One voice that has not been heard from completely in this process are the people most directly
affected by this decision – the people of Vieques itself. That changes right now.
Today, I am announcing a course of action that will resolve the impasse over Vieques. This
course of action will not come from the top-down, but from the bottom-up. Ultimately, it will be
for you to decide for yourselves the course of action to take.
