On the recordJuly 13, 1995
I rise to support Mr. Underwood's amendment to provide Guam with immigration impact assistance. This amendment would provide $4.58 million to assist Guam in meeting the demands of new immigrants to have settled in Guam. I understand the amendment is within the budgetary caps, and seeks to carry out a program authorized by Public Law 99-239 the act which set forth the Compact of Free Association between the United States and the Federated States of Micronesia and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Given our recognition of these States formally in 1986, it makes sense for them to take part in determining the priorities for federally funded programs. Accordingly, I urge support for Mr. Underwood's amendment.
