VIDEO REMARKS TO THE
PEOPLE OF PUERTO RICO
CONCERNING NAVY TRAINING ON VIEQUES
NOVEMBER 29, 1999
Last April
My fellow citizens: Six months ago, there was a tragic accident at the Navy range on
Vieques. I was greatly saddened by the loss to the family of David Sanes (SAN-ness), and
the suffering of the others injured that day. We remembered them in our prayers on
Thanksgiving.
