        American territory in history to be invaded and overtaken by an enemy;

        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 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 be named ``Arkansas Beach'' in 
commemoration of 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.

            Passed the Senate July 21 (legislative day, June 30), 1993.

            Attest:
