Since 1952 the island of Puerto Rico has functioned as a self-governing territory of the United States pursuant to a Commonwealth Constitution authorized by the US Congress... NPRC's mission is to systematically strengthen and enhance the social, political, and economic well-being of Puerto Ricans throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico with a special focus on the most vulnerable." - From bateylink.org - http://www.bateylink.org/community.htm
