Revisions were made to this bill based upon the input the subcommittee received at the hearings on Guam and Saipan this summer and from stakeholders in the weeks since those hearings. I want to highlight a few provisions important to Guam. First is the establishment of a unified. regional visa waiver program for both Guam and the CNMI. This program is to be modeled off of the highly successful Guamonly visa waiver program which Congress authorized in 1986. Our islands are marketed together in Asia as a regional destination. and a unified program makes sense from a homeland security and marketing viewpoint. Additionally. the bill allows for sufficient flexibility to expand participation under the program in future years.
