This bill is simple and straightforward. The legislation establishes a separate time zone for Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands by increasing the number of standard time zones in the United States from 8 to 9. This new time zone will be known as the Chamorro time zone and will be required to observe daylight savings time. The gentleman from Guam (Mr. Underwood) deserves praise for his tenacity on this issue. It is a simple measure without controversy, and I urge all of my colleagues to support it.
