Mr. GRIJALVA, from the Committee on Natural Resources,
submitted the following
REPORT
[To accompany H.R. 1365]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Natural Resources, to whom was referred the
bill (H.R. 1365) to make technical corrections to the Guam World
War II Loyalty Recognition Act, having considered the same, report
favorably thereon without amendment and recommend that the bill
do pass.
PURPOSE OF THE BILL
The purpose of H.R. 1365 is to make technical corrections to the
Guam World War II Loyalty Recognition Act.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
H.R. 1365 makes technical corrections to the Guam World War
II Loyalty Recognition Act, (Title 17, Public Law 114-328) to ad-
dress the insufficiency of the language in the original law that pre-
vents the release of available funds that are being set aside to pay
Guam WWII Survivor Claims.
Congress enacted Public Law 107-333, in 2002, to establish the
Guam War Claims Review Commission to review Guam war claims
and determine whether there was parity of war claims paid to the
residents of Guam under the Guam Meritorious Claims Act as com-
pared with awards made to other similarly affected United States
citizens or nationals in territory occupied by the Imperial Japanese
