# Letter from Governor of Puerto Rico to the President Dear Mr. President: The interagency memorandum you have issued regarding naval training on Vieques provides a fair and positive basis for resolution of a long-standing issue. Recognizing the actions you have taken in that regard, I will commit that the resources of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico will be used in cooperation with relevant Federal authorities, to ensure continued training on the range within the limits described in your interagency memorandum. Specifically, we will not initiate litigation that would constrain use of the range, and we will support Federal efforts to assure that trespassing or other intrusions on the range cease entirely by providing complementary support required of state and local jurisdictions. Further, I intend to appoint a Commissioner for Vieques to work with the Senior Naval Representative in Puerto Rico in implementing the steps we have agreed upon. Sincerely
