Guam Delegate James C. Moylan announced that Guam’s key priorities were secured in the Continuing Resolution signed into law by President Trump, reopening the federal government and restoring vital services to families, workers, and veterans. The measure funds the U.S. government through January 30, 2026, providing retroactive coverage to reimburse Guam for programs maintained during the shutdown. “Simply put, this bill gets us back on track, ensures funding for those who need it is in place, and turns the lights back on,” Moylan said on the House floor.
The legislation delivers historic investments across Guam’s infrastructure, healthcare, and community resilience. It includes $107.5 billion for nutrition programs such as SNAP and WIC, and more than $4 million in targeted community projects — from new emergency equipment for Hagåtña’s Fire Department to a health and wellness center in Tamuning. “These investments strengthen our neighborhoods, protect our families, and ensure Guam’s communities have the tools to thrive,” Moylan said.
Guam also sees significant gains in defense and infrastructure, including $762 million for military construction and $50 million for Defense Access Roads. The measure directs the Department of Defense to assess the impacts of Guam’s enhanced missile defense system and explore transitioning military housing to a public-private model. Moylan emphasized, “These investments are not abstract numbers—they are concrete commitments to Guam’s future.”
Additional provisions expand veteran healthcare access across the Pacific, invest in rural housing and broadband, and bolster agricultural programs. Moylan called the funding package “a forward-looking investment in Guam’s families, our security, and our future,” affirming that Guam remains at the center of America’s commitments. With the government reopened, he said, “Guam stands stronger, safer, and more secure.”
