We urge you to honor that commitment by abandoning these proposals and to further reject any legislation that would permanently cut off these benefits to veterans.

World Refugee Day is a reminder that behind every displacement statistic is a human story—a family seeking security, a parent seeking a future for their children, or an individual searching for freedom and dignity. Supporting refugees is…
So, the security of that grid, you mentioned cyber, but also just the vulnerability to some kind of attack, is a very important issue. Not only for the people Guam but for our national security.
So that’s a problem not only for the people of Guam, but also for national security because of its strategic importance.
Do the extensive U.S. National security facilities on Guam depend on the local grid, or do they have their own energy sources?
