Congress approves referendum on Puerto Rico future (AP)

http://d.yimg.com/a/p/ap/20100429/ca...nGvnCu.Pz2LQ--AP - The House on Thursday approved legislation that could set in motion changes in Puerto Rico's 112-year relationship with the United States, including a transition to statehood or independence. The House bill would give the 4 million residents of the island commonwealth a two-step path to expressing how they envision their political future. It passed 223-169 and now must be considered by the Senate.
