  Designating the beach at 53 degrees 53,51"N, 166 degrees 34,15"W to 53

  an enemy;
Whereas, during World War II, an Arkansas National Guard Regiment, the 
  206th Coast Artillery, served diligently and bravely on Hog Island, 
  Unalaska;
Whereas the 206th Coast Artillery Regiment of Arkansas was guarding 
  Dutch Harbor during the time of the Japanese attack;
Whereas, during the Japanese invasion of Dutch Harbor, three young 
  soldiers of the 206th Coast Artillery Unit were killed;
Whereas the city of Unalaska, Alaska has passed Res. 92-28, designating 
  the beach at 53 degrees 53,51"N, 166 degrees 34,15"W to 53 degrees 
  53,48"N, 166 degrees 34,21"W on Hog Island, Unalaska as ``Arkansas 
  Beach''; and
Whereas the State of Alaska has passed Sen. Con. Res. 37, as sent to the 
  State Geographic Board, which names this beach ``Arkansas Beach'': 
  Now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the beach at 53 degrees 
53,51"N, 166 degrees 34,15"W to 53 degrees 53,48"N, 166 degrees 34,21"W

the 206th Coast Artillery Regiment and the men who served and died 
during the air attacks on Dutch Harbor, Unalaska on June 3 and 4, 1942.
