                        HON. ROBERT A. UNDERWOOD

                                of guam

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 4, 1995
  Mr. UNDERWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to commend and congratulate 
the National Park Service for spearheading the production of a laser-
disc video entitled ``Liberating Guam: The U.S. Comes Back'' in 
commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the liberation of Guam. 
Nominated to the 28th annual WorldFest--Houston International Film and 
Video Festival last June, it was a finalist winner for the category of 
Best Documentary of 1994.
  A special commendation is also in order for this project's 
supervising producer/director, Karine Erlebach. In addition to 
international acclaim, her talent and professionalism, has earned her a 
special place in the hearts of the people of Guam. By resenting the war 
through the perspective of the Chamorro people, she has focused upon an 
aspect of the war that has been largely neglected.
  On behalf of the people of Guam, I congratulate everyone who gave a 
hand in the production of this award-winning documentary. The 
educational benefits that this documentary has to offer will surely be 
appreciated by all those who view it both on island and abroad. I offer 
my sincerest thanks for making all this possible.
