WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A presidential task force said in a report on Thursday that the people of Puerto Rico should decide in a series of votes whether the island should become the 51st U.S. state or an independent nation.

The task force urged the U.S. Congress within a year to set a date for a plebiscite in which the people of Puerto Rico would be asked whether they want to change the Caribbean island's commonwealth status.
If they choose to change the island's status, Congress should set another vote on statehood or independence, the task force said.
