OBAMA Senators send letter inviting Obama to buildup conference
Two local senators have sent a second letter to President Obama, urging him to visit Guam.
According to a press release, Sens. Judith Guthertz and Rory Respicio sent a letter over the weekend asking Obama to attend a conference on the coming military buildup.
The two-day conference — “Island Conference on the Guam Military Buildup: the Guam Perspective” — starts on November 19, the letter states. The previously invited Obama in July.
“… Guam is so much more than just a set of military bases and tourist
hotels,” the letter states. “It would be a tremendous honor for us if you could make room in your very crowded schedule to visit our tiny island; and it would be our great privilege to show you the real Guam.”
Respicio said in a press release that it would be most likely that Obama would visit Guam during a trip to Asia. Obama plans to attend an economic summit in Singapore days before the conference in Guam, the letter states.
Obama, the 44th president of the United States, took office in January.
Although residents of Guam cannot vote for president, a local straw poll held on Election Day overwhelmingly supported Obama. PACIFIC DAILY NEWS • NEWS@GUAMPDN.COM
