                  TRIBUTE TO LATE GOVERNOR BILL DANIEL

  (Ms. BORDALLO asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the late 
Bill Daniel, a former Governor of Guam, who passed away on Tuesday at 
his home in Liberty, Texas.
  Governor Daniel was a close family friend whose legacy has left an 
indelible imprint on the people of Guam. He served as Guam's Governor 
from 1961 to 1963 and was appointed to the post by President John F. 
Kennedy. He resigned to allow Manuel Guerrero, his friend and protege, 
to succeed him as Governor.

  Governor Daniel was a gifted and hands-on leader who adopted Guam as 
his second home. During his tenure, the Navy security clearance 
requirement for persons traveling to and from Guam was lifted. The 
University of Guam was elevated to a 4-year institution. Our visitor 
industry took root, and our agricultural program was upgraded.
  Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughters Ann, Susan, and Dani, 
and the entire Daniel family.
