RECOGNIZING 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF LIBERATION OF GUAM DURING WORLD WAR II -- (House of Representatives - September 28, 2004)

(BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT)

Mr. RADANOVICH. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Flake).

Mr. FLAKE. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from California for yielding me this time.

I want to thank the gentlewoman from Guam (Ms. Bordallo) for bringing this forward. We had the opportunity earlier this year to go to Guam and visit the beautiful island and stand on the overlook overlooking Asan Beach where over 12,000 Americans died retaking that island. As the gentlewoman from Guam (Ms. Bordallo) said, the people of Guam were extremely loyal during that period of occupation and have been ever since. It is a pleasure to work with her on these issues of importance to people of Guam, and I urge agreement of this resolution.
