H. Rept. 111-294.
So. HR2499 has made it as far as as HR 900, the previous attempt at getting the status question for Puerto Rico settled. However, once the previous bill was placed on the calendar, Pelosi et al quashed it. Will this one make it further? This one has almost 50% more cosponsors (127 to the 181 of this bill (and growing)).
One can be hopeful at least that it will get further, but I won't hold my breath. I WOULD be delighted if PR was the 51st state by the time the 2012 elections happened though.
