AI summary (separate from source): Official floor remarks document that Hernández investigated and publicly laid out the contract controversy in Congress, while calling for accountability and further questions.

Hernández's official House press-release index says that on September 3, 2026 he and four senior congressional committee members sent a request for information to the Government of Puerto Rico about the $5.9 billion temporary generation contract.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This official statement shows Hernández followed the floor speech with a formal congressional information request, an oversight response directly matching the commitment. The matter remained pending as of September 6, 2026 because the request sought answers rather than recording completed findings.

Hernandez took direct federal oversight action in the same term by raising the $5.9 billion Puerto Rico temporary energy generation contract on the House floor and joining senior committee members in a formal congressional request for information to Puerto Rico officials. That materially matches the promise to investigate and pursue an oversight response, but the record provided shows inquiry and pressure rather than a completed investigation, findings, hearings, subpoena, remedy, or final congressional response by September 6, 2026.
