Leon Guerrero served the people of Guam honorably in both the Guam Congress and First Guam Legislature. After serving in both in the Guam Congress and the Guam Legislature, he also served in other capacities such as: Administrative Assistant for the Department of Finance, Assistant Director of Commerce, Director of Commerce, Chief of Customs and Director of the Commercial Port. His leadership and dedication to serving the people of Guam also extended into his involvement in numerous civic and community based organizations. It is therefore the intent of I Liheslaturan Guiihan to commemorate and honor the memory and contributions of the late Jose D. Leon Guerrero by renaming the Port Authority of Guam to the "Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port." Section 2. Section 834 is hereby added to Chapter 8, Article 1 of Title 1 of the Guam Code Annotated to read as follows: "Section 834. Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port. The Port Authority of Guam, located at Apra Harbor, shall hereafter be known as the "Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port." Any provisions in the laws of Guam referring to the Port Authority of Guam are hereby deemed to read the "Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port." I Maga'lahen Guiihan, and the General Manager of the Port Authority of Guam shall cause to be erected appropriate nameplates or signs designating the Port Authority of Guam as the "Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port." Furthermore, at such ceremony as I Maga'lahen Guiihan and the General Manager of the Port Authority of Guam deem appropriate, the "Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port" shall be officially named and a plaque bearing the name, picture and brief history of the contributions made by the late Jose D. Leon Guerrero shall be affixed within a suitable spot at, in or around the port authority building.

    The Federal Minimum Wage and American Samoa

    The Federal Minimum Wage and American Samoa (name redacted) April 8, 2008 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RL34013 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress The Federal Minimum Wage and American Samoa Summary In 1938, when the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) was adopted, Congress appears to have given little consideration as to how its provisions might affect the various possessions and territories of the United States. The first off-shore jurisdiction to request exception from the FLSA was Puerto Rico, which, in 1940, along with the Virgin Islands, was given an exception under the act. Special industry committees were appointed to visit the Caribbean islands and to recommend minimum wage rates consistent with the insular economies. In the wake of World War II, new attention was focused upon the Pacific islands. American Samoa, basically, had no industry other than harvesting of copra, the dried meat of the coconut, and an economy very different from the mainland. In the early 1950s, the Department of the Interior contracted with the Van Camp Sea Food Company to move onto the island and develop a fish processing plant. However, the FLSA minimum wage was regarded as too high to be competitive and, in 1956, Van Camp appealed to Congress to extend the Puerto Rican special industry committee (SIC) model to American Samoa. Thereafter, the Secretary of Labor would review economic conditions and establish minimum rates. The SICs were admonished to reach “as rapidly as is economically feasible without substantially curtailing employment” the American standard under the FLSA.

Because the Guam Environmental Protection Agency (GEPA) does not have primary regulatory responsibility for administering the NPDES permitting program, EPA Region 9 has primary regulatory responsibility for the discharge. EPA Region 9 is proposing to issue an NPDES permit incorporating both federal secondary treatment standards and GEPA water quality requirements. The permittee is currently discharging to the Apra Harbor under the NPDES permit No. GU0020346, which became effective on January 1, 2012, and expired on December 31, 2016. Pursuant to 40 CFR 122.21, the terms of the existing permit are administratively extended until the issuance of a new permit. II.

    Historical Review: "Justicia Para Todo" Judiciary History

    Judiciary History - Historical Review: "Justicia para todo" War, diplomacy, social or economic pressure have been used throughout history to resolve disputes. They have literally shaped the world. Today’s court systems are a product of man’s desire to settle disputes in a more peaceful, equitable and socially acceptable manner. Method of justice continues to evolve in our land with every case or motion brought before the courts. Today’s Superior Court of Guam serves as a forum to resolve disputes locally. And though the system itself is not a product of Guam, the questions and conclusions most certainly are. This booklet is not so much a history of the courts as it is a story of the people of the island and type of justice that has prevailed on our shores. As we celebrate the opening of the new Guam Judicial Center, it is only fitting that we remember those who contributed to the growth of Guam’s courts system. Throughout the past century, the dedicated men and women who served the courts helped ensure that justice continued to prevail on our shores. It is to these fine people of yester year and those who will serve our courts in the future that this booklet is dedicated to. Thank you and Si Yuus Maase. Judiciary History - Justice on Guam: "The Chamorros" "Yanggen numa'piniti hao taotao, nangga ma na piniti-mu Mase ha apmaman na tiempo, un apasi sa' dibi-mu."
