Concurrent resolution relative to giving serious consideration to the political status preference of the people of Guam and to recognize the contribution of their elected representatives towards the principle of government by the consent of the governed.

Summary

Makes it the sense of the Congress that: (1) there is a need for a greater degree of self-government for the people of Guam, and it is now appropriate and timely for the people of Guam to be afforded the opportunity to freely express their political status preference, not inconsistent with the provisions of the United States Constitution; (2) the work of the Guam Legislature and the Governor of Guam relative to Federal-territorial relations legislation be recognized as a contribution toward the principle of government by the consent of the governed; and (3) Congress will give serious consideration to the recommendations of a duly constituted Guam Constitutional Convention, to be ratified by popular vote. Provides that nothing in this concurrent resolution shall be construed as a commitment by the Congress to inaugurate any movement toward statehood for Guam.
