(Editorial Note: In the previous edition Vol. XXII No. 39, dated Oct. 1, 1999, La Prensa San Diego began an informative dialogue on Puerto Rico its' history, from the Spanish conquest to the American assumption of Puerto Rico as a result of the war between Spain and the United States. The heart of the narrative was the problematic nature of the desire of Puerto Rico to move the agenda forward on its status after over a 100 years of being a territory then a commonwealth of the United States. The details of past efforts and their failures are enumerated as well as a limited number of interviews from Puerto Ricans on their preferences on the final nature of their homeland, Puerto Rico. We continue with our dialogue.)

La Prensa San Diego
San
Diego, Calif. Oct. 8, 1999... After the 1998 Plebiscite and
subsequent results elements of the government, the intelligencia,
the business community among others began to take an assertive
role in the process of moving the concept of self-determination
through public educational efforts and a professional effort in
lobbying U.S. Congress and the American people. One of these efforts
was the lobbying effort by
"The Puerto Rico Self-Determination Process: Towards Resolving
The Political Status Dilemma," whose President Herbert W.
Brown III, an Admiralty Lawyer presented some of their positions
in a meeting with Editor/Publisher of La Prensa.
