This resolution is a nonbinding statement by the House recognizing the 25th anniversary of the Guam-Philippines partnership and expressing appreciation and support for their cooperation. It does not create legal rights, change U.S. law, or provide funding. It formally records the House's views and encouragement for the State Partnership Program and related defense cooperation.
This is a House simple resolution acted on by the House of Representatives alone; it does not require Senate approval or the President's signature and has no force of law.
This House resolution honors the 25th anniversary of the State Partnership Program between the Guam National Guard and the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
It enumerates past joint activities (training, disaster response, infrastructure work), praises the partnership’s role in regional security and deterrence, and expresses continued support for the program and possible similar partnerships with other U.S. states and territories.
The resolution is symbolic and contains no appropriation or new authorities.
House simple resolutions are non‑binding expressions of the chamber and do not become law; content would face no legal obstacles but cannot become statute.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a standard commemorative House resolution: it provides clear purpose and supporting facts, and its limited provisions (recognitions, expressions of support, and commendations) are appropriate in scope and detail for a symbolic instrument.
