## Guardrails

- Do not claim exact dollar totals or exact counts of houses, dams, clinics, roads, schools, or hospitals.
- Do not frame all PRRA work as only imposed from Washington.
- Do not claim PRRA alone caused Operation Bootstrap, industrialization, migration, or status politics.
- Keep this short about aid becoming administration, projects, files, and power.
