Paul Calvo. the latter two Republicans and the first a Democrat. is a large contingent from Guam numbering over 40 people. and I will enter their names into the RECORD. These people reflect a good crosssection of the people of Guam. They reflect the energy and the concern and the determination of the people of Guam to reach the next level of their political development. and this next level of their political development is embodied in H.R. 100. which provides for a new expanded relationship with the Federal Government based on the principles of mutual consent and the establishment of a joint commission. provides for local control of immigration. and allows Guam to have fuller control over its own economic activities. We hope that the administration tomorrow in their testimony. and I recognize that there are many problems. we have been in negotiation now for 4 to 5 years. that are still remaining on this issue. but we are hoping that the administration comes across tomorrow with a position that does not close the door to further discussion. I know the Committee on Resources. which is the only committee to have the flags of the territories flying in its committee room. will take seriously its responsibility to deal with insular areas in a creative and fairminded way.
