“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6955, the Main Street Capital Access Act. When the people of Guam set out to enterprise new business ventures, we turn to our community banks to raise capital. However, much of America's financial system is not designed with small businesses in mind.”

“Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9086, the Foreign Service Modernization Act. With Guam's location in the Pacific, engaging with our allies is essential to ensuring not only Guam's security but the Nation's, as well. This bill ensures that our diplomats are fully qualified and equipped with the ability to effectively liaise and coordinate with our allies across the Indo-Pacific. Further, this bill requires the Department to establish a program to recruit qualified veterans and separating military personnel into the Foreign Service. As a veteran myself, I fully support and recognize the importance of recruiting our veterans to serve in the ranks of the Foreign Service. Veterans come with unique skills and backgrounds that are vital to supporting U.S. interests.”

“Mr. Chairman, I rise today in strong support of the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. Guam is on the front line of America's national security in the Pacific. This bill delivers nearly $1.9 billion in vital defense investments on the island while ensuring the people of Guam remain a priority. This legislation secures an extension to the H-2B workforce provision through 2035 to guarantee long-term stability for our local economy. It sets a target for military commissaries to source at least 15 percent of produce from local farmers, expanded workforce credentialing for our students, and protected local land by removing a proposed military acquisition of over 100 acres. Guam has carried a tremendous share of our Nation's defense responsibilities for generations.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6955, the Main Street Capital Access Act. When the people of Guam set out to enterprise new business ventures, we turn to our community banks to raise capital. However, much of America's financial system is not designed with small businesses in mind. While big banks have the resources to cut through red tape, small community ventures often struggle to comply with a regulatory regime that never had them in mind. The Main Street Capital Access Act makes commonsense reform, tailoring regulations so small lenders can comply, while opening more resources to the new banks, small banks, and rural banks which serve communities like Guam. This bill will give the Guam business community a fair chance, and I thank the Financial Services Committee for their work on this legislation. {time} 1530”

Madam Speaker, this bill fails the test of basic respect, and I urge my colleagues reject this double standard and join me in denouncing this bill. ____________________”

“It says that while the States' borders are structurally protected from Washington legislative whims, the legal fabric of our island cannot be experimented on by Federal mandates. Our citizenship was not handed to us by casual gift or a line item to be tinkered with. It was forged in the fires of World War II, through the brutality of an enemy occupation where our people suffered, yet never once wavered in their alliance to the United States. We have repaid that honor by serving the United States Armed Forces where our sons and daughters serve at a rate higher than nearly any jurisdiction in the Nation. To tell a population that bears a great weight of defending this Republic that Congress can selectively alter birthright citizenship on their soil is a profound sign of disrespect.”

May God continue to watch over our beloved island of Guam and grant us the lasting peace for generations to come. denouncing ending birthright citizenship for territories Mr. MOYLAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to strongly denounce the End Birthright Citizenship for the Territories Act. The author of this bill is quick to offer assurances that the bill explicitly carves out protection for the children born to U.S. citizens and permanent residents on Guam who will fully retain their American citizenship.”

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the liberation of Guam. On July 21, 1944, American forces returned to Guam and liberated our island after nearly 3 years of Japanese occupation. For the CHamoru people and all who called Guam home, liberation marked the end of a period defined by fear and suffering. Today, I recognize the special courage of Guam's Greatest Generation.”

“They are forced to cover the expensive shipping fee, a cost that should not be borne by those who have already sacrificed so much for our country. Whether it is for medical appointments, running errands, or simply visiting family and friends, adaptive vehicles are a lifeline for veterans in Guam. H.R. 877 will provide much-needed relief to our veterans, ensuring that they can access the support and services they rightfully deserve without facing financial hardships. Let us stand together in solidarity with our veterans in Guam and all areas around the world and ensure that they receive the support they need and deserve. Mr. Speaker, I implore each and every one of my esteemed colleagues to join me in supporting H.R. 877, the Deliver for Veterans Act.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of my bill, H.R. 877, the Deliver for Veterans Act, a critical piece of legislation addressing challenges faced by veterans in remote areas, including Guam. As the Representative of a region where the unavailability of adaptive vehicles poses a significant barrier to our veterans, I urge my colleagues to support this essential measure. Veterans in remote districts across our Nation face immense challenges because of the lack of access to adaptive vehicles. These vehicles are essential for veterans with disabilities to lead independent and fulfilling lives. Unfortunately, the high cost of shipping to remote areas has created an insurmountable obstacle for many of our veterans.”
