A bill that would provide
language needed for the release of reparations checks to Guam's World War II
survivors could be introduced in the next few days.
“We’re going to be scrubbing
this, making sure it’s going to meet the need ... to move forward the
legislative process,” Del. Michael San Nicolas said during his first Facebook
live update Wednesday morning Guam time.
San Nicolas said his office
will review the language provided by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and
try to introduce legislation “by the end of the week.”
San Nicolas said he’ll work
with fellow lawmakers on the Appropriations Committee, and Financial Services
Committee, which has oversight on the Treasury. Language was left out of the
World War II Loyalty Recognition Act preventing the Treasury from writing and
issuing checks to claimants whose claims already have been adjudicated and
certified for payment.
