Guam - A public hearing is scheduled for three o'clock this afternoon on Bill 331. The legislation proposes to change the official name of Guam to its name in the Chamorro language, "Guahan". This is part of what Governor Felix Camacho wants to leave as his legacy, which he mentioned in his State of the Island Address last month.

This afternoon's hearing will be held in the Legislature's Public Hearing Room.
